Q:Put some thought into it
A proposal is something that (hopefully!) only happens once in your life so make it count!
Q. Worried you won't be able to say what you want to say?
Get creative! Spell it out in the sand, on cupcakes, flying from a plane in the sky! (Just make sure you double-check your spelling!)
Q:Think carefully about the location
A proposal is something that (hopefully!) only happens once in your life so make it count!
Q:Make it a game!
Enlist friends, devise some clues and be waiting at the end, ring in hand, ready to go! Who doesn’t love a treasure hunt where the final prize is a proposal?!
Q:Details matter
Add a few things that will really touch their heart, like a beautiful blanket to sit on, a trail of flower petals, or having your special song playing in the background. Hide away their favorite snacks and a bottle of bubbles or kombucha so you can cheers yourselves afterwards!
Q:Clean up
If you’re wanting a cosy proposal at home a la Harry and Meaghan, elevate the setting slightly – whip around with the vacuum cleaner, make sure all the dishes are done and put washing away. Being surrounded by a mess isn’t a romantic proposal!
Q:Find a view
It could be an old favorite or it might be somewhere you’ve never been, but make it pretty if being Gram-worthy is important to your partner!
Q. It doesn't just have to be the two of you
Ask her father’s permission, if she’s a traditional girl.
Or a video? If so, enlist a friend (or book a pro) to hide somewhere to capture the moment they say yes!
Your partner will (all things going to plan!) wear that ring every day for the rest of their lives so you want to make sure they’ll love it! If they’ve been throwing heavy hints and circling jewelry brochures, it’s a safe bet to follow their lead. But if you have no.idea.at.all, maybe don’t risk it – buy a placeholder and then choose something together later.
Asking someone to marry you is exciting so have fun planning how you’ll do it – and then enjoy the moment and do your best to take it all in! We hope to see you as an engaged couple at Allely Estate sometime soon – good luck!
