How to ‘Propose’ to Your Bridesmaids

Recently engaged? It’s time for you to propose!
Asking your closest friends, relatives and future sisters-in-law to be part of your bridal party is one of the first steps to getting your wedding planning underway. It’s also one of the most deeply personal choices you’ll have to make. You’re choosing your entourage – the group of people you love and trust to help and attend to you in the coming months. They’re your friends, your advisers, your assistants, your confidantes, your emotional support system, your cheerleaders… sounds a lot like your fiance, doesn’t it?

Just as your fiance took the time to plan a thoughtful and personal proposal for you, “proposing” to your bridesmaids can be equally as meaningful. We’ve gathered our favorite creative ways of popping the question to your bridesmaids. We’d love to hear yours as well!

Cards

This may be the first piece of your wedding that your bridesmaids will see. Set the tone with a well designed, personalized note. This is great practice for your save-the-dates and invitations, allowing you to test drive design ideas, colors, fonts and even calligraphers.

Wine

What is a celebration without wine? A custom-labeled bottle shows your bridesmaids-to-be that you want them to help you celebrate!

Bridesmaid Boxes

Get personal. A box filled with little tokens, their favorite things and shared memories is a great way to show your friends what they mean to you.
