Asking your best girls to be at your side on your wedding day is one of the most exciting wedding planning moments. They will be so touched to have been asked and will be keen to help you out with wedding and hen party planning, adding a little fun to this otherwise stressful process.

Brides-to-be are always looking for beautiful and unique ways to ask their girls to be part of their #BrideTribe, so Guides for Brides have come up with some great little gift ideas. We’ve teamed up with Getting Personal to offer you the chance to WIN a £50 voucher and get your hands on these goodies - all you need to do is leave a review of one of your wedding suppliers on guidesforbrides.co.uk and you'll be automatically entered.

Proposing to your bridesmaids: 6 gorgeous gifts

1. Bridesmaid Planner

We all know that being a bridesmaid is a big responsibility and usually requires some serious organisational skills (especially where the hen party is concerned!), so this planner is the perfect proposal gift. Such a cute little notebook for all her ideas - and it’ll be a lovely memento, too.

2. Personalised wine

There’s nothing better than a night in with your best girls and a bottle of wine - so why not make that your proposal? Ask your bridesmaids to come over for a girls night in, and present them with a bottle reading “will you be my bridesmaid” - not only is it something that you can share together, but she’ll also be able to keep it forever as a reminder of her role on your special day.

3. Personalised Necklace

These gorgeous heart tag necklaces are the perfect proposal. Your bridesmaids will be able to wear them on the day of your wedding, and they will always act as a reminder of your day. The simple style will suit everyone’s tastes as well as looking stunning on the day, and you can even choose which colour metal will suit each maid best.

4. Personalised chocolate bar

So we’ve had the wine, but what about the chocolate? We all know that they way to a girls heart is through their stomach, so there’s no better way to ask your girl to be your bridesmaid than a personalised chocolate bar. The perfect option for the chocolate-loving bridesmaid - and if you're lucky, she might even share!

5. Personalised Sweets in a Jar

Continuing with the sweet treats theme, this sweetie jar is a really cute way to propose to your bridesmaids. Not only is it filled with delicious strawberry bonbons, but they will be able to reuse the jar once they’re eaten (we reckon they won’t last long!), as a special reminder of your day.

6. Personalised Dressing Gown

We absolutely love this one - their very own personalised dressing gown. Although strictly speaking they won’t need this until the big day, you can still use it in your proposal. Present your bridesmaid with the gown and tell her that she’ll be needing it on the wedding date - she’ll be so excited and they will make for great photos of you and your maids on the day.
