Coffee Cup
If anything is a wedding planning (and morning of the wedding) essential, it’s coffee. Lots and lots of coffee!

When we were young, we hoped of someday finding a message in a bottle from an island castaway or a marooned pirate. Bring back that childhood fun by sending a message in a bottle to ask your bridesmaids to join your wedding party! Whether your wedding will be taking place on a tropical island or not, these sweet little keepsakes will surely bring back fun memories for your bridesmaids in years to come.
Jewelry
The world of knot-themed jewelry is surprisingly vast, but that definitely works in your favor when it comes to bridesmaid proposals! These beautiful knot-inspired earrings are a precious way to ask your friends to be by your side when you tie the knot. Keep in mind that all of your bridesmaids may not have pierced ears, so unless you are sure, it can be a safer option to go with a necklace or bracelet.
Photo Frame
Weddings, and the road leading up to them, are filled with memory making! From trips to wedding gown boutiques to the bachelorette bash, you’ll soon be adding to the already long list of treasured memories you have with your best girls, so what better way to ask them to join you on that journey than with a customized picture frame? For an added touch, send it with the oldest picture of the two of you that you can find, and after the wedding give them a photo from the wedding day to replace it with.
Spa Treats
Who doesn’t love to be pampered now and then? Show your bridesmaids how much they mean to you by sending them a box of spa goodies to ask them to join the wedding party! Customizable soaps, candles, bath salts and lotions are a lavish and fragrant way to treat the ladies who will stand by your side the day you say I do. Etsy has some fun options and BoxFox is great, too!
Balloons
If you’re looking for surprises, noise and laughter, this is definitely the option for you! Of all the things your best friends might expect when they open a box, a balloon that says, “Pop Me!” might not be high on their list. But watch their confusion turn to glee as they pop the balloon and, under a rain of confetti, find a note asking them to be your bridesmaid!
For a bride on her wedding day, the friends standing next to her can be just as important as the one to whom she is saying, “I do.” Celebrate your bridesmaids-to-be by making memories that will last a lifetime from the moment they join your bride tribe and beyond.
