There are thousands of different ways of asking someone to be your witness for your wedding to be. And that is why every time more couples and more couples opt surprise to those who will play a special role on the big day.
Witnesses are fundamental for any wedding, these are special relatives, friends who know all the history of your love and do not want to miss out on being a direct participant in your most special day.
For this, they deserve a special surprise, whether it’s a feather with personality, a collage of photos or even fortune biscuits, there are plenty of original ways to ask your witness to be a witness at your wedding! And that’s what we’re here for.
To continue, we will tell you a few for you to choose the one that suits you best.
Let’s begin!
1. An additional card within the wedding invitation
Among the ideas for asking to witness the wedding, we love the idea of sending them an extra card inside the invitation. You can personalise it by leaving the proposal in a small envelope containing a note saying: “Do you want to be our wedding witness?” and attach decorative details such as streamers and confetti to make it more fun.
2. With a selfie
The funniest and most innovative couples will love the idea of “acting” in a small video inviting their friends to be wedding witnesses, and their surprised faces will be recorded in the memory!
3. With a puzzle
One of the most original ideas for wedding witnesses is to make the proposal by giving them a puzzle that, when they assemble it, the phrase “We’ve already said yes… now it’s your turn, would you like to be our wedding witness?
4. With a photo collage
When it comes to making a gift that is sentimental, photos can be the best way to tell the good news you are going to give to those family and friends. Through the best memories of a lifetime collected for the occasion and hidden among the most special images and scenes, there can be a letter or a simple pretty piece of paper that asks the question.
5. Through a funny photo
You can take a selfie with a little sign saying: “You have been chosen as a witness for our wedding! Do you accept?” Then send it to the person in question and wait for their happy response.
6. With a gift
A gift will always be a sure way to surprise your loved ones. For example, something sweet like cupcakes, biscuits decorated with the bridal gowns or a container containing almonds or chocolates.
Reusable tote bags, a pin or brooch to wear on the suit, or even a mug with a fun design of a couple about to get married are also great gifts to give!
7. A personalised pen or pencil
Ideas for handing over and proposing to your witness include a pen, pencil or pen for the day they have to sign the marriage certificate along with phrases such as “Will you be a witness for the big day”. We love it!
8. With a scratch card
It’s hard to find something more original than this idea, which mixes emotions such as surprise, illusion or joy. This scratch card does not include the biggest prize of the day, but it does include one of the most emotional prizes, a sincere and direct question: “Do you want to be my witness? The detail is also a nice souvenir for the protagonists and also for the bride and groom.
9. At a dinner party
Invite your future witnesses to a dinner and in the middle of the toast let them know that your friendship is important, then take the opportunity to make the proposal to be your wedding witnesses. Surely they will accept without hesitation the important role!
10. With a relaxing kit
For men or women and in different versions, a relaxing kit is always a good idea. The pack can include a vanity case, bath bombs, soap bubbles, a candle, hand cream and perfume, in a perfectly decorated box. It will be a great way to calm their nerves before the big day!
11. During a video call
New technologies allow for quicker and more agile communication. Especially if your witnesses don’t live in the city and will be travelling for the big day, making a video call is the best way to tell them in real time about your decision and experience the reaction with them, they won’t even expect it!
12. Sending a bottle of wine
Another option to tell your witnesses is to send them a bottle of wine at home with a card that says something like “Here’s to many more special moments together: will you be my witness at your wedding? It’s worth noting that, in many cities, sending a bottle by balloon is not at all expensive and a super quick and easy option.
13. With flowers
From bonsais to hydrangeas to eucalyptus, the options are endless, but they all have the same result: a big smile and a symbolic meaning. Giving flowers to witnesses is not only emotional because of their beauty, but also because of the meaning behind them: “Take care of this plant as you are going to take care of us from now on”. You can even give flowers that have something to do with the decoration of your big day, you will give them a clue!
14. With fortune cookies
Fortune cookies, a traditional Asian souvenir, are becoming more and more common at informal celebrations where guests want to have a good time. There are many companies that offer the possibility of choosing or creating the messages inside, so that the couple can leave the one that suits them best. Original and fun!
