HOW TO PROPOSE
Popping the question to your girls might seem like a daunting task, but perhaps these suggestions will take off the pressure!
1. Ask her/them to dinner.
Food makes everything better. Invite your bestie, or your whole crew, to a favorite restaurant (or somewhere that has sentimental value to you) to take the edge off. Treat it like a regular get-together, and then ask her/them to be in your bridal party when you feel more comfortable. Ordering a cocktail beforehand might help too! 😉
2. Enjoy a Spa Day
Nothing takes stress away like a massage. Ask your gal pals to a spa day and pop the question once your masseuse has gotten the tension out of your body!
3. Host a Movie Night
Ask your girls to stand by your side over popcorn, romcoms, and some candy.
4. Listen to your inner-Elle (Elle Woods, that is!)
A good manicure can brighten the darkest of days. Whether you go alone beforehand, or bring your BFFs along, one thing is for sure – mani/pedi dates can be the perfect backdrop for asking the big question!
Thanks so much for including us! 😀
