So, without further ado, let's take a look at some of the top proposal gift ideas for bridesmaids as well as need-to-know etiquette.
When should you send a bridesmaid proposal?
One of the most important things to consider when sending a bridesmaid proposal is timing. You'll want to make sure you give your potential bridesmaid plenty of time to accept or decline the offer. That being said, we recommend sending out your proposals at least six weeks before your wedding date. This will give her plenty of time to make any necessary arrangements and ensure that she's able to be a part of your big day.
How much should you spend on bridesmaid proposal gifts?
When it comes to how much you should spend on bridesmaid proposal gifts, there's no set rule. However, we recommend going with something that is both thoughtful and meaningful. After all, this is a special occasion and you want to show your bridesmaid just how much you appreciate her willingness to stand by your side.
Start with the amount of money you have set aside for your wedding. You should spend what you can, but consider how meaningful the gift is that matters. If you're on a tight budget, don't worry. You can always find thoughtful and unique gifts that won't break the bank. Our advice is to set a budget for bridal party gifts early in the planning to help you keep on track and be sure there's enough wiggle room in the budget to comfortably treat your squad.
