7 Ideas for What to Put in a Bridesmaid Proposal Box

What is a bridesmaid proposal box?

In short, a bridesmaid proposal box is a lovely excuse to spoil your favourite people with some gifts (bonus points if they’re from a small brand). But, if we’re being technical, it’s a really special way to ask your besties, “Will you be my bridesmaid?”. Getting down on one knee is totally optional, though.

7 ideas to put in a bridesmaid proposal box

1. A candle

Everyone loves a candle, right? And, they’re a really fun way to pop the question. Make them laugh with something from Mischief Candles. Or, pick a handcrafted candle that matches their aesthetic and smells absolutely gorgeous, too.

2. A card

A bridesmaid proposal box wouldn’t be complete without a card. This is your chance to pour your heart out and show your besties just how much they mean to you. And, our small brands have some really incredible designs to help you do just that. Think scratch cards, photo keepsake boxes, and more thoughtful ideas. Maybe add some tissues too just to be on the safe side.

3. Jewellery

Jewellery is a really thoughtful bridesmaid box gift as it’s something they’ll treasure well beyond the big day. Pick a piece of personalised jewellery or go for a classic pair of earrings they can wear at the wedding. If they’re not really a jewellery person, how about one of these dreamy scrunchies instead?

4. Some fizz

Whether it’s alcohol or something softer, nothing says “Will you be my bridesmaid?” like some fancy bubbles. Make it even more special by adding a personal touch – think bespoke stickers or a bag. Because bottles deserve to get dressed up, too.

5. Biscuits

Biscuits are always a good idea. And, they’re an even better idea when they’re beautifully decorated like these ones. Personalise it with their name or go for a joy-filled design made for your ‘I do crew’.

6. Self-care treats

Wedding planning is stressful work for everyone involved (don’t even talk to your Maid of Honour about the hen). So, some pamper treats are guaranteed to go down well. We love the idea of matching eye masks. Get one for yourself, too. You deserve it.

7. Flowers

Flowers are a classic gift for a reason. And, a mini bouquet is such a sweet way to spoil your bridesmaids-to-be. Dried flowers are a great option as they last a lot longer than fresh ones. This is particularly helpful if you’re putting together your DIY bridesmaid boxes in advance as you won’t need to worry about them wilting!
