Best Man "proposal" from a Bride

Caitlyn, on April 14, 2020 at 8:05 PM Posted in Planning 0 6

Hi ladies,

I wanted to see if anyone had some cute inspo for a Best Man "Proposal". I'm asking my brother to stand with me and my four Bridesmaids on our day. My future wife is also having four bridesmaids and a best man.

More Backstory (Sorry in advance! I like to over explain everything, esp when asking for tips/advice)

My FW has already asked her ladies & gent to be in our wedding. I've had my ladies gifts already prepared for a few months now and planned to travel back to PA this spring to pop the question. However, with COVID-19 and the travel bans between PA and Maryland, I'm not sure when that'll be now. I'm suuupperr anxious to tell them about it being that they're the only 4 people I'm close with and I'm TERRIBLE at keeping secrets. I've mostly sucked it up and am dealing with the fact that I can wait until we're able to (safely) go home next. Which isn't a hard feat compared to what the spring/summer brides of 2020 are dealing with.

So the next time I see my MOH will be hopefully in July/September sometime, and I'll be seeing my Best Man then as well becuase my step-brother and best friend are actually dating. She's moving to Alaska tomorrow to live with him. I was trying to mail her the box before she left (cheaper shipping), but it's not going to work out. Soo when they come home in the summer I'll ask the both of them. I haven't really thought of any ideas for him yet aside from Beef Jerky, Alcohol, and maybe Cigars? He was deployed in Iraq at the time that I was planning my girls stuff and I thought I would ask him over facetime and give him a gift later. ( I know the gifts for proposals aren't required but I really like the thought of them.)

Anyone have any cute/unique suggestions? He likes beer, video games & guns. This really isn't my department lol xD my fiance and I are both quite girly lesbians so I'm at a loss here.

Thank you in advance!!

    What about a “man basket” with things he would like in them? Along with a cute card to ask him to be the best man? 🤔 does he love close? You could get a pack or even a couple cans of his fav beer and put it forever with some other guy stuffs and grab those empty cards you can write in yourself and write in your question🙂

    That's a good idea! I defintely plan on including a card. He used to have a sneaker obsession when he was a teen and was never really into clothes. He wears flannels more than anything else. I'll have to get more insight from my best friend within the next few weeks.

    Sorry no help here, but wow I didn’t realize there were states banning Inter-state travel. I mean I know most of us have been given stay home orders but I’m in NC and my FH is in VA and we’ve still been traveling to each other each weekend.
