To ask my friends to be bridesmaids via text?

[Nootellaontoast]

will be asking my 4 friends to be bridesmaids but a few people live quite far away. One is in manchester, another leeds, another Preston. The soonest everyone can meet up is the beginning of august so I was planning on asking them then.

however over the last few weeks I have really wanted to discuss things with them and ask them questions etc. plus I’m excited! Would I be best just to wait another 3 months to do it in person or would it be ok to text them all in the group chat? I guess I’m just impatient

I messaged my own sister asking her to be BM. Just do what works for you! And congratulations!!!

Of course! Why not? Congratulations.

Call them instead.

I would call them rather than text, it's more personal and memorable to have an actual conversation!

Don't call. Calling doesn't leave them wiggle room to say no. Text is fine

Can you do a group WhatsApp call? I think it's a lovely memory to do it by conversation

Absolutely, a nice text or phone call is fine.

I'm assuming you don't see them often? In which case, of course via chat is fine.
