Bridesmaids Proposal

I just called them all and asked.

Personally I'm not a fan of the whole bridesmaid proposal trend. I only have my MOH, I went the old fashioned way, called her and asked, "you wanna be by MOH?" lol yeah, we're pretty informal like that.

I"m with Amy. Everything concerning weddings is getting so out of control......

I found a free ecard online, personalized it for each of them and asked them that way. I didn't want to spend money - didn't think it was necessary. Trust me, they were just as excited.

All but one of my BP were on the vacation where my FH proposed. I'd bought imprint paper there, and collected the shells there, so I made their cards using those. On the flipside - I've been a BM three times, and as far as I can recall, was always just asked over the phone or face-to-face. At my cousin's wedding, I actually did not even know I was the MoH till the night before the wedding!

I think the bridesmaid proposals kind of make BM's think they have to say yes. It's unnecessary pressure. Sometimes our Best friends just can't commit to being in our weddings for financial or other reasons and a "proposal" makes it harder for them to say no, which means down the line they might have to drop out. Also, sorry but the only "creative bride" was the first one who did this and put it on Pinterest.

I used cards.com to make personalized photo cards for my three girls. I had them shipped to me, then added a personal, handwritten note. Since none of them live where I do, I waited until I saw two of the three in person. The third I face timed with while she opened her card. That was extravagant enough without going overboard or getting too cheesy.

I made key chains with picture key chains and each had a picture of me and that girl in it then the other side of the key ring was what I wanted then to be like bm or moh and then I diyed a beaded dangeler (if that's a word) and put it in a cute box and made a card off of esty

I'm not a fan of the fact that every single ounce of the wedding planning experience has been completely blown out of proportion, then people complain they are "stressed over all the little details" and that weddings are so expensive. I agree with @Maltese.

I asked my two local BM's over dinner while we celebrated my engagement and my brother/out-of-state BM over the phone. No one was expecting special treasure boxes and ribbons and fireworks, they know I'm low key and this is going to be a mellow, low key wedding.

I made these for them, but the third girl I actually just called this week because I haven't see her to give it to her. Sorry if it ends up sideways, I've given up on trying to fix it.

I'll also say that although I love the idea of giving a little proposal thingy because it's cute, I don't think it's necessary. One bride gave me a card, the other two just asked and I didn't think twice about either. I'm just crafty and a graphic designer so I thought these would be cute. They were $6 bottles of Beringer WZ on sale, ribbon was from A.C. Moore (I think $1 each for 3 yards which was the perfect amount) and the labels I did myself and printed at work. Cut em and pasted them with double sided tape. I think it cost like $8-$10 per bottle if even (for 3).

I got all my girls together for happy hour and gave them little boxes that said stand by me on the outside and the inside said Will you be my-----? With a pair of flip flops on our colors.

I did it this way.... Bought the picture frames from esty.com. They have many proposal ideas too. The cards I downloaded for free on some random site I found on google. On the inside part of the card I wrote how much each person meant to me and how they've been there for me. Some of my bridesmaid live in different states so I had it mailed to them. For those who lived in FL with me I had it waiting for them inside their home by having a family member set it up either in their room on kitchen counter top.
