Anyone not do bridesmaid proposal boxes or similar ideas?

I only had a flower girl and MoH (Man of Honor). I called the parents of the flower girl to ask permission and told them to think it over. After they agreed, I sent my flower girl a book about being a flower girl. For my MoH I called and ask him. Again giving him the chance to think about it. Granted neither party took much time to accept LoL

I sent each of my bridesmaids a card in the mail with a customized puzzle that asked them to be a bridesmaid. I didn't want to do gifts or proposal boxes because I didn't want them to feel pressured to say yes, but since they all live around the country, I figured a puzzle received in the mail would be a fun, non-pressuring way to ask.

I asked my maid of honor over the phone and my two bridesmaids (my sisters) in person. I like proposals, but it just didn't feel necessary for us.

No I did proposals for my bridal party and they all loved them. My husband on the other hand literally sent a text to his groomsmen lol

Privately, in person, with no proposal boxes for 3, and 1 overseas by phone, same.
No robes or shirts, no personalized stuff, just one $100-$150 gift each.

I did not do proposal boxes. It’s definitely an option and not a requirement.

I didn't do proposal boxes nor did my husband. Our bridal party lives nowhere near us so we would've had to shipped everyone's boxes to them on top of the cost of buying the boxes and items to put in them.

I only asked in person and called over the phone for my best friend out of town. It would have been nice to do a little extra but opted out after I saw how expensive they started getting for our budget.


Now with covid and us most likely not spending as much as we thought we would because of a lowered guest count, I wish we would have done it. We will be sure to do a thank you box for the wedding party afterward though!

L wasn’t planning on doing them because it really is an “unnecessary” expense and we’re on a budget. But I’m having a small bridal party, 3 girls who are really close to me so I did end up doing a little box for each of them. I probably didn’t spend more than $30-$40 on everything. I knew they all wanted to be in the bridal party so I didn’t feel like I was putting them on the spot.

I did a box for my MOH, but I didn’t do it in a “proposal” sort of manner. We were living in different states when I got engaged, So I asked her over the phone to be my MOH. Then, the next time I visited her, I brought the box with me. I filled it full of items specific to her likes, along with a mini bottle of champagne. But rather than include a card that said “will you be my MOH/bridesmaid?”, I included the card pictured below 😂 And on the inside I wrote a sweet note about how much her friendship meant to me and how excited I was to have her by my side on my wedding day. She absolutely loved it. She laughed and cried LOL

I texted all my bridesmaids and asked them. They didn’t care they were all super excited and knew I was going to ask them anyways.

I just skipped bridesmaids all together.

I sent texts, but they all knew they would be in the wedding before being asked. So there was no surprise. I wanted to do it. I just didn't I am sending them a Christmas gift, but something really personal.

I did do a proposal for my junior bridesmaid, since she's 12 I knew she would enjoy it being special

I didn't do a box or anything but I did get each of them a Boomf Bomb...I got to pick their favorite colored confetti, 4 pictures and to write a little note on one side. It was super cute watching their reactions. Also inexpensive, I feel like they were like $8. I had 2 of them shipped out of state, one went all the way to the West Coast so I didn't spend much and they'll have the little picture box as a keepsake!

I just asked people, I didn't do anything super special.

Honestly, I had a budget, my friends all live in tiny city apartments, and it's not my style.

I didn’t do it. I’m only having my sister and my best friend as my maid and matron of honor. They knew before I got engaged that they were going to be in the wedding so I didn’t even really have to ask. As for my fiancé he asked his two best friends over the phone. I probably will be getting my sister and my friend jewelry for the wedding and getting ready robes as a “thank you”.

i got a box and a wine tumbler that says maid of honor on it (in total cost $18 don't have to be this big expensive thing) going to ask my fiancé 's cousin on x-mas eve, she's going to think its just a x-mas gift I'm handing her .

Took her out to lunch and a catch up since we live in different countries. Told her about the engagement over burgers and asked her to be the entire bridal party. She bought me a cookie after 😁. I'm also only asking her to pick a nice dress from her wardrobe (unless she wants to buy herself something new).
