You said yes! After celebrating your happy engagement, it’s now your turn to pop the question: “will you be my bridesmaid?”
But how do you ask this big question? You want your future bridesmaids to know just how special they are, so you’ll want the proposal to reflect that. Below are six ideas to get you inspired for the best-personalized bridesmaid’s gifts.
Gift ideas include:
- Personalized Tumbler
- Custom engraved Jewelry box
- Engraved Cutting Board
- Personalized gift set
- Laser etched glassware
- Fun personalized shot glasses
Ask it with a Personalized Tumbler
Have trouble with words? Then make the gift ask for you! Get your future bridesmaid her very own tumbler engraved with “Will you be my bridesmaid?”
She’ll be sure to say yes once she sees the thoughtful gift! You can even add her name to it to make it extra personal. For bonus points, get it in a color that will match your wedding decor. That way your bridesmaids can bring their tumblers with them on the big day and they’ll fit right in at the head table. Plus, you’ll want them there for the photo ops!
Bonus points: Have her favorite bottle of liquor or wine ready to go with the tumbler so you can both celebrate right away!
Give Something Classic
If you’re looking for a super classy bridesmaid proposal gift, then get her something more traditional like a jewelry box. This can be custom engraved with her name for a personal touch and to make it a keepsake she’ll cherish for years to come. Fill the jewelry box with a card that says “will you be my bridesmaid?”
Bonus points: Add some jewelry for her to wear on your big day!
Make a Recipe
Want a fun and unique way to ask her to be your bridesmaid? Why not turn it into a recipe card? You can make up any recipe you want by adding things like: 1 fabulous, ultra-flattering dress; 2 pairs of shoes (save 1 for dancing); 1,527 bobby pins. You’ll also want to make sure to add the endless memories the two of you share together.
Bonus points: Tape the adorable recipe card to her very own custom cutting board. Then you two can even share a meal together (or just go out to eat – at least the thought is there).
Make a Gift Set
Your bridesmaid-to-be deserves her very own custom gift set. You can add her name for personalization and choose something you know she’d enjoy. Set a time to meet and give her the gift as you pop the question. She’ll love the gesture and will give a delighted “absolutely!” After all, who wouldn’t want to spend the big day with you?
Bonus points: Get an extra special gift set for your most important bridesmaid, the maid of honor!
Pop The Question
Get a bottle of champagne and have your friend come over. Ask the question and when she says yes, pop open the bottle! It’ll be a perfect way to celebrate and you can even have custom champagne flutes ready to drink from.
This option also works really well in a group setting – you just might need more than one bottle of champagne, depending on how many bridesmaids you have. Or get mini bottles of champagne for each one (and a big bottle for you maid of honor, of course)! This also works with sparkling juice for those choosing not to drink.
Bonus points: Give her the leftover champagne (if there is any) along with her own custom bottle stopper.
Ask in a Group
Are you looking for a way to ask all of your future bridesmaids the big question all at once? Then schedule a time to get everyone together. You can make it a surprise or let them know ahead of time that there will be others joining. Pick a fun location like the beach or even your backyard so you can continue to hang out afterward.
Bonus points: This is where custom shot glasses come in! Get each bridesmaid a mini bottle of their favorite liquor and line it up next to their personalized shot glasses. Once you’ve popped the question and they’ve all said yes, you can cheer together. Be sure to have a camera ready – you’ll definitely want photos of this!
Final Thoughts
So how are you going to propose? No matter what route you decide to take, your future bridesmaids will just be excited to be asked! You’ll want to get everyone together at some point so they can meet and start to make connections. Having your favorite people by your side on your big day will be one of the best parts of your wedding.
