A bridesmaid proposal is a fun and creative way to announce your engagement and ask friends and family to be in your wedding party.
As early as possible! You’ll want to give your friends and family time to make travel arrangements. There are a lot of expenses associated with being in a wedding, so giving plenty of notice allows people time to budget.
The options are really limitless. Some great items to pub in a bridesmaid proposal box are candles, lip gloss, silk robes with their name embroidered on the back, personalized items like wine glasses or tumblers, personalized notebooks or planners, and of course mini champagne bottles are always a hit!
Etsy is a great resource for purchasing made-for-you bridesmaid proposal boxes. The post 10 Gorgeous Bridesmaid Proposal Box Ideas features my favorite Etsy finds.
