Bridesmaid proposal in public or private?

I think it's cute to do it privately just because you guys can share the moment together just the two of you but I mean it could be really fun too to do it in front of others, guess depends on how introverted the other person is

There have been so many horror stories on here about public BM proposals where they said no, couldn’t make it, or felt pressured and said yes in the moment, only to say no a few weeks later.

I personally would do them privately. That’s what we did and there was no undue drama! Haha

I would definitely feel pressured to say yes if I was asked in front of others.

I can totally see why you'd want to do it public, but I agree with pp. Doing it in private is better for both parties involved for a number of reasons, plus, it helps a special moment between you and your friends.

I would definitely say private.

I asked all of mine privately since it is a destination wedding. Once they said yes they could make it, I gave them their proposal boxes! That part varied in public/private depending on when I could meet up with them. I definitely think private is the way to go so no one feels pressured to say yes in front of people.

I went to dinner or lunch with everyone separately and asked them and it was super nice and relaxed!

I texted the girls privately to make sure they could do it time-wise and financially. Then I sent proposal gifts.

I went to dinner with my MOH and gave her the box then. One of my bridesmaids works with my FH so I had him put it on her desk so she came into work and saw it. And the other two were couples with groomsmen so we gave them both at the same time while we were camping. I don't think I've ever heard of someone saying "No" to being apart of the bridal party, but privately is much more meaningful
