Personalised gifts

There are many ways to propose to your bridesmaids with personalised gifts. Here are some ideas for gifts that can be personalised:

Bags

A tote bag, clutch bag, or makeup bag with their name or initials on it is a cute and practical gift. You could even fill it with other goodies for your bridesmaids!

Clothing

A custom t-shirt, pyjamas, or a robe with their role in the wedding party or their initials is a fun way to propose. These items are also great for getting ready on the morning of the wedding and will look cute in photos.

Accessories

A compact mirror, sunglasses, or a jewellery case are all useful gifts that can be personalised. You could also get them a piece of jewellery, like a necklace or bracelet, with their birthstone or the wedding date engraved.

Homeware

For a more unique gift, you could get your bridesmaids a custom plant pot, a candle, or even a puzzle with a hidden message. A silk sleep mask or a pair of slippers are also great options for a cosy gift.

Food and Drink

You could also propose with edible treats, like cookies, chocolate, or a bottle of wine with a personalised label. For a non-alcoholic option, you could give them a personalised tumbler or mug with some tea or coffee.

Games and puzzles

Customized Puzzles

Add a unique twist to your proposal by creating custom-made puzzles that pop the question, "Will you be my bridesmaid?". These puzzles can be designed with vibrant floral elements and elegant colour schemes, striking the perfect balance between fun and style. You can even include your bridesmaids' names and their special roles in your wedding. It's a delightful way to surprise your friends and add a memorable touch to your proposal.

Proposal Boxes

Instead of just one item, why not create a whole box of bridesmaid goodies? These boxes can be filled with a variety of gifts, such as personalized candles, compact mirrors, tumblers, or even a bottle of their favourite wine with a custom label. You can also include items like silk sleep masks, makeup bags, or jewellery cases, especially if you're planning a destination wedding. Don't forget to add a thoughtful note or card to express your gratitude and excitement for their participation in your special day.

Fun Games

Organize a game night or a DIY spa day with your potential bridesmaids and use this opportunity to pop the question. You can incorporate games or activities that involve putting together puzzles, scavenger hunts with clues, or even a simple game of truth or dare. During the event, surprise them with customized t-shirts, pyjamas, or denim jackets that say "bridesmaid" or include a fun bridal party phrase. This approach will not only make your proposal memorable but also create a fun bonding experience for your entire bridal crew.

Matching Accessories

Proposing with matching accessories is a cute way to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids. Consider gifting them customized jewellery, such as dainty gold and pearl necklaces, constellation signet rings, or adjustable tie bracelets with a fun bridal message. You can also opt for practical items like embroidered bathrobes, trendy passport holders, or silk eye masks, which they can use during the wedding preparations and beyond. These matching accessories will not only excite your bridesmaids but also unite your crew with a sense of style and camaraderie.
