Bridesmaid Proposal Boxes, Compared by What Actually Fits In Them
Editor's pick Pop Fizz Designs Bridesmaid Proposal Box Set, 6-Pack
For most bridal parties the Pop Fizz Designs 6-Pack is the sensible default: 9.5 by 6.5 by 3 inches is deep enough for a stemless glass lying down, and the set gives you one maid-of-honour box without buying it separately. If your party is larger than five, jump straight to the 10-pack rather than buying two sixes and having a spare.

The picks, reviewed
01Pop Fizz Designs Bridesmaid Proposal Box Set, 6-Pack
Best default
Nine and a half by six and a half by three inches, which is the number that matters. That depth takes a stemless glass on its side, a candle, a card and a small piece of jewellery without the lid bowing. The set is five bridesmaid boxes plus one maid-of-honour box, so you are not buying the odd one out on its own. Five design options share the same dimensions, so choosing floral over marble changes nothing about what fits.
- Interior depth is published rather than guessed at, the maid-of-honour box is included, and the five finishes are the same size so you can pick on looks alone
- Three inches is tight for a rolled robe, and you assemble and fill every box yourself
- Budget an evening for six
02Pop Fizz Designs Bridesmaid Proposal Box Set, 10-Pack
The same box in a bigger count: nine bridesmaid boxes and one maid-of-honour box. Worth doing the arithmetic before you default to two six-packs, because two sixes leaves you with twelve boxes and two maid-of-honour lids, one of which has no job.
- Lower price per box than buying two smaller sets, and you end up with one maid-of-honour box rather than two
- Ten boxes to fill is a real evening of work, and if your party shrinks you are holding stock you cannot return once opened
03Bridesmaid Proposal Box Set, 6 Empty Boxes
Five bridesmaid boxes and one maid-of-honour box, unbranded, at the bottom of the price range. The trade is that the listing does not publish interior dimensions, so you are buying without knowing whether the glass you had in mind lies flat. If the contents are small, cards, jewellery, a hair tie, that does not matter.
- Cheapest per box of the three, and the maid-of-honour box is still included
- No published interior dimensions, so you cannot check fit before ordering
- Reviews describe the card stock as lighter than the Pop Fizz sets
Buyer FAQ
How far ahead should I order?
Three to four weeks before you plan to hand them out. Popular finishes go out of stock closer to spring and autumn wedding season, and you want time to replace a damaged box rather than hand one over taped shut.
Is a pre-filled box cheaper than filling one myself?
Usually not, once you account for items you would have bought anyway. Pre-filled wins on time, not money. Filling six boxes yourself is an evening; ordering six filled boxes is ten minutes.
Do I need a separate maid-of-honour box?
All three sets above include one, so no. Buying two six-packs for a party of nine leaves you with a second maid-of-honour box and nobody to give it to.
What actually fits in a 9.5 by 6.5 by 3 inch box?
A stemless glass on its side, a jar candle, a folded card, a hair tie and a small jewellery box, with room to pad. A rolled robe is the usual thing that does not fit.

What we did, and did not do
- What we did
- Compared published interior dimensions, pack counts and price per box against what people actually put inside one, then checked every listing is live and currently sold.

Most writing on this topic is a list of things to put in a box, not a comparison of the boxes. That is backwards, because the box is the constraint. A stemless wine glass is about 4.5 inches tall lying on its side, a candle in a jar is 3 to 4, and a folded robe is bulkier than either. So we compared on interior depth first, then pack count and the maid-of-honour box, then price per box once you account for what the set includes. Every listing below was checked as live and currently sold.
