Giving your bridesmaids a special treat before your wedding, is something they'll never forget.

Let’s face it, the lovely ladies who will stand by us on our Big Day? They’re kind of a big deal.

So to show them how much we appreciate them, here are 10 fun ideas for things to do with your ‘maids before you say “I do”!

1. BRIDESMAIDS BOUDOIR SESSION: Take a cue from the adorable boudoir bridal shower from Je T'aime Beauty and invite your gals to a bridesmaids boudoir session! It's sure to be filled with lots of laughs, bubbly and pampering.

2. FLOWER ARRANGING CLASS: What's better than playing with pretty flowers? Gather your girls for an afternoon of blooms and drinks like this sweet soiree from Style Within Reach. If you're planning on DIYing your florals, this is a great way to get your bridesmaids involved in the process!

3. COCKTAIL CLASS: Get mixin' with your 'maids at cocktail class. This little shindig from Lauren Wells Events, Flask & Funnel and Cambria Grace is just about as cute as it gets.

4. FANCY GETAWAY: If you really, really want to treat your girls, why not plan a pre-wedding vacation to relax and spend time with your besties? Consider it a sort of bridesmaids honeymoon.

5. BRIDESMAIDS 'ASK' BRUNCH: We love the idea of a Bridesmaids 'Ask' Brunch to initially invite your girls to be a part of your Big Day.

6. CALLIGRAPHY CLASS: Do something for your girls that they'll be able to use beyond your wedding! We're big fans of calligraphy classes around these parts. And bonus? You could even recruit your 'maids after to help with your wedding invitations!

7. DRESS SHOPPING: This seems like a no-brainer, but you'll definitely want at least a couple of your girls with you when dress shopping. You might already know exactly what you want, but having a second opinion is always a good idea! And trust us, they'll SO appreciate being included on their bridesmaids dress selection.

8. GIRLS WEEKEND: This will have to be a girls only retreat. And we're thinking this can totally double for a fabulous bridesmaid get-togethers!

9. DIY DAY: Gather up your gals for a bit of DIY action. From popsicle stick creations as little girls to fab watercolour makeup brush jars as lovely ladies, a craft day is always fun!

10. COOKING CLASS: With so many celebrations surrounded by food and a beautiful tablescape, a cooking class is a clever way to treat your girls for all of their help in your wedding planning process.
