Asking Bridesmaids

I am going to ask my maid of honor at our favorite resteraunt. It`s nice and simple, and we will have time to think it over.

Thanks so much for the advice...I wish I could do that but everyone that we have in our wedding party lives in our home town...we, only the other hand don`t...I liked one idea about sending a flower to the maid of honor and saying `This is only one flower...I`m hoping you will hold the rest at the day of my wedding if you will accept my request of being my maid of honor` or something along those lines...I wanted to do something different though for the rest of the bridesmaids...any more ideas?!?!?!?
