One of the best parts about your big day is having your closest friends and family there to celebrate with you! Your wedding party is the people who will celebrate you and your incoming marriage throughout your engagement up until the big day.
Whether your party is big or small, deciding who to be in your wedding party is a significant choice. Try choosing family and friends you are close with and can imagine staying close with after your wedding day! If you haven’t seen Cousin Addie in years but talk to your best friend from college every day, the choice is more straightforward than you might think. Decide who you and your fiancé think are best for both of you!
You can always ask your bridesmaids and groomsmen just through a conversation, but recently, we’ve seen fun and creative ways to ask your party in the form of proposals! This can be a box full of cute items, a customized gift, or a bottle of their favorite bubbly. Here are our 4 favorite ideas if you’re looking to do something special.
Bridesmaids Proposal Boxes
A bridesmaid proposal box is a cute way to ask your bridesmaids to stand by your side on your big day! If gift-giving is your love language, then this is for you! Bridesmaid boxes can easily be assembled by you or bought packaged together from sites such as Amazon or Etsy.
Your box can include anything you want to add, such as small bottles of bubbly, makeup, self-care items, jewelry, or practical items for your big day or bachelorette party, such as a getting-ready robe or bridesmaid accessories!
Don’t worry; they even make boxes for the men as well!
Personalized Gifts
Another popular item is anything personalized with your party’s names on it! This can be cups, travel mugs, makeup bags, jewelry holders- anything you can imagine. These items are custom to each person, making it easy for them to use in the future, even after your big day. You can include their name or add their name and title if you wish.
A custom toiletry bag, flask, koozie, or beer glass are all great options for your groomsmen. They’re all practical items the guys will surely enjoy, making them feel a little extra special!
A personalized item is an excellent choice if you want to do something special but don’t want to go all out with a proposal box. Your party is sure to appreciate the sentiment!
Wine and Whiskey Bottle Labels
Like a personalized gift, these bottle label proposals are a great way to do something small to ask your party and can easily be used for both the girls and the guys! These custom champagne or wine bottle labels are a fun choice to surprise a friend who’s just thinking you brought wine to go with dinner. You can customize with names or choose from many Bridesmaid options on Amazon and Etsy! For the guys, grab their favorite bottle of booze. This whiskey label is easy and fun, with all the necessary information!
A Heartfelt Note
While proposal gifts are fun, don’t feel pressured to do something extravagant just because everyone else is. A wedding is a great occasion to let your friends and family know how much they mean to you. A personal note asking your closest friends and family is a sweet gesture they will cherish. Tell them why you’re asking them to be in your party, what you’re looking forward to with them being in your party, and reminisce on your memories with them. It makes for a sweet moment to share before they are included in such a special day of your life!
Wedding party proposals are a fun way to appreciate those closest to you and make them feel special and included in your new season of life! Whether you go the extravagant or simple route, your party is sure to feel touched you want to have them by your side on your big day.
