Bridesmaids proposals

Claire, 9 November, 2022 at 21:02 Posted on Etiquette and Advice 0 10
Hello!
I’m having 10 bridesmaids and 4 flower girls, yes I know, CRAZY!! I wanted to do some beautiful proposals but when I priced it up I was spending over £100 before I even filled up the boxes!
Could anyone give me any nice ideas to ask them on a budget? I don’t really want to go spending over £200 on proposals, especially when the budget just keep growing ! Most of them do already know they are bridesmaids, I just think it’s a nice touch.
Thank you !

    I ordered scratch cards off etsy! They were really cute and came with a little heart for them to scratch off. Bought 5 and they cost me like £16 x

    On Etsy I bought 4 acrylic cupcake toppers, they were personalized for £4.50 for 2. I’m buying cakes from my local bakery which will be about £10, that’s 2 cupcakes each. I got boxes from a cake website that were £10 for a pack of 10. They’re clear with a gold bottom that fit 2 cupcakes in each and they’ll be able to read it before they open it as the boxes are clear and will be presented nicely. A little keepsake and something to enjoy.

    You could buy nice balloons and put confetti and the message inside and then ask them to pop the balloon

    You can bulk buy will you be my bridesmaid cards. Then add a small bottle of wine/Prosecco/chocolates.

    Why not do a greetings message on a free app? Would the money be best spent for the wedding day?

    Thank you all for your lovely ideas 🥰
    I’ve ended up going for cards with a photo and nice poem inside and then a mini bottle of fizz with a sticker on saying bridesmaid / Moh ! For my 2 nieces who are too young for the alcohol I picked them up some little compact mirrors with their initials on🤍
    Who knew it would be so stressful😂 I’m planning on handing them out around Christmas 😀 x

    I made boxes myself, I have 3 bridesmaids, a flower girl and a page boy, so 5 boxes in total. I ended up buying square cake boxes off Amazon. I already had the straw stuff to pad out the bottom of each box. Loads of stuff cheap on Shein, but just give yourself 3 weeks or so for it all to arrive as it can take a while. In each of the Bmaid boxes I put a face mask, a keyring (from Shein) that had different words on it, a mini bottle of prosecco, a lipstick and a mini makeup fixing spray. I also made little glass bottles that had a tiny photo strip of me and them on it and on the back it said "Will you be my Bridesmaid?"... a nice little keepsake that they could hang on their Xmas tree! I obviously altered the contents for the flower girl and page boy but still did the glass bottle for them too. I then used a glue gun to create a fancy ribbon bow and a flower on top of the box. They looked gorgeous and my Bridesmaids were very happy with them!

    Loads of ideas on Pinterest - saw someone get a balloon that had a photo of her and her friend inside with confetti and it said will you be my bridesmaid written on the balloon.
    Hope this helps!!
