Deciding to propose to your partner can be a stressful decision. Even if you’re sure they’re going to say yes, actually planning out the best way to do it and then waiting for the answer is enough to reduce some people to a puddle. While we can’t guarantee a perfect proposal, these few tips will ensure it goes as smoothly as possible and will give you a few tips on how to make it unique.
While you can just pop the question at a restaurant, it’s nice to do something a bit more meaningful and personal to the two of you and sometimes it’s cool to just break the proposal mold as well.
Choose A Destination That’s Meaningful
Maybe you met at this destination or had your first date there or maybe it’s somewhere you’d both commented you’d love to go. The setting is so important for a proposal and if you do it right it will really make the story great and they’ll be so appreciative of the thought you put into it.
Can’t think of a great destination? That’s ok! You can always go for something more unique like proposing at a museum they like or a sporting event you know they love. Getting creative with proposals is half the fun and if you want to go all out, then go for it.
Keep In Mind What They Want
If your partner is incredibly shy and hates attention, don’t plan a proposal in front of thousands of people (like a sporting event) or somewhere where all eyes will be on you guys. While some people love the attention, some people hate it and it may ruin the moment for them.
You know your partner best, so if you think they won’t like that, it’s best to stay away from any proposal ideas that involve lots of attention even if you think it’s a great idea.
Plan What You’ll Say
Sometimes you propose and just say what comes to mind and if that’s what you choose to do, that’s great! But it’s a good idea to have a vague idea on what you want to tell them. They’ll love all the great things you say about them.
Go For A Unique Box
This might sound weird, but sometimes it’s fun to play around with how you present the ring. This $29 orb off Etsy is such a cool idea and there are so many awesome ways you could incorporate this into your proposal.
Proposing doesn’t have to be a huge event and cost you hours of preparation and money. Just being thoughtful and tailoring the proposal to what you know your partner will love will mean they’ll be all the more surprised and appreciative. With these tips under your belt, we wish you luck!
