The Heart Bandits Romantic Room Makeover Package

Is your heart set on at home marriage proposal?  There are many reasons you may want to propose in your own home.  You may prefer the privacy and intimacy at home.  Perhaps you are on a budget and you don’t want to rent out a fancy venue.  Or maybe you want to propose in a place where you already have so many memories.  Whatever your reasoning, if you decide to propose at home, you’re probably wondering what you can do to really make it special.  Use our helpful tips to elevate your proposal plans, and sweep your partner off of their feet.  Here are some tips on How To Make A Proposal At Home Special.

Ambiance 

Any space can be magical if given a facelift.  Consider the space you have to work with.  Transforming it into something imaginative can be simple if you pay attention to the details.  Soften the lights, get rid of unnecessary distractions, remove clutter, and clean it from top to bottom. Set up candles and rose petals would be a great touch. You can get our romantic room makeover package here!  If you really want to go over the top, hire our team to come over and completely transform your home into a proposal paradise.

Food & Drink

If possible, provide your partner’s favorite meal.  Whether it is home-cooked or brought in from a restaurant, make sure it’s done with love and attention.  Set the table or eating space up so that everything is ready to go.  Buy a tablecloth if you don’t have one – and be sure to include a centerpiece of some kind. Flowers, candles, or a silver ice bucket with a bottle of wine chilling inside are all nice touches.  Be sure to offer dessert after the meal to enhance the experience.  This is super cute in photos too!

Music

Some traditional proposal venues don’t have sound systems or they charge a fortune and require you to use their in-house A/V team.  One of the best things about having a proposal at home is that you can control the music.  Create a play-list with romantic songs that your partner loves, or hire a musician to serenade the two of you while you eat.

TV

Forget the expensive projectors you would have to rent if you were proposing at a hotel or a banquet space.  With Smart TV’s, you could turn your TV into a video montage of your relationship!  Have a slideshow of your favorite memories going on when your partner walks in.

Bottoms Up

If you propose at a restaurant or hotel, you are going to pay really high prices for celebratory champagne.  And some venues don’t allow any outside alcohol at all but they charge crazy service rates.  So yet another great thing about proposing in your own home is that you can have the champagne flowing.  And after you propose, a glass of champagne is a nice touch. If your partner doesn’t drink, you could do a sparkling cider instead.  Plus, a toast looks great in photos.

Document 

Just because you are having your proposal at home, that doesn’t mean your partner won’t want photos or video of the proposal.  Hire a proposal photographer or videographer to capture the proposal moment.  If you don’t have the budget for that, put up go-pro’s in the house!  Or even ask a friend to come over and take photos.

Personalize

Hire The Heart Bandits to come up with proposal ideas that are unique and personalized and can be executed in your home.  Once you have the idea you love, you can also hire us to come decorate and plan the entire event.  If you don’t have the budget to hire a proposal planner, start brainstorming what you could do to personalize the proposal and make it really special.  For example, if you met in College, can you include some college colors or pictures of you back then?  If you shared your first kiss on a bridge, could you have a photo of that bridge blown up on a canvas and displayed the night of your engagement?  There are so many ways to get creative and really personalize your wedding proposal.
