20 Maid of Honor Proposal Ideas She'll Never Forget
You're engaged! Now it's time to plan a proposal of your own.
Once your partner pops the question and you say "yes!" it's time to bring on the wedding planning. Sure, you've got cakes to taste, seating charts to figure out, and rings to buy, but there's one task that should be at the tippy-top of your to-do list: asking your best friend to stand beside you on your big day. Not only will you need her help and support during the upcoming months, there's also no one you'd rather get married next to—your special someone excluded, of course. How to ask though? She deserves a memorable maid of honor proposal. Once you've enlisted her help, she can help you with the other pressing matters of the day like sorting through country wedding ideas and concocting the perfect Instagram captions. (Come to think of it, you might want to have another gift at the ready for when all that work is complete!)
