Once upon a time, planning a wedding meant booking a venue, picking out a dress, brainstorming floral arrangements, and enjoying cake samples. Nowadays, however — largely thanks to social media — bridesmaid proposal gifts are a thing. So, if the next item on your wedding to-do list is to put together the cutest bridesmaid proposal box, we're here to help. While pre-curated gift boxes exist, we love the idea of picking and choosing the best bridesmaid gifts to create a one-of-a-kind pre-wedding kit. The beauty of this approach is that, no matter your budget, there are ways to make a lasting impression on your best gals.

Perhaps you already know that a beach bachelorette is in the works. If that's the case, filling a personalized tote with sunglasses, a T-shirt, and hangover essentials is a cute idea. If you're having a bed-and-breakfast bach, taking a sleepover-themed approach with personalized PJs and slippers and a variety of self-care goodies is sure to be a hit. The point is, no matter the vibe you're going for, there are plenty of bridesmaid gift ideas to choose from, many of which work well for proposal boxes, as well as day-of thank you gifts for bridesmaids. (Don't forget to add a wedding card to the bag!) So, without further ado, read on to find the best bridesmaid gifts for your bridal party.
