Proposing to your Bridesmaids -- cheesy or?

I didn't do anything special. To me , it is cheesy and a waste of money. I just asked them to be a bridesmaid.

If you want to do it, then do it!

Although keep in mind if you make it a bigger deal it might be awkward if they can't or might guilt people into committing to something they can't do.

Personally, i think they're cheesy. but if it's something you want to do and you think your friends would appreciate it, go for it! who cares if other people think its cheesy.

I think it's cute and I did it. I decorated a little box and made matching earrings and took them out to dinner. They all opened their boxes with personalized cards I made to pop the question to each of them. I felt like it was a sweet gesture and it got everyone excited.

That's a great date you have! I'm doing something little to ask them. Nothing too crazy. But you should do what feels right to you!!

I did it, all of my girls loved them. I put in a movie, a book, a personalized mug, a Kate spade make up bag, and a lokai bracelet and a note

I think its a nice gesture!! I got my BM's cards from Etsy and wrote a personal message inside. Then I bought a mini bottle of moscato wine (my fav!) and a ring pop both to go with the "pop" the question/bubbly theme of the card. It was sweet without being over the top!

When my bff asked me to be her MOH, she got us all a personalized wine glass with our name and "bridesmaid" or "maid of honor" on it and a mini bottle of wine.

It really makes you feel special, and I think they're really cute. Just don't go crazy with it, they don't need to be expensive!

Not a fan. I think they're cheesy and a waste of money.

I feel like it is so overdone and a little cheesy. I just sent them a card with a little saying on it that asked them. You know your future BM's better than us though. If you think they will enjoy it then do it!

I think it's a little silly. Just something else to fret over when you already have so much on your mind.

@annakay511 thats really cute. I love the idea of doing a wine/champagne!

And I know its a little cheesy haha, but I am a little cheesy, and I have been with FH for nearly 6 years so my BM-to-be know its coming

@Sarah twinning!

I did it & my girls loved them. we "proposed" at the engagement party. I didn't go crazy or anything & I know they felt special. here's what I gave them

@annakay511 I typed something similar like what the card says on a strip of paper and put it inside a balloon and the balloon inside a box with a small pin attached to a ribbon. @Danielle I don't think it's cheesy at all or a waste of money, total for 5 bridesmaids I spent about $20.00. I will say this 3 out of 5 bridesmaids cried when they popped the ballon and said that they felt so special that I would ask in such a way. )

I had so much fun making little boxes that I gave to my bridesmaids. I got blue tank tops from target and a bleach pen and wrote "bridesmaid" in bleach before rinsing and washing. It turned out awesome and was totally affordable. I added a mini champagne (Sofia from Coppola vineyard. They're pink bottles and come with a little straw attached). 3 out of my 5 bridesmaids are my sisters, so that was a given, plus my FSIL & best friend. I agree that it could put pressure on or guilt someone who might not be able or want to commit. You know your BMs : )

I did these wine bottles. Only 2 out of 3 have I asked yet, I can't seem to get together with my 3rd so I may just call her, ask her and give her this when we finally get together. Sorry if it's sideways.

My inspiration for the tanks : )

I'm waiting to give out actual gifts for the favors on the day of, but I did get adorable greeting cards that said "I promise not to be a total demanding bitch!" It was very me, and they all loved it. Would not spend more than $10 on bridesmaid proposals. I'm definitely using the wine/champagne bottle idea for favors, though!

I just asked them. except the one that called and told me. hahaha

I figured I'd save all the cuteness for their gifts.

I was always in the 'cheesy' camp... but I'm changing my mind!

My life-long friend asked me to be one of her bridesmaids a couple of weeks ago, and she had small champagne bottle with a 'bridesmaid' poem attached to it by a string.

It was really, really sweet. We popped the bottle and shared it then and there. Anyhow, I think it depends how you do it (don't build it up too much!) but I'm moving over from the 'cheesy' camp to the 'sweet' camp on this

I always thought it was a cute idea, and I debated it...but I decided to have everyone over girls and guys, made them all dinner and then gave each of my ladies a personalized note...and later I just gave them notecards with wedding information.

Just know that proposing to your BM is not mandatory, but if you really want to then I see no reason why you can't!
