Proposal Box
There are a variety of proposal boxes you can explore online for your bridesmaid’s proposal. You can gather inspiration and create your own personalized box or choose from one of these fabulous sets below.
Survivor
Instead of a proposal box try making a bridesmaid’s survival kit? This humorous method will get some laughs, and come in handy if you’re ever a bridezilla.
Bling Her Out
Who doesn’t love a new piece of jewelry? From a customized bridesmaid’s charm to a sparkly bangle, jewelry is the way to go.
Sweet Tooth
If you swoon over anything related to Paris or maybe just watched one too many reruns of Gossip Girl, then why not customize a box of stamped macarons? This sweet treat is sure to be the perfect recipe for a maid of honor to say yes.
Try a fresh cupcake in a jar to add some more flavor.
Cheers with Wine
If you’ve been best friends for years, then you’ve most likely cracked a bottle of wine—or 50—together. Pop the bottle and cheers to her acceptance as your maid of honor or bridesmaid, or let her save it for a stressful day of wedding planning with you. You can customize the label with a picture of you two for an added personal touch. If your wine isn’t your bestie’s thing, then opt for champagne, liquor, or even a bag of coffee.
Add in something extra with a personalized wine glass.
Balloon Kit
Pop the question, while your friends pop their balloons with this sweet set from Petite 25, or you can make your own. This is a fun way to ask those special women in your life by hiding a secret message inside a balloon full of confetti.
Will You Be My Bridesmaid?
After you’ve selected your maid or matron of honor and bridesmaids, it’s time to ask them to accept the role officially. While there are endless ways you can ask the question, why not make it one to remember? Instead of sending a text or facetiming your friends, send them a fun invitation. Choose a way that speaks to your relationships, like a bridal party bracelet or bridesmaid proposal box. Whatever creative method you choose to ask, “Will you be my bridesmaid?” will be memorable, and more importantly, your friends are sure to say yes!
