There are many things that make your big day special, and your girls (or guys) are definitely one of the most important. Not only do they stand upfront with you during your ceremony and sit at the head table with you at the reception, but they also are an integral part of planning your wedding! So, why not ask them to be part of your #bridetribe in a big way?
What even is a Bridesmaid Box?
Similar to a wedding proposal with an engagement ring, a bridesmaid proposal is when a bride asks her friends to a part of her wedding with a meaningful gift or set of gifts. (Check out this blog post to discover some other ways to propose to your bridesmaids.)
Things to Add to a Bridesmaid Proposal Box
The most important thing to focus on when asking your friends to be a part of your wedding party is making it memorable and nostalgic. There are a lot of #feels during the whole wedding planning process. For your friends, it might be a bit sad for them that their bestie is leaving singlehood and will probably be tied up in the honeymoon phase for a while. Make sure they know how much you love them with a really thoughtful gift box. Here are some ideas of things to include:
Bridesmaid Planner (Maid of Honor Planner)
Bottle of Champagne - we are celebrating your engagement after all, aren’t we?
Bath Bombs - so they can relax before everything gets hectic!
Hair ties - matching bride tribe ones will get everyone excited for the big day and are super practical.
Candles - your girls are the light of your life, right? Let them know with a lovely smelling candle
Tumblers - hydration is key, especially if you want everyone to have that glowing clear skin for your big day. Custom tumblers are a great way to achieve everyone’s hydration goals.
Cosmetic Bags - for touchups on the day of and useful for years to come.
Champagne Flutes - for the bubbly that everyone will invariably consume during all the wedding prep.
Sunglasses - if your bach bash is somewhere tropical, this can be a great way to get everyone amped up for some fun in the sun.
Robes - personalized robes are a fan favorite for morning-of photos, so why not pop the question with one?
Tote Bags - your girls are going to be lugging around stuff during the bachelorette, and probably on the day of your wedding as well. A tote bag is a great gesture that’s also super useful!
Explosion Box - this is a super unique box that reveals mementos and pictures as it opens. A fully customizable and really personal way to ask someone to be your bridesmaid
Tie the knot jewelry - you already got your bling, so why not give some to your gals when you propose to them?
Don’t Forget the Card!
Last but not least, your Bridesmaid box should always include a personalized card officially asking your friend to be a part of your wedding party. In your card you can also explain the next steps: Do they need to request off work during a certain time period for your bachelorette weekend? Do all your bridesmaids already know each other or are you going to have a brunch where you introduce everybody? Regardless of what you include in your card, let your friends know how special they are to you and how excited you are for them to stand by your side on your big day!
