A proposal box asks someone to stand with you, and it can carry practical things for the day itself. Give it 8 to 12 months before the wedding, after the date and the size of the wedding party are settled.

Make it useful
A robe, a hair accessory or jewelry she will wear on the day does double duty: it is the gift, and it settles a detail of the morning photos. Ask for sizes before you order anything to wear.
Include the dates she needs early: the dress budget, the shower and the bachelorette, if you know them. A clear ask, with the cost spelled out, is kinder than a beautiful box with no information.
