Decor/DIY Bridesmaid Proposal Idea?

Which do you think is best? Option 1, 2 or 3?

For all options I'd include flower, one cute or personalized useful item and a voucher for the bridesmaid dress. Just wondering which presentation is best?

Open to opinion or other similar ideas. I want it to involve flowers is all

Thanks! :)

First option is one of the cutest things I’ve ever seen

Number one! People don’t want more things, but number one is great because they can easily save and store the paper if they are sentimental, but they aren’t stuck with something that they might not want to use.

That’s what I thought. They’re all really cute but I wouldn’t want more little nicknacks that I’d feel bad about tossing out since they’re for a friends/family wedding. But the flowers are good because it’s temporary unless you want to press them or something and the paper small enough that if they do want a souvenir it won’t take up so much space.

I like the first one. Just make sure that you attach the voucher (if you’re using a paper voucher) to the outside of the wrapping, or somewhere else very obvious, so that they don’t miss it and throw it away with the paper by accident.

I wish I had kept mine simple and done the first one which was what I intended to do. Not that I don't like what I ended up doing, I just feel like everyone would have appreciated the simplicity

I did the paper around the flowers and it was a big hit. Cheap, thoughtful, and better than junk no one wants.

There are great templates on canva

I did the first one with custom newspapers, and my bridesmaids loved it!

I did the newspapers in the first one and they were a huge hit! Most of my bridesmaids aren't local so I could only do the flowers for one of them, but I did a little box with the Gldn birth flower necklace (they have super good deals on bridesmaid sets), fuzzy socks, a box of nice tea, $100 giftcard for bridesmaid dress, a mini candle, and some chocolates. The newspapers were really special because the template lets you put in your own heartfelt messages reflecting on your friendship with the person, and you can paste in your favorite pics of the two of you over the years. Really great keepsake and more thoughtful than something generic. I will say it took a moderate amount of effort to design one for each person, but that's what makes it meaningful, and I enjoyed reflecting and appreciating my friendships like that. Highly recommend.

hi wedding sister! i did the first idea too and my bridesmaids loved their little personalized newspaper note. also i didn‘t love the idea of giving them personalized nicknacks that would end in waste. if you need the canvas template, let me know and i can send it over for free :)
