Whether you are on a tight budget or you simply don’t like big proposal ideas that are just way too over the top, having a “simple” marriage proposal can still be a great way to go. You need to keep in mind though that even though the concept is “simple” you still have to put some thought into it. Here is a quick guide for how to have a simple marriage proposal idea that will still work out great for you.
Make the Concept Something She Likes
This is always our number one rule but it’s especially important if you’re doing something simple. If you don’t want to do something extravagant stick with something she likes to do but add a small twist. For example, if she likes a certain restaurant, try to get take-out from there and eat it on your balcony or patio and propose after. If she likes hikes, then take her on a hike of the nicest place you two have been to.
Don’t Involve Too Many Variables
This is where people get in trouble. Many guys want to go for the simple concept but can’t decide on what to include so they keep adding elements. This not only makes it not simple anymore but makes the likelihood of the proposal concept flowing together not smooth. You can’t have a picnic, then a snack at her favorite restaurant, then a walk at the beach, then a walk at the park, then her favorite song playing, then some balloons, before you finally propose. Stick to just one major theme but add an element of sweetness to it.
Don’t Go to Unfamiliar Territory
This is something going wrong waiting to happen. You have to be familiar with your setting if you want to go the simple route. If you want to propose while on a hike, make sure you scout it out beforehand rather than just doing it on the fly. If it’s unfamiliar to you, then you run the risk of something not being exactly as you envision and having to postpone your proposal or having your proposal be sub-par compared to what you wanted.
