Bridesmaid proposal ideas wanted!

Jenny, on July 2, 2019 at 16:39 Posted in Before the wedding 0 40
Hey everyone!

I’ve already asked my girls to be in my wedding but it was just in casual conversation, so I want to give them bridesmaid/maid of honour boxes with goodies in them and “officially ask them”.

Drop ideas/pictures of what you put in your boxes down below! TIA 💕

    I did mine for about $40 each - wine tumblers engraved with their names with a bottle of champagne. I added custom cards to them with "will you be my bridesmaid or moh" and wrote why they were so important to us

    I "proposed" to my best friends with the above- a necklace, charcoal mask, concert tickets, nail polish, candy, a drink and a Tshirt" !

    This idea is small yet doable as you put your final gift together towards the end for the girls.

    Totally agree with bridesbabes...tests exactly what we call our squad. "Maid" seems so dated or outdated...

    My best suggestion if you are planning on getting a re-usable gift- don't get 'bridesmaid' inscribed anywhere on it, as it will probably never be used again! i def don't use anything in public that says 'bridesmaid' that i've been given- and never would! i'd opt for their name or initials instead **and that's if you feel you MUST personalize- i'd guess more of the party would be happier if gifts weren't personalized at all! jus my 2c Smiley smile

    I had personalized cards made for them to ask if they'd be my brides babe. Originally I wanted to do a "ask box" but I didn't want them to feel pressured or obligated to commit if they weren't able to for some reason. I chose to word brides babe and babe of honor cause i hate the word "maid". I feel they shouldn't be maids to the bride. I will get them a brides babe gift box later on.

    In my boxes to my bridesmaids I put a picture frame with a picture of the two of us. I put stickers on the frame to write out their role and an adjective to describe them. I filled a mason jar with candy and wrote “you’re sweet” on the mason jar. I printed off a card and wrote a personal message to each girl. I added a bath bomb. Finally, I found these lockets on Etsy. Inside the locket is a tiny piece of paper asking the girl to be my bridesmaid. I had a lot of fun putting the boxes together. Pinterest was definitely a big help for coming up with ideas.

    I made 4 boxes for $120 including boxes! I had a facemask, nail polish, a mug that I personalized to say bridesmaid/moh, a little makeup bag that I also personalized to say their names on one side, and bridesmaid /moh and the date on the other. I also made bracelets for each and slippers I found at Walmart that said "bride tribe". I added some ring pops for fun and was done! They were very well received 😊

    I gave my girls hair ties from 'love mia and co' that say bridesmaid on them, I'm going to be splurging a bit more on their wedding day gifts so I didn't do anything huge for the proposal but they still loved them!

    I did a box with a personalized puzzle, alex and ani bracelet, picture frame so they can put the puzzle if they want and a proseco bottle. The puzzles have been the absolute best!
    There is a pic for reference (sorry lighting is bad).

    I’m sure by now you’ve got ideas of what you want to put in the box. Something I did that I thought was sentimental/unique was instead of a card I printed out pictures of me and each bridesmaid/flower girl and used it as the card. I wrote each one a different saying asking them to be part of the wedding! They loved it and it made it a bit more personal for each one. I punched a hole in the corner and tied it to their bags with string.

    Hi!

    I'm going to have a bakers dozen of bridesmaids, so I opted to be very DIY. One thing I'm doing is make an infused gin for each girl. I'ver ordered pretty glass bottles from Amazon and got a big bottle of gin and I will be infusing it to make it a marigold gin. A really simple process, but it needs time to infuse.

    All the best!

    I'm just waiting on one more order but my girls are getting a shot glass ( it says team bride on it), nail polish, a braclet ( the bridesmaids get silver and my maid if honor get gold), a bottle opener, and fun card that says " at least act surprised that I asked you to be my bridesmaids/maid if Honor.

    I did a box with name on it- steamless wine glass with title and name, makeup bag, wine label with saying bride tribe and info with wine, and something else-

    Only issue is now when trying to do a gift for the day of- I feel like spent a lot already on it and don't want to do much. I would suggest going small and don't do items that could be gifts on main day.

    I asked my girls with personalized robes and a beach charm with a cute ocean-themed poem (for our destination wedding.) I knew I wanted the robes so it was kind of two birds with one stone!

    This is how I proposed. With a note and a ring pop. It was cute simple and inexpensive. I have purchased a great gift for each of my bridal party. No need to spend a bunch of money on the bridesmaid proposal.

    Mine were out of town so I used Sugar Wish and sent them all their favorite candies with a cheesy poem attached.

    Makes more sense that way and budget what you would like to put together per bridesmaid eventually.
