Choosing Bridesmaid Gifts They’ll Actually Use
Bridesmaid gifts and proposal boxes are all the rage in the 2023 wedding scene, and for good reason: this sweet concept can help you make your bridesmaids and maid of honor feel extra special. After all, your wedding is about celebrating your new phase of life with all the people you love and care about. Bridesmaid and maid of honor gifts are another way to honor the special place your closest relationships hold in your heart.
Why Give Bridesmaids gifts?
The pandemic changed the way modern brides think about their special day, favoring smaller celebrations with their closest loved ones over the extravagant bashes that had become so popular. It’s no coincidence that bridesmaid proposals and gifts have just recently exploded in popularity as well.
Now more than ever, we value our closest friends and family. Asking a friend to be a bridesmaid or maid of honor is a significant moment, so what better way to commemorate it than by giving them something to remember this moment by?
How to do it
Bridesmaid proposal boxes are becoming a popular way to ask your loved one to be in your bridal party. Rather than simply asking your friend this special question, you can present them with a curated gift box full of things they’ll love and can use for the wedding festivities.
To create a box, you can enlist special services that will curate a box for you, or you can buy a pre-made one on sites like Etsy. But to truly get the most impact, choose the presents and create the box yourself to personalize it for your bridal party.
