Bridesmaid proposal ideas!

Julianna, on February 15, 2017 at 9:12 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 1 27

So I want to find a cute way to ask my bridesmaids that isn't a gift because I feel like that puts too much pressure on them. I found some cute ideas but any ideas are appreciated! Smiley smile

    This was our bridesmaid and flower girls. The colors were our wedding colors for the flower girl!

    I bought these for mine and when it popped confetti came out and there was a personalized note inside asking them to be my bm/moh. The top of the box was cute but I can't find that photo for the life of me. Lol. Only $6

    I asked my bridesmaids with a simple box and a ring pop. It was about $3 a piece. Got everything from the dollar store

    I went a little overboard with my boxes. The girls loved it! So it was all worth it. And everything was on sale.

    Ring pop, champagne, throwback pictures, bath bomb, flask, shot glass, cute save the date card and cute cards.

    I found the quotes online and just made my own template and went to the dollar store and bought 5X7 frames, gift bags and tissue paper!! I had all the girls over to help my mom and I with the Engagement Party invitations with wine and pizza and once everyone was there (with the exception of two who couldn't make it) I gave them the gift bags!! We all had so much fun and they were all surprised!!

    Good luck!!

    I asked with a bottle of wine with a sticker on it. All my girls love wine so I got them their favorite! I wish I had taken a pic!

    You shouldn't ask for at least another year. Way too early

    I did something for each brides that fit there personally, which made it more personalized to each bridesmaid. One i did a cute picture frame that said my wedding wouldnt be speical wothout my bestfriend! Will you be my bridesmaid! Then i had a ring pop, and then i put some other small things that they liked, like if you go to a store you cab get small bottles of wine or small box wine. For another one i painted a box purple and put small items in there like the wine, candy and socks things that she liked this was for my MH and i said soon to be sister but until then will you be my MH. And then woth my cousin i just called them and asked them to be bridesmaid, but i made there gifts at the wedding a little better since i didnt ask them in a cute way. I spend no more than 60 dollars on bridesmaid and asking doesnt have to break the bank just something that they like. Or a way that is significant to yalls relationship.

    All my bridesmaids are in different cities. Over the few months after our engagement when I visited each I treated them to dinner and asked. They appreciated the free food and it was a chance to get to see all of them!

    It's kind of difficult to see in the picture but I put personalized labels on the sparkling wine bottles and then had champagne glasses engraved and put them in cute boxes.

    UO: If I am going to be a bridesmaid I want a year warning. I go all out for my girls and it costs a lot of money and can be a time commitment planning a bachelorette and bridal shower not to mention the dress and other expenses. I want a year to budget for all this and make sure I do not plan any vacations within a few months of your wedding so I don't miss a bridal shower or bachelorette.

    I asked mine with a card that had vows to them that I wouldn't be a bridezilla and wouldn't put them in a ridiculous dress. I put glitter in it and mailed it to all of them so they got glitter bombed when they opened them.

    I did something totally crazy. I called them and asked. It doesn't need to be a big production, save the money/boxes for their gifts you will get them for being a part of your day.
