Jewellery

Now, not only do your bridesmaids know the great news, they also have a lovely piece of meaningful jewellery that they can keep forever. A personalised necklace, bracelet or pair of earrings is an amazing gift that your bridesmaids will love. Your bridesmaids could also wear their jewellery on your wedding day so make sure to pick something that works with your colour scheme!

Gift Boxes

If you can't decide on just one way to tell your bridesmaids, then why not give them a box full of gifts? Inside you can put lots of little presents like nail varnish, perfume, chocolates or jewellery. Try adding something sentimental as well - maybe a photograph of a memory you shared together?

A Puzzle

We love this idea! Leave a box of puzzle pieces on their doorstep with a note and let your future bridesmaid piece together what's going on. This fun and playful idea is sure to have your bridesmaids smiling when they see the message.

A Card

A simple but thoughtful card is a great way to ask someone to be your bridesmaid! You can buy really adorable cards on websites like Etsy but if you want to go all out, why not try making the card yourself?

Bake Something!

This is the perfect idea for a bride with a sweet tooth. What better way for you to ask your besties to be your bridesmaids than with some adorable homemade biscuits? You can decorate and personalise them in any way you'd like. Your bridesmaids are sure to appreciate this thoughtful, homemade gift.
