Who you ask to be in your wedding party to be part of your big day is a special moment — and the way you ask matters.
Bridesmaid proposal gift boxes have become a meaningful way to celebrate friendships, create excitement, and set the tone for your wedding. With custom packaging, you can turn a simple question into a keepsake your bridal party will remember long after the wedding day.
Here are some creative bridesmaid proposal gift box ideas — plus how to design custom boxes easily using DIYpack’s online Design Studio.
What Is a Bridesmaid Proposal Gift Box?
A bridal party proposal gift box is a curated package filled with thoughtful items — like notes, accessories, or small gifts — asking someone to be part of your wedding party.
Custom packaging elevates these boxes by:
- Making the moment feel intentional and personal
- Creating a cohesive look for your wedding aesthetic
- Turning the box itself into a keepsake
With DIYpack, you can design proposal boxes that match your vision exactly — without minimums or complicated setup. Check out the artwork guidelines, pick your box style and start designing!
Classic “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” Proposal Boxes
Sometimes simple is best.
A clean, custom-printed box with a heartfelt message inside is a timeless option. Add items like:
- A handwritten note or card
- Candles or mini beauty products
- Jewelry or hair accessories
- A small bottle of champagne or sparkling water
Using the DIYpack Design Studio, you can:
- Add custom text inside the box
- Match colors to your wedding palette
- Preview the design in 3D before ordering

Matching Proposal Boxes with Individual Personalization
Want each bridesmaid to feel extra special? Use the same box design and personalize what you put inside each one.
Ideas include:
- Custom notes tailored to each relationship
- Gifts that align with that bridesmaid
- Different color gifts
If you want to create different custom boxes for each bridesmaid, DIYpack makes it easy. You can duplicate your original design and simply swap text or colors — no design experience required.
Once you finish your first box, add it to your cart. From there, duplicate the box and click Edit Product on the copy to update the design in the Design Studio with each bridesmaid’s name or custom details.
While ordering multiples of the same box is more affordable, this is a once-in-a-lifetime moment — and the extra personalization goes a long way.
Proposal Boxes Based on Your Wedding Theme
Let your proposal boxes preview the vibe of your wedding.
Popular themes include:
- Minimal & modern
- Rustic or boho
- Romantic florals
- Elegant black & white
- Beach or destination weddings
In the Design Studio, you can upload artwork, add patterns, or adjust colors to reflect your theme — and see exactly how it will look before you order.
Bridesmaid Proposal Boxes with Practical Gifts
Proposal boxes don’t have to be extravagant — thoughtful and useful gifts go a long way.
Some practical ideas:
- Cozy socks or robes
- Makeup bags or travel pouches
- Drinkware or tumblers
- Self-care items
Pairing these gifts with a custom box makes the experience feel elevated without overdoing it.
5. Groomsmen & Wedding Party Proposal Boxes
Proposal boxes aren’t just for bridesmaids. If you plan on doing them, talk to your groom about also bringing the unique experience to his groomsmen as well.
Groomsmen, best men, and other wedding party members appreciate thoughtful packaging too. Consider items like:
- Socks or ties
- Small grooming kits
- Personalized notes
- Snacks or mini bottles
DIYpack’s custom boxes work just as well for groomsmen proposals — with designs that feel bold, clean, or understated.
How to Design Your Proposal Boxes with DIYpack
Designing custom wedding proposal boxes is easier than you think.
Step 1: Choose Your Box Style & Size
Select a box style that fits your theme and gifts, measure to see how much space the gifts will take up to pick the inside dimensions for a perfect fit. Choose if you want to print inside, outside, or both, depending on your box style.
Step 2: Pick Your Material & Finish
Choose from kraft, white, or premium white finishes depending on your aesthetic.
Step 3: Design in the DIYpack Design Studio
Upload artwork, add text, adjust colors, and place your design directly on the box dieline. The artwork guidelines and instructional videos can help you ensure you are designing something that will print really well on corrugated board.

Rotate and view your box as it will appear when assembled — a huge confidence booster before ordering.
