Bridesmaids proposals?

If you're planning on doing it around Christmas I seen some baubles on etsy with "will you be my bridesmaid" printed on them, you could pass it off as a Christmas present initially when you hand them it

View quoted message Yesss I have seen these on Etsy and really liked the idea. But I didn’t know if it would be weird as we’re having a summer wedding x

View quoted message Nah I think it would be OK! I was debating doing it too and our wedding is April (2025). Only way it would be weird is if you gave them a bauble at any time of year other than Christmas 😅
I just googled "alternative bridesmaid proposals" and there's a few more ideas there!

Could you meet up for coffee or lunch somewhere and ask the waiter to deliver your request with the food? Or if you're going on holiday/a day trip fairly soon, buy them a souvenir bag of fudge or box of biscuits and put a card inside, so they don't realise it's more than a holiday memento until they've opened it?

I’ve got my bridesmaids a scratch card for them to scratch to reveal the “will you be my bridesmaid” question. You can find lots of different ones on Etsy or Not on the Highstreet.


I like the bauble idea! Might get mine one of those too!

I love the bauble idea!! I'm asking my MOH on Xmas day, specifically because we never buy eachother gifts so she won't be assuming straight away. I've done the usual box of goodies because i couldnt think what to do, to get it done in time i've been too excited haha.

I was asked once with a balloon, to pop it and inside were letters asking me, could be an option if around a birthday?

View quoted message I went to ask but one of my closest friends announced her pregnancy to us on the evening so felt like I didn’t want to interlude that as it was her moment and obvs so much more important!


Will try again another time 😂🤣

One of my friends did a full on actual proposal to me in a packed pub, but in the ring box was a note saying “will you be my bridesmaid” - it was hilarious because everyone witnessing it thought we’d just got engaged to each other and the pub sent over a bottle of Prosecco to celebrate 🥳😂

I sent each of my bridesmaids a card in the post - each card had a huge long letter in them about what a good friend they are and how much I valued them, ending with asking them to be my bridesmaid.

It went down really well because hardly anyone gets cards in the post anymore, so they all opened them like "what's this?" and then it was fun getting phonecalls from each of them as the cards arrived

I created glitter bottles(followed a YouTube tutorial )and then ordered some scratch off stickers with the question underneath on Etsy they loved them! I got them a wine stopper too so they can drink the wine and keep the bottle 🥰 xxx
