Now you’ve said ‘yes’, it’s time to ask the important question to your loved ones and gather a bulletproof ‘I do –crew’. In recent years there’s been a real trend for unique wedding party proposals, making your bridesmaids, best man, flower girls and page boys feel extra special from the get go. Your friends and family will be giving up their time and effort to help you plan your big day so thank them right from the start with a thoughtful and memorable proposal. We’ve rounded up some of our favourite wedding party proposal ideas to give you some inspiration:

Proposal Boxes

Personalised gift boxes are an easy but memorable way to propose to your bridal party and the beauty of it is they can be uniquely personalised. All you need is a pretty box and fill it with all the things you know they’ll love. Their favourite tipple, perfume, a photograph of you both together and of course a thoughtful note that explains why you want them by your side on your big day.

Personalised Drinks

If you know your best man has a favourite drink then when why not surprise him with a personalised bottle that will live in his drinks’ cabinet as a keepsake for years to come. If you’re lucky, he might even share it with you. Keep your message short and sweet so it stands out on the label and make sure to triple check the spelling, you don’t want any typo disasters.

Scratch-off Card

Scratch-off cards are not only a fun and playful way to ask your loved ones to stand by your side, but also a great idea if they live far away. You can order customised scratch-off cards online and post them to your friends and family who you hope to have standing on your side on your wedding day.

A Special Day Out

Rather than a physical gift, organising some special time together for your chosen bridal party is great way to make them feel special. Organise a day of golf with personalised “Tee up Groomsman” balls, or afternoon tea with special themed cakes. You could hold a wine night at home and at the end of the evening pop the question for maximum effect. You could even ask a baker to create a bespoke cake with a proposal message.

Gems for your Gems

Who doesn’t love a bit of bling? A more traditional, but still extra special way to propose to your bridesmaids, is with a piece of matching jewellery, chosen by you. Make it a special piece they can wear on your big day and even better if you can match along with them. A beautiful necklace or bracelet will not only look fabulous on your wedding day but will also be a beautiful memory to last forever.
