Planning a wedding brings with it a whole heap of decisions. There's the date, the venue, the dress, the number of guests, the cake, the flowers . . . it's endless! One of the most important decisions, however, is the choice of bridesmaids. And, for that matter, the best man.
Not so much because you want the right people for the job, but because you don't want to hurt anybody's feelings!
All joking aside, bridesmaids are a key part of the wedding proceedings. And being a bridesmaid is quite a commitment, in terms of time - and probably patience! No surprise then, that The Bridesmaid Proposal is almost as important as THE proposal.
Huge in the US - and becoming increasingly popular here - the Bridesmaid Proposal refers to the way in which you ask the chosen to be your bridesmaids. Rather than simply blurting it out after too many cocktails, brides-to-be are making it into a proper ceremony.
Here's How It Works
First decide how many bridesmaids you want. Traditionally, this was based on the number of guests but that can be unrealistic these days. Who needs 12 bridesmaids?
Better to base your decision on the size of the wedding (and number of guests), your budget, and how much space there will be for key players (bride, groom, bride giver, best man, and bridesmaids).
Having decided the number, make your choice. As well as basing this on love and friendship, also consider practical issues. For example, is it logistically possible for this person to be at your wedding, never mind being on-call for pre-wedding duties? Are they reliable? Do they have too many other commitments?
Popping The Question
Having finalised the names, decide on their responsibilities and your expectations, so that everyone will be clear. And be realistic - people have busy lives these days.
Now comes the proposal! Choose a venue, even your own home, and organise something really special. Send out proper invitations, arrange food and drink, maybe even entertainment or games.
When everyone is gathered, it's time to pop the question! To make it really special, why not combine this with a gift? You could even pop an individual note into each gift box.
Chic and Versatile
The choice of gift is crucial. It should be something of quality, to signify how special your bridesmaids are to you. Ideally, everybody gets the same thing. However, you can still make it 'different' by personalising it - with a monogram.
So how about the Miss London Pouch from Miss Monogram? Chic and versatile, this is the perfect clutch to use on the day, and beyond. Made from gorgeous Saffiano leather, and monogrammed in gold, it comes in a stunning range of colours, including Lavender, Turquoise, Vanilla Creme, Valentine Red, and Sassy Silver.
Choose the colour(s) to match the bridesmaids' dresses, and place your proposal inside - perfect!
