“Today Paige started gifting her friends (and sister!) with bridesmaid proposal boxes, which I don’t think existed in 1996 when I became engaged to her dad…or if they did exist, they either hadn’t made it to Oklahoma yet or I wasn’t cool enough to know about them,” Ree joked in herPioneer Woman blog. “Needless to say, they’re fun and cute and a clever way to ask one’s bridesmaids if they will…well, be bridesmaids!”

Ree revealed the contents of each box, which came with thoughtful notes for the bridesmaids, a black-and-white photo of herself with each of the box recipients, champagne and a matchbook with customized labels, a Dior hand cream and more.
