1. Love goes through the stomach

Can your sister enjoy a cosy evening out as a couple? Then invite her to your favourite bar or restaurant for a bite to eat. Ask your sister there as best man and have an evening to remember. Plus, you can also immediately sound off on the good news!

2. Message ON a bottle

You can personalise anything these days. Even a wine bottle can carry your personal message. How nice would it be if your waiter brings you that bottle of wine with your question on it?

3. Whipped cream letters

Nothing like celebrating good news with a delicious cake. Buy your favourite cake and write the big question on the inside of the lid. Or why not have a special cake designed with the festive whipped cream letters ‘Will you be my best man?’. You can also use macarons, chocolate or biscuits to form the letters of GETUIGE.

4. Words straight from the heart

You may find a hundred creative forms for packaging your message, but in the end the content is what really counts. Write your sister a handwritten letter with words straight from your heart. For example, tell your sister why you want to ask her as best man...

5. Unleash the poet in yourself

...or write a poem to ask your sister to be your best man! And you certainly don't have to be a professional poet to do that, because online you can find lots of nice poems you can use.

6. Make memories

You probably have those places where you and your sister have great memories. Why not make another fun memory at that place? Take your sister to a place that is symbolic for you and ask her your question there. We are sure your sister will never forget where you asked her that important question.

7. The hidden treasure

Do you like it more adventurous? Then do a treasure hunt together and let your sister look for ‘the treasure’: a letter with your message on it. Or just take a nice walk together towards ‘the treasure’, stopping where you hid your letter.

8. Sleepover to remember

Surprise your sister with an overnight stay in a nice hotel or B&B, and make sure she never forgets the sleepover. Ask her your question there during your aperitif, or write your message on a letter and put it on her pillow.

9. Be ba balloon

No party without balloons! Have a large balloon - printed with the text ‘Pop me!’ or ‘Surprise inside!, filled with glitter and with a note addressed to your sister that only becomes readable once you pop the balloon. When announcing to your family, make sure your sister can really pop this balloon... If that's not a fun way to ask your sister to be your best man!

10. Say it with a photo

The more personal, the more fun. That's why a photo gift is always a good idea. The possibilities are endless. Choose to print a T-shirt, mug, key ring, cushion,... with a nice photo of you together and the question ‘Will you be my best man?’.

11. Let your sister shine

Want something more? Then opt for personalised jewellery. Have a bracelet or necklace engraved with your sister's name or both your initials on it - and possibly provide one for you too! Wear your bracelet or necklace together on your wedding day. Sisters forever!

12. Mystery box

Admit it: we all love getting a gift box! Make a box with all your sister's favourites, such as treats, bath products, care products,... Bet she'll find the very best gift at the bottom: your card, with your big question!

13. Surprising joker

Do you like playing board games together? Then this is a really fun idea! Play a card game and hide a card with your sweet question among the ‘normal cards’. Make sure your sister gets that card. Wondering if your sister will immediately realise that this question is meant for her, and is separate from the game? Fun guaranteed!

14. Cheers

Ready to chime in on the good news? Then have champagne glasses engraved with the text ‘Will you be my best man?’. Invite your sister home and give her the glasses as a present or pour the drinks in these glasses right away. Possibly her drink will go to her head before she can even sip!

15. Plottwist

There is nothing cozier than watching a film together under a blanket. Show your most creative side and record a fun film in which you ask your sister to be your best man. Invite your sister to your home to watch your favourite film together and show your own film during the break! Admit it: a very unexpected plot twist...
However you handle it: your request is bound to make your sister extremely happy. Because say it yourself: how often does your favourite sister ask you to be her best man?
