If you are stuck for ideas and are wondering how to ask your groomsmen to be a part of your special day, we have some fun ideas that will help you propose to your groomsman and make it a special moment for both them and you.

Personalised Shot Glasses

You can get your groomsmen a gift to accompany them the moment you ask them to be a part of your day. Personalised shot glasses are a great idea because they will have something the groomsmen can keep and cherish. Shot glasses are also commonly used household items and you could even use them together at your bachelor party!

Instead of getting gifts, or alongside getting gifts you could make the announcement to your groomsmen by hosting a barbecue and asking them to be a part of your special day over some beers and good food. What better way to spend quality time with your groomsmen and make the moment something you can have a meal over?

Poker Night

Custom Coffee Mugs

A cool way to ask your team to be a part of your special day is to get them personalised made coffee mugs with either their own names or faces on the mugs! There are many ways to get mugs made with custom designs and prints. This is a great idea to document the proposal and have your groomsmen sip on beverages with the constant reminder that they were part of your bridal party!

Cameo and fun video messages

If you are looking to ask your groomsmen the big question in a fun way you can get someone else like a celebrity, sports star or anyone fun to record the message for you. Obviously, it might not be the easiest thing to get a celebrity to record your groomsmen’s proposal for you but there are many ways you can do this or you could even have someone meaningful like an old school teacher, or a playful and funny edit of yourself asking your groomsmen. A video message leaves them with something they can keep and can play over again at a later time.

Your groomsmen are important team members who will be there for you before and during your wedding day. Asking them to be a part of your special day shouldn’t be boring. You can combine any one of a number of ideas together, just make sure to celebrate the proposal and make it special!
