What to do to make her say "YES!" to be a bridesmaid
In your case, things are arranged, at least partially. You were proposed to, you said "Yes!", you are both over the moon, you have notified your relatives, friends... but you still have one important step to take: pop the question. "Will you be my maid of honor?"
In these modern times, it seems like words alone are no longer enough. It's not that they lack substance and have lost their deep meaning, but they seem to work better when they are wrapped in creative packaging. Here are some super creative ways to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids (even though the messages below are in English, they can easily be adapted to the local context):
The message in the bottle
What could be more adorable than a handwritten or computer-written message on a piece of paper that will later be rolled up and hidden in a bottle? It has nothing to do with a shipwreck, but represents a surprise and a serious proposal for the future bridesmaids.

The box of goodies
No, it's not about edible goodies, but rather, I would call them goodies for the soul: a handkerchief with a message of friendship - to wipe away her tears of emotion - a few color samples for choosing the shade of the dress for the happy event, sentimental photos of the two of you, greeting cards with special messages, etc.

Fortune cookie
Known mainly under the English name "fortune cookie", the fortune cookie is a sweet attention that comes in the form of an offer you can't refuse.

Puzzle with… meaning
Once the puzzle is solved, the meaning will be revealed. Why the puzzle? Because she, the bridesmaid, is the missing piece. "Will you be my maid of honor?" or "I would be happy if you would accept to be my maid of honor!" – are suitable messages for the puzzle with subtext.

Cookie puzzle
I had "fortune cookie" why wouldn't we have "cookie puzzle"? Do you know her as a sweet tooth? Contact a good pastry shop in your city. Order a cake "decorated" with a photo of the two of you and the message "The future bride with the future bridesmaid". Cut the cake and combine the pieces. Before you enjoy the delicious treat together, make sure he puts together… the message! Here is the sweetest way to propose to her.
