    Ask them each privately and in person? This is a good time to realize that you don't have to waste money on every idea you see on Pinterest.

    I got cute little boxes from Michael's and put a few pretty things in them. It was nice, they appreciated it, & it didn't cost much. Inside I had a nail polish, a candle, a photo of us, lipstick, & a compact mirror.

    I think it's a little much personally. I feel it is a waste of money to do them. Just go ask them personally. I actually asked my moh on her birthday and she told my that was the best gift ever. I do not have any clue where to get them. Check Pinterest and make it on your own. I think that may be the cheapest way to do it.

    I filled these with a few Knick knacks and gave them to my BMs to be for Christmas. It was great! Definitely a know your crowd thing, but I think it’s a fun touch

    Hi!
    We “proposed” to our wedding party in Christmas Eve! We meet at locks restaurant for lunch where we gave the groomsmen and bridesmaids their gifts! I was able to catch some photo boxes in sale at hobby lobby for about 2.00 each. I included a champagne flute with each bridesmaids name, a mini bottle of champagne, a bath bomb from bath and body works and a few chocolate kisses! My fiancé gave the guys flavored cigars!

    I was against it, always thought of it as a waste of money - but abuse verbally asking my MOH (she’s my FSIL) she made comments that made me believe she wishes I had “officially proposed”. It seems to be important for her - although she already accepted and has been such great help with everything (and I don’t ever needed to ask her for help) - anyways, upon realizing her desire for the “proposal” I put together a box (from Hobby Lobby) with a candle, a cute tee ( I had already purchased for her months ago), a bracelet (her initial on it, on sale for $5) and a very heartfelt note. I’ll be handing out to her next month, I didn’t want to bring any wedding talk during the holidays, we don’t like to make gatherings and holidays about ourselves.

    I would strongly recommend against formal "proposals" to your wedding party. The bigger the deal you make out of asking, the higher the chance someone will say yes even though they'd prefer not to. And then you'll be back here wondering why your BMs aren't buying their dresses on time, are sniping at each other, etc.

    I got cheap 2 sided frames off Amazon and put an old picture of the two of us on one side and a note on the other side. In the Thank You note after the wedding I will include a picture from the wedding to go in the other side. I only have a MOH, 1 BM, and 2 Jr BMs though and found sale on the frames. I will probably use them for thank you presents to the parents too (baby picture on one side and wedding picture on the other)

    Doing over the top proposals aren’t necessary, and they can often be a waste of money thanks to comparison of Pinterest. I did give each of mine a card with a picture referring to memories we share and note asking to be by my side... and for my MOH I gave her some flowers and cinnamon rolls 😂 I definitely didn’t do the same thing for each person because I wanted it to be more meaningful for each one.

    Hi Leidy! I just did my first few bridesmaid proposals on Christmas Eve and did proposal boxes as well. I purchased these boxes for $1.50 at Hobby Lobby and bought some tulle ribbon and gift tags to spruce them up. I had so much fun putting these together! The rest of the items I purchased from Etsy/Bath & Body Works. I hope this helps Smiley smile

    I just asked my first girl, my sister! I used a photo box from Michaels for hers since it had to be mailed but I’m just using gift bags from target for the other ones since I’ll be giving it to them in person and the bags were way cheaper. They’re all big coffee drinkers and I’m not, so it was really fun to pick them each out a mug that reminded me of them (none of the mugs are wedding related). I also included fuzzy socks, Starbucks peppermint hot chocolate, mini bath bombs, and personalized a note that I wrote them asking them to be my bridesmaid/MOH. I spent about $60 total on four of these. I bought things on sale and didn’t purchase everything all at once. I wanted to give them each a little gift but I wanted to make it really affordable and I think I accomplished that!

    I got cards from Hobby Lobby and asked them all in stickers. Also got perfume when it was on sale and some hair ties from Etsy that say I couldn't tie the know without you.

    Hobby Lobby/Michaels they were 50% off plus they always have a 40% coupon on top. They were listed as picture boxes. I filled them with paper shreds and put the items on top. I had a box, included a small mini bottle of wine, a small hand mirror, a notebook, a card, makeup bag, ring pop. I think thats it. I wanted to include chapstick but i didn't want to stuff it too much. these weren't over the top. Less than $10 for everything in the box. I will say i asked my girls individually first, then did a brunch and presented the boxes. It was nice to get together.

    I purchased stuff at Michaels, it was 40% off with the coupon. I also filled it with stuff I got on Black Friday at Ulta. The girls loved them! It ended up being $50 to make all 7 boxes
