Bridesmaid Proposal

How did you ask your bridesmaids to be part of your wedding? And when? I am considering a bridesmaid proposal/gift boxes with personal cards (luckily I only have 2 people in mind), nothing expensive but maybe some beauty/pamper items.

I wrote a little poem I found online in a pretty card and went round to them individually with their favourite flowers and a bottle of fizz (non alcoholic as was driving and 1 was pregnant).

I sent out a sweet delivery with a personalised message. It is a nice surprise as it comes through the letter box of the recipient and isn't expensive! I got mine from sweetsinthecity

I found out very last minute that I will be seeing my one and only bridesmaid on the day I asked and had not planned anything and was not going to see her again for a while so I just got a krispy kreme donut and made a little tag I printed and stuck onto cardboard from a delivery and put it into a gift bag. She loved it and it was so simple.

I just asked mine, but I'm planning a nice surprise for the night before the wedding for them, so I wasn't doing a big fancy proposal for them.

Got my 2 bridesmaids personalised makeup bags and put prosecco, chocolate & a little wish bracelet inside you could fit other bits in too and its nice because now they use them for their makeup whereas sometimes the boxes just sit in cubboards

I did a gift box with a poem. It was my nans 80th birthday party and I'd taken my nan away and my cousin (bridesmaid to be) off and asked my cousin to read the poem to nan for me. That was my surprise announcement of us setting a date to my nan and to my cousin. It was lovely. My nan then announced it to the family. X

I got mine photo jigsaw fridge magnets. They had a picture of the person and then the question at the bottom. They had to build the jigsaw to get the message and then kept the jigsaws on their fridge. Our save the dates were the same for everyone else too.

I wrote them both a little poem. Me and my best friend have always had an agreement since we were small that we would have each other as bridesmaid so I wrote her a little poem saying as my the first one to get married I want you to be my number one will you be my chief bridesmaid? And I asked my sister in law the same day I asked my brother to give me away (are dad died when I was 12), I put in her card, as Jason is giving me away to the man of my dreams, please can you help me get ready to marry mine? Will you be by bridesmaid?

I made little ring boxes covered in purple (their fave colour) glitter with their names on and put Ring Pops inside with a wee message. I proposed to one of them in a bar when I went to visit her and I proposed to the other in the middle of the city centre when I visited her. Both on one knee
