Some fun bridesmaid proposal ideas:
- Get everyone together for brunch, and pop the question with a cute “Will you be my bridesmaid” card at everyone’s place setting.
- Head out for pedicures on a Saturday morning, ask the salon if you can bring in some champagne to toast your ladies.
- Host a co-ed bbq at your place with the entire wedding party from BOTH sides.
- And if making a big group outing isn’t in the cards because of people scattered in other cities, scheduling or what not, making a private ask of everyone individually is perfectly fine too.

Amazon is SO EASY for shopping anytime, anywhere. I also LOVE stores like TJ Maxx & Marshals for their beauty products, stationary, candles, & picture frames.
You can easily put these boxes together for less than $10 each, and go from there depending on your budget.
A box filled with a small bottle of champagne, nail polish, and a face mask can total as little as $15 – $20 each.
