Choose friends and family who are close to you, but who are also going to help you get through planning the wedding without causing any drama.<\/span><\/p> <p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It has been on trend recently to \u2018propose\u2019 to your bridesmaids &#8211; meaning you get to have some fun when you ask your girls to stand with you. Here are some of our favourites:<\/span><\/p> <p>&nbsp;<\/p> <ol> <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Personalized Wine Glasses\/ Personalized Anything:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Wine glasses or tumblers that say \u201cbridesmaid\u201d and your friend\u2019s name are not only cute, but they are practical and a great memory for your friend to have. Wine not your thing? You can also personalize t-shirts, necklaces, hats or bags.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/> <\/span><\/li> <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Accessories:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Give your girls something they can wear to the wedding. Popular choices are bracelets, earrings and of course, rings! You can also opt to get your girls something they can wear as a hairpiece that will look good with a variety of hairstyles. By giving your girls something they can wear, you add continuity and give them a wonderful memory. Not to mention, they will appreciate having something they can wear again!<\/span><\/li> <li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><b>Champagne or Wine:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> When you\u2019re planning a wedding, everything is a reason to celebrate! So, grab your girls and cheers to them standing beside you. Some brides opt for custom stickers that read \u201c<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Now it\u2019s my turn to pop the question!
