POPPING THE QUESTION TO YOUR “I DO” CREW

1. CURATE A FEW OF HER FAVORITE THINGS

Choose a cute gift box or tote and fill it with some of her favorite treats. Maybe it’s travel-size versions of her beauty staples, sweet and salty snacks, accessories, sweet stationery or itty-bitty bottles of bubbly to mark the occasion. Include a heartfelt handwritten note and deliver in person for best results.

2. HONOR HER SIGNATURE STYLE

Delicate jewelry is a timeless gift, so consider looking to her birthstone or favorite precious metal for a bespoke piece she’ll hold onto forever. Popping the question with personalized nameplate necklaces could be the perfect token of your friendship, but dainty rings, watches or charms can have an equally big impact.

3. SAY IT WITH A BOUQUET

Surprise her at home or work with a flower delivery. It’ll make her day and put a smile on her face. Ask her in the accompanying card and await a thrilled “yes!” Top tip: If you’re already daydreaming about colors and flowers for the big day, this is the perfect time to give your girls a sneak preview!

4. GET THE WHOLE GROUP TOGETHER

Group experiences boost the bonding factor and bring everyone closer as your wedding festivities approach. Treat your crew to a dance class, cooking class, wine tasting, yoga lesson or something completely unexpected. Once everyone arrives, reveal that you’d love for each of them to be part of your wedding party.

5. PROPOSE DURING A DAY OF PAMPERING

A relaxing massage? Morning manis and pedis? Pre-party blowouts? Winding down or getting dolled up together is the perfect time to ask her to stand beside you on your big day. Treat her to a beauty treatment and enjoy an unforgettable girls’ day out that undoubtedly ends in an “I do.”

6. DELIVER THE BIG NEWS OVER HIGH TEA

Whether it’s a one-on-one date or a group outing, high tea gives you the perfect excuse to slip into your sweetest floral dresses and sip with your pinkies up. With those pretty confections and adorable sandwiches, the moment will be begging to be shared on social. Pop the question and then pop some bubbly for a toast!

7. BE THE HOSTESS WITH THE MIMOSAS

Make your next Sunday Funday a little bit extra special with a boozy brunch at your place. Set up the mimosa bar and kick back with the girls. There are countless ways to pose the question: balloon pops, special glasses or even secret messages under their plates. Have plenty of games or movie options ready to go and let the good times roll.
