As you start planning your wedding, one of the most exciting moments is when you get to ask your closest friends to be your bridesmaids. And what better way to ask them than with a thoughtful and personalised bridesmaid proposal box? Traditionally, bridesmaid proposal boxes weren’t huge in the South Asian culture, but we have seen a rapid increase in more & more brides opting for them.
Here are 20 items you can include in your bridesmaid proposal box to make it extra special.
Nothing says bride tribe like matching statement pieces! We love this fusion ring, which is so versatile and can be worn with tons of different outfits.
Your wedding is an incredibly important celebration, and there’s a reason you are choosing to have bridesmaids by your side on this day. Start off by writing a heartfelt letter to each of your bridesmaids, expressing how much they mean to you and why you want them by your side.
This year is all about buying presents that uplift your bridesmaids, and that they’ll actually use. Honestly, your bridesmaids don’t always want or need another personalised shot glass or champagne flute. Pamper your girls with some luxurious face masks.
Not everyone wants all their bridesmaids to look exactly the same, so it’s a wonderful idea to mix & match with beautiful elements with bits of customisation for each of your girls.
The best upgrade to any glass of bubbly, and definitely one of the more unique items that your bridesmaids definitely would not have seen (or go out to buy themselves!).
Whether you choose to have complementary bridesmaids outfits or not, complementary accessories ideas are always a good idea. A pack of bindis are perfect, and also the best addition to any girls desi collection.
Another super practical present for your girls. Perfect to store their dainty jewellery for your hen, wedding, and for years to come. Available in tons of colours, to allow you to truly think of what matches each of your bridesmaids best.
Featuring a choice of personalised lables, this natural, scented soy wax candle is perfect for your girls. Personalise the scent according to your bridesmaids and what they like. They will definitely remember you and your special day everytime it’s lit.
As soon as you pop the question to your bridesmaids, you are guaranteed to get a ton of questions about the wedding, hen, outfits etc.! Provide your girls with an entire (adorable) FAQ sheet, for them to keep.
Perfect for them to re-use and remember – we love a sustainable gift! These hangers are an adorable addition, with personalised colourful bows for each bridesmaid.
A beautiful classic, which will never go out of style. We love the symbolism on this one, and it’s the perfect dainty gift when you pop the question to your bridesmaids.
We don’t know what we love more, the colour or the labels! A bridesmaid proposal box can get expensive, it’s the cute trinket additions like these which your bridesmaids will definitely appreciate, and also make it more cost effective for you.
The perfect timeless piece. We love the elegant little details on this one – perfect after a long day of wearing heavy desi earrings.
Whether it be your hen, or your wedding morning, or even years after your big day; these will be memorable pieces that your bridesmaids will genuinely make use of. Try not to over-personalise your items to your specific wedding, as this may reduce the amount of usage a bridesmaid will get; instead, opt for more name personalisation, if anything.
You can never have too many socks!
A different kind of keepsake for your bridesmaids. These beautiful engraved wooden notes are sure to remind your girls how much you appreciate them.
Having a journal has become more & more common recently, and there are so many mindful benefits to having one. If you love travel & wellbeing, this is the perfect gift from you.
A bit more on the expensive side, but if you are looking for something different and aren’t too keen on something tangible, why not try an experience? A private chef experience is the perfect way to treat you and your girls.
