So your partner finally popped the question and now you’re engaged and super excited! But wait, you have to plan a wedding and there’s so much to do! Well, we are here to help with just one of your many tasks: what to put in your bridesmaid proposal boxes?
Choosing your bridesmaids can be a tough decision. These are some of the most important people in your life; they have been there for you through thick and thin, and you couldn’t see yourself doing this day without them. So how do you convey all this in just a little box?
Especially when you want to show appreciation for the fact that you are going to have a lot of questions and responsibilities for them leading up to and at the wedding!
To help get you started, here are five of our top items to include when you pop that question to your bridesmaids:
- Something To Put Everything In – The first item you are going to need for your bridesmaids is something to put everything in. This can be a custom box that a variety of local companies such as Bubbly Box or Bridesmaid Boxes Australia can make for you to say “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?”. It can be a basket; this is the most economical option and can be picked up at your local Target as just something to put the items in when you are handing them to your bridesmaid but doesn’t have any personalisation. Or it can be our personal favourite: a reusable, durable, and stylish personalised Jute Tote Bag. With a Jute Tote Bag, you can personalise it to say anything you want, adding a lot more versatility than the other two options and giving you the option to make it something your bridesmaids will use again by getting something like their name put on each bag. Not everyone wants a bag or box that says ‘bridesmaid’ but everyone loves something unique.
- A Heartfelt Note – After choosing the perfect container for your bridesmaid proposal box, the next essential item to include is a heartfelt note. This is your chance to express your gratitude and excitement for having them by your side on your special day. Personalise each note by recalling cherished memories together or highlighting why their friendship means so much to you. A handwritten message adds a personal touch that your bridesmaids will treasure forever.
- A Bottle Of Bubbles Celebrate the moment with a mini bottle of champagne or prosecco. This bubbly treat is not only a fun and festive way to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids but also sets the tone for celebrating throughout your wedding journey. You can even customise the label on Etsy with each bridesmaid’s name or a special message, making it a keepsake they can enjoy or save to toast on your wedding day.
- A Relaxing Candle – Planning a wedding can be both exciting and stressful, so help your bridesmaids unwind with a soothing candle. Choose a scent that evokes relaxation, such as lavender or vanilla, and package it beautifully in your bridesmaid proposal. It’s something that’s easy, low cost, and useful.
- A Custom Robe – To add a touch of luxury and pampering to your bridesmaid proposal box, consider including a custom robe. Whether it’s embroidered with their initials or a monogram, a soft robe is perfect for getting ready on the morning of the wedding and doubles as a practical gift they can use long after the festivities are over. Choose a colour that complements your wedding theme or each bridesmaid’s personal style for a thoughtful and stylish addition to their wardrobe. Some of our favourite companies are All Things Nice and Le Rose Stories.
