Bridesmaid Boxes FAQ
What should I put into a bridesmaid proposal box?
Wondering what to put in a bridesmaid proposal box? Hopefully our edit of gift ideas has given you plenty of inspiration – think keepsake accessories, such as bridesmaid jewellery, tasty treats, pampering products or even gifts they can use for the hen party or wedding day.
“The secret to a truly heartfelt bridesmaid proposal lies in a personal touch – take a moment to reflect on what makes your friendship special and what your bestie would appreciate,” says Team Hen founder Danielle Kendall. “A thoughtful approach demonstrates the effort you’ve put into this momentous moment."
Danielle also recommends starting with a pretty box or bag and a card, then filling it with the following:
- Something to drink – a bottle of fizz (full-size or miniature) will always go down well and means they can toast to the occasion!
- Something to wear – depending on your budget, this could be anything from a stylish personalised robe or piece of jewellery to something as simple (but no less meaningful) than a pair of cosy socks.
- Something to write in – we all know your bridesmaids will need to make notes. A notebook and pen are a really useful gift that she will treasure and use… a lot!
- Something to pamper herself with – think luxurious items that she wouldn’t usually treat herself too. Candles are great, as are sheet masks and bottles of bubble bath.
Do bridesmaid boxes have to be expensive?
Not at all! Reassuring nearlyweds that they don’t have to spend a fortune, Danielle adds: “Often the ‘homemade’ aspects are the most cherished! Craft a charming card or a mini scrapbook that tells the story of your friendship. Infuse it with humour and heartfelt sentiments to make it really stand out.”
When it comes to the other gifts or trinkets present in your bridesmaid boxes, you can find a range of affordable items such as chocolate, sweets and jewellery when you shop around.
Can I DIY a bridesmaid box or should I buy one?
DIY bridesmaid boxes are a great idea because they can be tailored specifically to your friends and the things they love. In some cases, they can be cheaper than a ready-filled version, depending on the items you want to include.
Elsewhere, if you want to save time, you can find plenty of personalised bridesmaid boxes that allow you to build your own or add names or job roles to some of the items inside.
When should I give my bridesmaid proposal box?
There's no right or wrong time to give your bridesmaids their gifts, it all comes down to your preference. Some nearlyweds may prefer to do it straight after they've got engaged, others may do so when they've finalised their wedding plans.
“Consider the location of your maids,” says Danielle. “If they’re all nearby, consider hosting a bridesmaid brunch where you can present them with their boxes. Or plan a laidback lunch or coffee date with them all individually. The chilled approach will take them by surprise and create an even more memorable moment.
“For those who are too far away to meet in person, consider mailing out your bridesmaid proposal boxes to arrive before a specific date. Include a note instructing your friends not to open them until the designated moment arrives. It’s the perfect way to build up excitement!”
