When it comes to marriage proposals, most people want to get it right the first time because it’s a big moment in their lives. For some reason though, a lot of guys don’t seek out the help they should. Women don’t plan entire weddings completely by themselves without help, so men shouldn’t do that either with proposals.
If you’re thinking about proposing soon and think you have a great idea and plan down, you need to do some self-reflection first and ask yourself some important questions. Having solid, well-thought out answers to the questions below will ensure that you will have a great proposal idea.
Is My Proposal Idea Based On Her Likes?
This is the number one mistake guys make with proposal ideas when they don’t seek out help. They come up with an idea that they think is cool but it’s only something they would enjoy. Ask yourself, is this proposal idea based on something that my partner loves to do on her own is it something she just comes along with for me? If it’s something that she does only for you, then you need to seriously consider changing your idea.
Is My Proposal Idea Generic?
Sad but true… many guys look up ideas on Google and just pick something up from there without incorporating aspects of their relationship. Women love to see that you put some thought into it. They love to see that you know her personality and tailored your proposal to that. Make sure that your wedding proposal is suited to your own unique relationship.
Have I Thought About the Details?
These are the details about the proposal that really make it stand out. If she has favorites like a certain type of dessert and you include it in the proposal, then you’re golden. It’s all the small touches you add to a proposal that will really make it memorable.
Do I Have a Backup Plan Down?
It is especially important to have an answer to this question if you’re doing something outdoors. Things can always go awry anywhere in the country if you’re leaving it up to mother nature. You should always have a backup plan because if something does not go according to plan, you can still safely pull off your proposal without it being awkward.
Am I Going to Document the Marriage Proposal?
This is very important now-a-days with social media so huge. Are you planning to have a photographer or videographer there to capture the moment? Even if your proposal is small and intimate, it’s nice to have documentation of your proposal setup so that your moment will always be captured and you can reminisce upon it for years to come.
Do I Have a Plan For An After-Celebration?
Many guys forget about this (I was guilty of it myself too!). After your proposal, there are going to be many excited emotions. You should plan for that by celebrating. You can do something like going out somewhere, meeting up with friends and family, or taking a small weekend getaway for just you two. The point is that you want the emotional high from your proposal to keep carrying on.
If you’re thinking about proposing marriage and want it to be perfect, then you’ve come to the right place. Many guys don’t seek out help and end up with a proposal that their partner didn’t enjoy and they’re not proud to talk about. Make sure your proposal is done right!
