Bridesmaid Proposal

Hi Kourtney! I think bridesmaid proposal boxes can be fun, but for me they were an unnecessary expense and effort haha. I just asked my girls individually if they would be my bridesmaids, and it was really nice and special! I'll be splurging a bit more on their bridesmaids gifts at the wedding to make up for it I understand people's points of view that the proposal boxes can make people feel obligated to say yes, but you know your girls... if you are sure they are going to say yes anyway, then I wouldn't worry about that.

So to answer your question, I think the proposal boxes are nice but not necessary!

I just did a ring pop for my girls and it said will you be my bridesmaid? I think it is up to you and your friends. My BM knew they were going to be my bridesmaid. They are my two sisters and two nieces.

Hi Kourtney!

i found really cute bridesmaid boxes on Etsy for about $25 from Modparty. I loved them! My girls appreciated the custom names on them and I don’t think any felt pressured. I think if you’re pretty sure they will say yes then go ahead and do it! It’s your wedding so do what feels best for you!

I like them! I did ask them all individually but they all got basically the same gift. I did a mug with their Hogwarts house on it, a ring pop and a little owl to "deliver" it

I just mailed a "Will you be my ________?" card to the girls who I wanted to be in my bridal party! It was just a blank card on the inside where I was able to write a personalized note. It felt more special to me that way. You can do it however you want though! If you are sure that they will love being in your bridal party, go for the proposal box!

I asked them all individually with a set of earrings that they're wearing for the wedding. It's kind of included as part of their gift. If you were asking people who you think might not be interested, I would shy away from the gifts, but if they're all expecting to be in the wedding and you want to give a little gift, by all means do it!

I am slowly starting to realize that I'm not the traditional bride 😂. I asked all my girls individually. I realized I wanted to do a proposal box for my own selfish reasons ("DIY til I die! 😏) so I just converted my propsal box to a" thank you for saying yes" box instead.

I think it helps that you know they'll say yes anyway. There's really nothing to worry about. I doubt they'll hate it anyway. I personally didn't see the point. I literally just texted each one and basically said, "You're gonna be my maid of honor/bridesmaid, right?" I also don't have too much money to play with so I just decided to get them a thank you gift later.

I did bridesmaid proposals! I think it’s cute and it’s my wedding and I wanted to do it lol. I think if you’re asking close friends you should already have an idea as to if they will say yes or no. I bought a pack of plain white boxes and put initials on them. Tied a ribbon on it. I had 3 sugar cookies made for each, added a hand cream, a small wine bottle and some chocolate. It cost me about $12 each and it was just fun to make lol. Do it if you want!

Hi Kourtney! I am doing a bridesmaid proposal box, and I am so excited about it!!! I am not sure why so many people have such negative opinions about it. I feel like the only reason why anyone would hate the idea is either because they can’t afford it or they have doubts about some of the girls saying yes. I personally know that all my bridesmaids will say yes because they are all either family or my best friends. 3 out of 7 already know they are my MOH and BMs haha, but I’m still giving them their box. Also I just love giving! I ordered some super cute personalized items from Zazzle, and I can’t wait to give it to them!!

I got cute cards from Etsy (Melsy's Illustrations!) and got each of them a small split of Champagne and I personalized a champagne glass for them! It was very cute (my biased opinion haha), and wasn't too hard on my wallet!

I bought card board boxes from Michael's and put in there a candle, small.bottle wine, lip gloss, lotion, and chocolate with a personalized note. My girls raved about them. I think they are sweet but not necessary.

I did reasonable gifts just have fun with it. I have
1MOH
2BRDMDS, 2FWRGLS.
SHORT N SWEET we toast used poppers and showed of the rings as they looked at the gift basket..

View Quoted Comment Very easy. I spray painted boxes and letters. Hot glued the the letters on each box. Then placed items in box.

I did proposal boxes and my wedding party loved it! I didn’t want to spend too much and made the cards myself. I bought the box at michaels and everything else at target. My bridesmaids were so excited and some even cried which I did not expect. 10/10 would do it again!

Kourtney,
Remember alot of what you read is personal opinion and taste. Do you with no regrets. Have fun enjoy. Just let the ones
that's not expecting to be a BM know if they're available. That's not pressure. I have a special friend let me know she couldn't be in it but she's available to help.

They're cute, but don't feel pressured to go all out on proposal boxes if you don't want to or have the money to. I asked my girls with a bottle of wine that I created my own label for, a knot bangle, and other small goodies (rose gummies, ring pop, makeup) that didn't cost me too much. I was sure they would say yes regardless, so I didn't feel like I was pressuring them. You know your ladies the best and what they would like!

I think bridesmaid proposal boxes are fun, as long as they are within your budget. Since your girls already assume they will be in the wedding, I don't see anything wrong with giving them proposal boxes to "formally" ask them. I would do them individually though, just to make it more special between you and each person (and to avoid any possible added pressure a group environment might add...just in case).

Don't ever be sorry for asking questions! I texted my bridesmaids in advance, I asked them with an estimate for hotel cost & dress cost & date & location. When they said yes (they all did), I sent out formal proposal boxes!
