\"Bridesmaid<\/p>\n

As a bride, your bridesmaids and <\/span>maid of honor<\/span> are often your biggest cheerleaders leading up to the big moment and on the <\/span>wedding day<\/span> itself. So it\u2019s only fitting to find a way to ask them to be part of your <\/span>wedding day<\/span> in a fun, heartwarming way. That\u2019s where <\/span>bridesmaid proposal cards<\/span> come in.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Consider this your go-to guide for bridesmaid proposal cards. We\u2019ll talk about what they are and when to send them, plus share some fun themes and ideas on how to actually pop the question.<\/span>
\n<\/p>\n

What Is a <\/b>Bridesmaid Proposal Card<\/b>?<\/b><\/h2>\n

\"Bridesmaid<\/p>\n

Also known as a <\/span>bridesmaid invitation<\/span>, a <\/span>bridesmaid proposal card<\/span> is something you write and give to someone to ask them to be your bridesmaid. It can be a short handwritten note, a homemade card, or a personalized<\/span> online card<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Bridesmaid proposal cards<\/span> often have a theme that matches the <\/span>wedding invitation<\/span> suite (including save the dates and thank you cards). For example, the design might have pretty pastels or follow a<\/span>\u00a0fall wedding theme<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While you can send a proposal card to your bridal party, it doesn\u2019t have to stop there. Feel free to \u201cpropose\u201d to other members of your <\/span>wedding party<\/span> too \u2014 like your <\/span>maid of honor<\/span> or <\/span>matron of honor<\/span>, <\/span>groomsmen<\/span>, <\/span>flower girl<\/span>, and ring bearer. You can tailor each proposal card so it fits the role you want your <\/span>bestie<\/span> or loved one to play.<\/span><\/p>\n

When to Send Your <\/b>Bridesmaid Proposal Cards<\/b><\/h2>\n

Aim to send out your bridesmaid and <\/span>maid of honor proposal<\/span> cards <\/span>between a year and six months ahead of the <\/b>big day<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n

You can send your <\/span>bridesmaid invitations<\/span> at any time, but we recommend giving your future bridesmaids plenty of notice \u2014 especially if you\u2019re planning a<\/span>\u00a0destination wedding<\/strong><\/span><\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Asking them early means you can share your excitement sooner, and everyone has plenty of time to plan. After all, your <\/span>wedding party<\/span> won\u2019t just be there on your <\/span>wedding day<\/span>, but they\u2019ll also plan the<\/span> wedding shower<\/strong><\/span><\/a> or<\/span> bridal shower<\/a><\/strong>,<\/span> bachelorette party<\/a><\/strong>, and all those fun moments ahead of the <\/span>big day<\/span>.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re getting married on short notice, don\u2019t panic. Ask your loved ones to get involved with your ceremony as soon as you can, and ask them to be your bridesmaid in person if that\u2019s the quickest route.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
