After you’re married, your partner will be asked how you proposed millions of times. You want the memory to make them glittery-eyed, not cause them to look uncomfortable. Popping the question during the festive season is a great way to boost the romance of your proposal but be sure to follow important tips.
Bring the Bling
What’s a proposal without a ring? Getting down on bended knee or saying a romantic speech just isn’t as effective if you don’t finish with a gorgeous symbol of your love. It can feel overwhelming to find the right ring, but take your time to do your research. Visit different jewelry shops to get ideas and ask your partner’s loved ones for advice on styles. Those closest to her can also help you get the perfect ring size, but another idea is to borrow one of her rings on the sly so that you’ll be sure of the perfect fit.
Take a Trip Down Memory Lane
When asking for your partner’s hand in marriage, remember that location is important! The festive season offers many opportunities for pretty places where you can get down on bended knee, such as in the snow during a romantic walk or in front of the fireplace after dinner. Make the location extra romantic by opting for a place that holds special memories for you. For instance, the location of your first date or first kiss. This makes it so much more personal while Christmas touches, such as romantic lights all around, make it memorable.
Keep it Intimate
It might be tempting to shout out your proposal in front of lots of people, but this can kill the special mood. A recent survey found that most brides don’t want flash-mob or Facebook proposals (no surprises there!), and favour something low-key and intimate.
The festive season is about bringing together loved ones, so it’s an idea to propose in front of family and friends, but ensure that it’s a happy occasion. Remember, Christmas can sometimes bring stress along with cheer, and you don’t want anything or anyone killing the mood!
Have a Backup Plan
Sometimes plans don’t work out. Maybe it’s pouring with rain on the day you wanted to have a romantic carriage ride or your bride-to-be is in a bad mood because she had an argument with her sister. Have a backup plan or two in place to keep things flexible so you can zip into your next idea without feeling stressed.
Proposing is an exciting, nerve-wracking experience but by following important tips you can make it a gorgeous occasion that you and your partner will fondly remember forever. Contact The Heart Bandits to start planing your perfect proposal today.
