Fun and Meaningful Ways to Ask
Once you’ve chosen your wedding party, thinking about how to ask them can be one of the most enjoyable planning moments. Some couples love to go all out with creative proposals, while others prefer something simple and heartfelt. There’s no right way to do it, just however feels right for you.
Proposal boxes are a popular choice because they allow you to curate a little moment of excitement. A beautifully presented box filled with thoughtful items – perhaps a miniature bottle of prosecco, a candle, a sweet treat or something personalised – creates a lovely keepsake and feels incredibly special. These don’t need to be expensive to have an impact either, even a handwritten note tucked inside can mean the world.
If you prefer something a little less traditional, there are plenty of playful alternatives. Scratch cards/puzzles that uncover the question once completed, or even a short video message can all add an element of surprise. Long-distance friendships can be celebrated with a parcel delivered to their door, while those close by might enjoy a shared moment over coffee, brunch or a cocktail evening where the question is revealed in a fun, unexpected way.
Food and drink-themed proposals are also a charming option. Personalised biscuits, cupcakes with hidden messages or custom wine or gin labels always go down well and make the moment feel joyful. Whether sentimental or silly, creative or simple, what matters most is that the proposal reflects your relationship with each person.
