A wooden keepsake box for a rustic touch
A sleek gift box with a magnetic closure for a modern feel
A personalized acrylic box for a chic look
A decorative basket for a cozy, homey vibe
Enhance the box with a ribbon, personalized name tag, or even a handwritten note on the lid.

The contents should reflect your personality and appreciation for your bridal party. Consider including:
Personalized Card or Letter: A heartfelt note expressing why you want them by your side.
Mini Champagne or Wine Bottle: A celebratory drink to toast the occasion.
Customized Jewelry: A bracelet, necklace, or pair of earrings with their initials.
Candle or Bath Bomb: A relaxation treat for some pre-wedding self-care.
Sweet Treats: Macarons, chocolates, or a favorite snack.
Bridesmaid Proposal Item: A “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” or “Maid of Honor?” card or engraved item.
3. Extra Personalized Touches
Make the box even more special with:
Matching Silk Robes or Pajamas for a stylish getting-ready look.
A Mini Photo Album filled with memories of your friendship.
A Small Planner or Notebook to help them stay organized.
Customized Tumblers or Mugs with their names or roles in the wedding.
4. Theme Ideas for Your Proposal Box
Want to tie your proposal box into your wedding theme? Here are some fun ideas:
Rustic Chic: Wooden box, dried flowers, linen accessories.
