A growing trend for brides-to-be is the bridesmaids proposal – popping the big question, “will you be my bridesmaid?” While asking the question is nothing new, it is popular now to ask with a small gift of some sort or a punny trinket to thank them for their friendship and support throughout the wedding planning process. If you’re not sure how you want to ask your girlfriends (who may or may not see it coming), this guide offers cute bridesmaid proposal ideas for every type of bride and her helpers.
Gifts for a Bridesmaid Proposal
A popular way to pop the question to your bridesmaids is to give them a gift to thank them in advance for helping you deal with wedding stress. This gift can be small, and it doesn’t have to be expensive. You know your bridesmaids best, so go with your gut or try out these favorite bridesmaid proposal gifts.
Sweet Treats for A Bridesmaid Proposal
Give your bridesmaids a sweet treat when you ask. Bakeries or candy shops can customize cupcakes, cookies, chocolates, or another confection by writing the question in icing, or you could create a customized box with your bridesmaids’ names and your proposal. If you’re skilled in the kitchen, you could create these treats on your own to save money.
Pop the Question with Jewelry
You don’t have to spend too much, but a cute necklace or bracelet is a nice token of gratitude for your bridesmaids. If it fits the style of their dresses for the wedding, they could all wear their matching jewelry on the big day. One popular option in this category is a small knot necklace – a pun on the bride and groom tying the knot. You could also package the jewelry in a cute box or velvet bag with the question written on it, however you may want to phrase it.
Wine For Your Bridesmaids
Your bridesmaids are probably the girls you sip wine with anyway, so why not give them a bottle as a gift when you ask them to help you down the aisle. You can create cute customized labels to put on the bottle, possibly with their name, the date of your wedding if it’s set, or the question itself. This option is a nice gesture for your bridesmaids, and you can celebrate by popping one of the bottles open.
Bridesmaid Proposal Candles
A candle is a useful gift that is also easily customizable. Custom order your favorite scent, and create a jar or label to commemorate your bridesmaid proposal. The same information as the wine label applies here – names, dates, and however you want to ask the question, be it funny, punny, or heartfelt.
Bridesmaid Boxes and Beauty Kits
Create a cute gift box or basket for your bridesmaids to help them look their best and stay relaxed while they help you plan and prepare for your wedding. You could include beauty items like sheet face masks, bath bombs, artisanal soaps, lip balm, or whatever you think they’ll most enjoy. You can take this idea and apply it as you wish – a gift box of small presents can work for non-beauty items as well.
Tie the Knot Hair Ties
This is a simple but popular option, playing on the “tie the knot” puns yet again. A pack of the popular no-crease hair ties is useful (because who doesn’t lose hair ties all the time anyway) and stylish. This option is also cheap while still showing your bridesmaids that you appreciate their support. Pick colors that go along with your color scheme or their bridesmaids dresses if you have that figured out, and don’t forget to include the joke about helping you tie the knot somehow.
Personalized bridesmaid champagne glasses
Custom order or craft champagne glasses for yourself and your bridesmaids as a fun gift for your proposal. These will be useful in the future, whether you’re sipping champagne together or solo. Fast-forward to your wedding day, when you can all get ready together pre-wedding, sipping bubbly in your matching, personalized glasses. The same idea works for wine glasses, coffee mugs, or shot glasses.
Interactive Bridesmaids Proposals
Rather than just a gift, some brides choose to ask their besties to be bridesmaids with an activity. You can ask them all together at a spa day, or play games to reveal the big question.
Bridesmaid Balloon reveal
This is a cheap and fun option – fill balloons with a note asking for your friend to be your bridesmaid and add confetti for extra flair. You can then give them their balloons and a pin or needle to pop it and literally pop the question. This option costs next to nothing and creates an endearing memory for everyone involved. Try to capture the moment with a picture or video to share and possibly frame for a later gift!
Bridal Party Spa Day
Propose to your bridesmaids while also inviting them to a spa day. You can choose to spend more or less on this gift depending on what services you want, from a full spa day to a simple massage for everyone. The spa day will be a much needed day of relaxation during hectic wedding planning or right before the big day, and it gives you a chance to spend time and bond with your girlfriends.
Puzzle Reveal Bridesmaid Proposal
For another interactive bridesmaid proposal, create a puzzle that asks the question for you. You can make individual puzzles or invite them all over at once to complete a single puzzle together and ask them all at once. This gives them a fun task and makes for an interesting proposal, and the puzzle can be saved and framed.
