Your bridesmaids are some of the closest, most important people in your life, so “proposing,” or asking them to join your side on your big day, should be no small affair. A successful bridesmaid proposal should be an exciting celebration that shows your gal pals just how much you love and appreciate them.

In-person parties, unfortunately, might not be so doable right now. So, with the current limitations, how do you go about hosting a one-of-a-kind proposal party? With a little creativity, you can still throw a virtual gals night or send fun mail to ask your friends to be your bridesmaids. Here are some tips and free printables to help.

Zoom Backgrounds

If you’re planning to throw a virtual proposal party, decorative Zoom backgrounds will make things instantly more festive. With these downloadable backgrounds, you’ll delight your guests and make the distance feel like nothing.

Rom-Com Bingo

What better way to celebrate than with a movie night? Pop some popcorn, sit back, and watch a romcom or two with your bridal party. Thankfully, watching movies is easy to do over video chat! To amp up the fun, print out these romcom bingo cards and make a game out of it.

Proposal Cards

A bridesmaid proposal box is a cute way to ask your friends to join your bridal party. But what to put inside?

You can’t go wrong with a classic proposal card. When a friend opens her card asking her to be your bridesmaid, she won’t be able to keep a smile off her face. Even better if you catch her reaction via FaceTime or Zoom.

Champagne Labels

You’ll want to make the other items in your proposal box personalized and unique. One fun addition is a bottle of champagne, accompanied by these “Will You Be My Bridesmaid?” labels and “I Said Yes!” flags.

Hair Tie Holders

Hair ties and scrunchies are useful, cute accessories to add to your proposal box. Pick wedding-inspired hair ties or choose your friend’s favorite colors. Then, wrap the hair ties around these bridesmaid-themed hair tie holder cards.

A virtual event doesn’t have to be defined by the distance between you and your friends. With these unique ideas, asking your bridesmaids to stand by you on your wedding day will be a fun, thoughtful, and joyous celebration to remember.
