Asking your best girls to stand by your side on your wedding day is such a special moment. A little proposal box is a lovely way to make it feel even more meaningful. It does not need to be expensive or over the top. Just a few thoughtful bits that show how much they mean to you and give them a little taste of what is to come.

If you are wondering what to include, here is a list of simple and sweet ideas that can make your bridesmaid proposal feel extra special.

A Mini Bottle of Bubbly or Their Favourite Drink

You can never go wrong with a little celebration in a bottle. Whether it is a mini prosecco, their favourite gin or something non alcoholic, it is a lovely way to say let’s raise a glass to the big day ahead.

A Cute Scrunchie or Hair Tie

Something soft and practical that they can wear for the hen party, the morning of the wedding or just every day. It is a small touch that adds a pop of colour and personality to the box.

A Candle

Go for a calming scent or something fresh and floral. A mini candle feels cosy and thoughtful and adds a little bit of relaxation to the moment.

A Nail Polish in Your Wedding Colour Palette

This is such a fun way to share a hint of your theme. You can even write a little tag that says something like try this for the big day. It is a cute detail that helps them feel included in the vision.

A Personalised Glass to Use on the Morning of the Wedding

Whether it is a champagne flute or a tumbler with their name on it, this is a keepsake they can actually use. It also makes for beautiful matching photos while you are all getting ready together.

A Small Piece of Jewellery They Can Wear on the Day

This could be a bracelet, a pair of earrings or a simple necklace that fits the vibe of your wedding. It is a lovely way to tie their look together and say thank you at the same time.

Personalised PJs to Wear While Getting Ready

There is something so nice about matching pyjamas on the wedding morning. Choose something soft and pretty that they will feel good in. Add their name or initials for that extra special touch.

A Face Mask or Mini Skincare Treat for a Pamper Night

Give them a little excuse to relax with a face mask, a mini cleanser or a tiny pot of moisturiser. A quiet evening of pampering is never a bad idea, especially in the lead up to the wedding.

A Sweet Treat Like Chocolate, Cookies or Candy

Something tasty always goes down well. Choose their favourite treat or pop in something themed to your colours or style. You can even get custom wrappers for an extra special detail.

A Compact Mirror or Travel Sized Beauty Item

Perfect for handbags or wedding day clutches. A mini mirror, lip balm or hand cream is a sweet way to say I thought of everything and it will definitely come in handy on the day.

Do Not Forget a Beautiful Card

Every box needs a thoughtful card. This is your chance to write something personal and heartfelt. Tell them why you want them by your side, thank them for their support, and share a bit of the excitement you are feeling.

You can keep it simple with a will you be my bridesmaid message, or go for a folded card with space to write a proper note.

We have a whole collection of bridesmaid proposal cards in our Etsy shop, along with printed details cards that list out what is inside each box. These make everything feel more polished and are perfect for tying your box together. Each one can be personalised to suit your theme and colours.
