Chic DIY “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” Cards to Make at Home

Few moments feel more special than asking your favorite people to stand by your side on the big day. And while a simple text or phone call might do the trick, a thoughtfully designed card makes a bridesmaid proposal truly memorable. You don’t need design experience or hours of free time to DIY your cards, either. With the Graphic Designer’s wedding templates and intuitive design tools, you can craft the prettiest “Will you be my bridesmaid?” card in no time right from your browser. 

What to Write on a “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” Card

We’ve all seen hundreds of marriage proposals play out onscreen and social media, but how do you ask if someone will be your bridesmaid? Your message can be short and sweet, playful and punny, or heartfelt and emotional. Here are a few fun ideas for what to write on your bridesmaid card:

• “I can’t say ‘I do’ without you.”
• “It wouldn’t be the same without you by my side.”
• “Something old, something new, I can’t walk the aisle without you!”
• “I found my person – now I need my people. Will you be my bridesmaid?”
• “He asked. I said yes. Now I’m asking you!”
• “Your support means everything. Will you stand beside me on the big day?”
• “I’ve got the groom, the dress, and the date. All I need is you.”

Of course, a classic “Will you be my bridesmaid?” works just as well, but a catchy bridesmaid quote will help make the experience more fun for the both of you. To make your bridesmaid proposal card extra personal, don’t shy away from using inside jokes, shared memories, and old photos.

How to Make a Bridesmaid Proposal Card

Even though there aren’t dedicated templates for bridesmaid cards, the Graphic Designer’s wedding template sets are a perfect starting point for creating your proposal. They’re already beautifully designed for wedding invitations and announcements, so with just a few tweaks, they can be transformed seamlessly into personalized bridesmaid cards. Plus, this way, they can be tied in with the rest of your invitation suite if you so choose!

Step 1: Choose a Wedding Template

Open up the wedding templates section of the Graphic Designer. Save the dates, invitations, and thank you cards can all be turned into perfect bridesmaid proposal messages with a few clicks. The main thing to focus on at this stage is the overall layout. Text, graphics, and colors can all be changed in the following steps. 

Step 2: Customize Size & Color

A typical card size is 5” x 7”, so head to the Customize tab to make sure the design is in the proper 5:7 ratio. The Smart Resizer makes reformatting any design easy. 

Here is also where you can change the canvas’s background color. If you’ve already chosen a wedding color palette, consider tying it in with your bridesmaid cards.

Step 3: Replace Imagery

If customizing a wedding template with imagery, use the Image Manager to replace the placeholder images with a photo of you and your friend. For extra flair, take advantage of the in-platform Photo Editor to apply edits and effects like the AI Portrait Enhancer or Sky Replacer.

Step 4: Personalize Text & Graphics

Click on the headline to replace it with your bridesmaid message. For instance, change “Save the date” to “Will you be my bridesmaid?” In the smaller subheading you can add your name or the wedding date, or even a note like, “Let’s make memories this May!” Choose from hundreds of available fonts, from classy serifs to bubbly text to handwritten scripts.

Add or replace shapes, graphics, or artwork in the Graphics tab, where you’ll find thousands of different design assets. You can make the card specifically bridesmaid-themed, or have it match the wedding theme if you’ve already decided on one.

Step 5: Save and Share

After looking it over and making final adjustments, your bridesmaid proposal card is ready to go! Click Save at the top of the canvas and export as a print-quality PDF for the best printing results.

Here’s the final result – a card that asks “Will you be my bridesmaid?” in a way that’s both beautiful and memorable.
