Will you be my bridesmaid? Ask it properly.
Ask them properly. Bridesmaid, best man, whoever stands with you. Write the letter, add the photos, and a film if there’s one to send, so they can hear you say it. Pay once and send the link. They open it on their screen, like the real thing.
Be my bridesmaid envelope: what goes inside
A letter
Why them, specifically. The night you knew they’d be standing next to you.
Dear Jess, You held my hair at nineteen. Hold my bouquet at thirty-one?
A postcard
The worst photo of the two of you. You know the one.
Magaluf, 2014. We said we’d never speak of it.
A film
The ask, to camera, with the answer you’re hoping for held up on a piece of card.
0:40 · Please say yes
How it works
Fill the envelope with a letter, postcards and a film — any mix, up to ten pieces, and one price for the whole envelope by what's inside. Pay once, by card. Send the link now, or keep it sealed until the day: no app to install, it opens on any phone, and it's kept for good.
Be my bridesmaid envelope questions
Can I send one to each bridesmaid?
Yes. Each is its own envelope with its own letter, so every one of them gets the reasons that are theirs. Or send one envelope to all of them, if you’d rather ask together.
Does it work for a best man or a maid of honour?
It works for whoever you’re asking. The envelope doesn’t mind what the job’s called.
How much does it cost?
$1.29 for letters and postcards, $5 with a film. One price for the whole envelope, up to ten pieces, paid once by card through Stripe. No subscription.
Do they need an app?
No. One link, opened in the browser on any phone, tablet or computer. They tap the seal and the envelope opens.
When should I send it?
Whenever you like. Send the link straight away, or send it now and set the day and time it opens — until then they’ll see the sealed envelope and a countdown.
Can I change it after I’ve paid?
Until they open it, yes. Sign in with the email you paid with and change what’s inside; the link stays the same. You can’t add anything that costs more than you paid, and once they’ve opened it, it stays as it is.
How long does it last?
For good. They can open it as many times as they like. A film is kept for a year after it’s first opened, and they can save their own copy.
