So, your partner popped the big question and now it’s time to celebrate!

This also means you’ll soon ask close friends and family another important inquiry: will you be my bridesmaid? Spreading pre-wedding excitement with your bridal party may include the growingly popular bridesmaid proposal gifts.

Many brides-to-be send their wedding squad gift boxes or baskets stuffed with goodies to commemorate the occasion. Including handcrafted keepsakes in these boxes is the perfect way to create a unique, personalized experience for the people who’ll be helping you keep it together until the big day.

DIY bridesmaid proposal gifts come together quickly and beautifully with a Cricut machine. If you recently got engaged, try crafting these customizable proposal projects.

Must-have DIY bridesmaid proposal gifts

All about the invite

Every bridesmaid basket needs a creative card to announce the occasion. Handcraft yours without sacrificing style or aesthetic. Our Design Space library has a wealth of wedding invitation and “save the date” templates customizable as a bridal party proposal. We recommend jazzing up the standard announcement with small surprises, like a temporary tattoo or sticker.

Coordinating tees

Prep your squad for your special day with coordinated t-shirts. Save this stylish gift for bridal showers and bachelorettes, connecting your closest confidants with festive designs. Try a bold, vintage-inspired statement or add bridal party positions to each tee for a personalized touch. Whatever you decide, our EasyPress heat press tech will ensure your handiwork is seamlessly transferred onto any apparel.

Bridesmaid mugs

Share a little extra love with your bridesmaids by crafting them a commemorative mug. Custom mugs and drinkware make wonderful, long-lasting bridesmaid proposal gifts, and you can repurpose them for wedding seasons to come. Each time your BFFs take a sip of their favorite warm and cozy concoctions, they’ll think of the happy memories you shared.

A take-along tote

Tie your proposal box together with a tasteful tote to hold all the wedding-themed goodies. This is an especially great option for any bride planning a bachelorette trip where traveling bridesmaids may need a chic pool or beachside bag. Craft these matching totes using Infusible Ink sheets, then add a fun keychain or scarf to further embellish your design.
