National Proposal Day

March 20 is National Proposal Day, and while you may not be ready to pop the question, it can be the perfect day to plan for your future together. Whether you want to start the conversation about marriage or go ring shopping together, why not take advantage of a day filled with excitement to dream about getting down on one knee?

If you’re brainstorming creative proposal ideas, take a look at some romantic options for National Proposal Day.

Start the Conversation

If you think your significant other is “the one,” but you haven’t talked about it yet, National Proposal Day could be a great day to spark the conversation. Have you both discussed your futures together and can picture what life would be like? Try having a casual conversation about where you imagine your paths taking you.

A conversation like this can also be a helpful starting point to get an idea of what she’s looking for in a proposal–whether she wants something public or private. She might also express immediate excitement, or you might realize you need to build in more time. Either way, March 20 can give you the courage you need to bring up the conversation about marriage.

Look at Rings

Maybe you’ve discussed marriage but haven’t taken it a step further. In honor of National Proposal Day, why not look at rings together? While it might seem like this would take the excitement out of your proposal, ring shopping can actually help you understand what she’s looking for in an engagement ring so you can surprise her even more!

There are plenty of sites and apps that can help you virtually look at rings, or if you’re feeling spontaneous, try visiting a jewelry store together and have her try on a few diamonds in person. There’s nothing more romantic than making a mutual commitment to your future together.
