Proposing to your girlfriend is a stressful event. That is why The Heart Bandits have put together a list of 3 Wedding Proposal Mistakes You Should Avoid. As Proposal Experts at The Heart Bandits, we feel that avoiding these mistakes is just as important as the marriage proposal itself.
Asking When You Don’t Know If She Is Ready
You don’t have to come out and ask your girlfriend if she is ready for marriage yet. Throughout the relationship there should be hints if you two are headed in that direction. An example would be making plans in the distant future like what you will do for next years anniversary or next Christmas. A less subtle hint would be her talking about engagement rings or moving in together. The bottom line is, you usually will know if she has marriage on her mind. The last thing you want to do is propose and her say no. It is embarrassing for her and your relationship may not be able to withstand the rejection you could feel.
Proposing Without A Ring
As Engagement Planners at The Heart Bandits, we get asked “Should I propose without a ring” a lot. The Heart Bandits definitely advise you to have an engagement ring before you propose (we can help you pick out one). The reason is because it is a tangible symbol of your commitment and it is a timeless tradition. There are always exceptions to every rule but in general, you should have something to symbolize your engagement.
Proposing Without A Plan
This is a rookie move right here. Nowadays there is no excuse for having a lame proposal. There are professional Proposal Planners out there to help you come up with a great proposal idea so proposing without a plan just isn’t acceptable. Think of how you will propose, plan it out, and then execute it beautifully. She will be happy you did.
If you want to make sure you have the perfect marriage proposal idea or the perfect engagement ring, contact The Heart Bandits today. We are marriage proposal experts and can tell you exactly all you need to know to propose. We will walk you through things you need to consider to make this day as special as it really needs to be.

Sooo true on the last point. I cringe when I ask a friend “so, how did your husband propose?” and the answer is “Oh… uh… he kinda just gave a ring and said that we should get married. So we did.” BLAH! I wish guys would understand that when you give a girl a great story to tell that filled with your imagination and thoughtfulness, it’s more than bragging rights. It’s a reminder of how much you love her every time she gets to tell the story! (BTW, I told my husband that if he made a lame proposal I would say no just to make him do it again haha. It was awesome!!)
Yea, some guys just don’t get it Heather. But that is why we started our business lol
