One of the special milestones in your wedding planning journey is the opportunity you will have to ask your closest friends and family to be a part of your bridal party. Making this “proposal” memorable and unique adds an extra layer of joy in the time leading up to the big day, and your ladies will love it!
At Bella Vie, we LOVE personalizing bridal party gifts! The list below is just a small sample of what we can do, so be sure to talk to us about whatever you want and visit the Bella Boutique for some extra inspiration.
So, pour yourself a glass of wine and let’s take a look at some of the ways you can “propose” to your best girls!
Customized Gift Boxes
Gift your bridal party candidates with personalized boxes filled with goodies (or let us do it for you)! Include items like a small piece of jewelry, a coffee tumbler, a makeup bag, whatever you want!
Tip: Consider choosing items that will be useful and appreciated even beyond your wedding day.
Scavenger Hunt
Organize a scavenger hunt for your friends (or let us do it for you)! Each location can hold a clue leading them to the next spot, with the final destination being a heartfelt proposal.
Tip: This is a great way to propose to your Maid of Honor! Especially if you choose locations that have meaning in your friendship.
Message in a Bottle
Design a custom message in a bottle for each of your ladies (or let us do it for you)! Keep it simple or include a personal note about why you value their friendship and want them by your side.
Tip: Make sure you tie the paper scroll so it doesn’t get stuck in the bottle!
Custom Wine Labels
Create custom labels asking your friends to be in your bridal party (or let us do it for you)! Choose your favorite wine, champagne or sparkling cider and design a label that reflects the theme or style of your wedding.
Tip: They don’t all have to be the same. Consider giving each girl a bottle of their favorite libation for an extra-personal touch.
Personalized Puzzles
Make a personalized puzzle for each of your friends (or let us do it for you)! As they put the pieces together, the image will reveal your proposal, making for a fun and interactive way to ask them to stand with you at the altar.
Tip: Consider using a photo of you and each girl in their puzzle design. (We can help with that, too!)
Bridal Brunch
Host a brunch and set a card at each place setting “proposing” to your bridesmaids-to-be. Surrounded by good food, good drinks and good company, how could they say no?
Tip: Set up a mimosa bar with customized champagne flutes (or let us do it for you)!
Customized Apparel
Order custom apparel, such as personalized bathrobes, asking your friends to be in your bridal party. This practical yet thoughtful gift can be a constant reminder of the special role they will play in your wedding.
Tip: Consider customizing with a tag or hanger (or let us do it for you) so the clothing item is more likely to be worn after your wedding day.
Whichever way you choose to ask your favorite ladies to stand by your side, they are going to love the thought and effort you put in to making them feel special and included. Don’t worry so much about coming up with the “perfect” idea. Whatever you do is going to be appreciated!
Remember, the Bella Vie Team is here for you for every need you have, including those you haven’t thought of yet!
Helping you come up with the perfect way to propose to your bridal party is just one of the many things we can do for you.
