What is a Bridesmaid invitation?

A bridesmaid proposal is a unique way to ask your close friends or relatives to be part of your bridal party on your wedding day. This is a relatively new trend, with usually a small gift or a card to share expressing your appreciation and excitement for them as an important part of your life.

Set up a Coffee Date

Organize a coffee date with your girl gang at your favorite hangout spot. Bring a personalized mug or ask the barista to write the question instead of your friend’s name on the cup. Make sure your girls read the question before they mix the coffee, and it drains in.

Meet for Afternoon Tea

An afternoon tea party can be perfect for your girl gang and to ask the question. Ask your team to twin with floral print dresses. Along with the question, add some scones with clotted cream, cucumber sandwiches, and petit fours, for your crew. The best part of the Tea party should come with champagne!

Send a Scratch-off Card.

Make your bridesmaid proposal a fun game. Create a custom card with a portion that scratches off with a penny in the envelope for scratching. Under the scratch-off part, your friends will find a message asking them whether they will be your bridesmaid or not.

Wildflower Tote Bag

One of our top picks is the Wildflower Tote Bag. Totes are back in fashion, and what better way to propose to your bridal party than with a stylish and practical gift? Decorate the canvas bag with colorful wildflowers and personalize it with your crew's name or wedding titles. It's a gift that can be used long after the wedding, whether it's for the bachelorette party or a weekend getaway.

Bridesmaids Handmade Candle

Handmade candles are perfect for popping the question, “Will you be my Bridesmaid?” on the label. The label defines the title of “bridesmaid” as a “Partner in Crime, dream supporter, secrets keeper, and more.” Candles can come in a variety of scents, such as Champagne Toast, which adds floral notes of lily, jasmine, and green leaves. Moreover, you can also add a specific label for your maid of honor.

Scented Bath Bomb

Scented bath bombs are another affordable and adorably packaged pampering pick. Pair your lounge robe or pajamas with some scented bath bombs. Packed the bombs with the words “Beautiful bridesmaid” on the tag and released aromatic rose petals and moisturizing essential oils when popped in water.

Personalized Pull-Out Photo Album

Create a cute, customized, and personalized pull-out photo album that includes a secret message hidden in the bottom of the box. Attach a reel of artfully selected photos of you both. Get your proposal intentions across loud and clear. It is perfect to fit in a bag or a pocket.
