With all the latest trends in flash mobs, public proposals, and other elaborate proposal productions, it may seem like marriage proposals need to be big in order to be good. That is completely untrue. About half of the proposals that we have helped coordinate have been small and intimate type of proposals. These types of proposals will never go out of style and can always be incredibly meaningful and perfect for your relationship… if you know how to pull it off. Here are some wedding proposal tips by The Heart Bandits on how to propose your engagement with an intimate setting.

Quiet Setting

Similar to the philosophy of real estate, to create the perfect intimate proposal you must first have the location down. Places to consider are your home, a hidden park or hill area, an empty beach, or even a backyard. Setting something up in your home would be the easiest but if you think that you’re home isn’t good enough, remember that it’s not about how grand your home is, it’s about the emotion of the moment. Make sure that whatever location you choose is quiet and free from distractions.

Heirlooms From Your Relationship

To make your intimate proposal special, it’s a good idea to include items from your relationship. Simple things such as pictures of you two throughout your relationship would work well. Anything that you can include into a scrapbook you can pretty much frame and include into your setting. Other examples are ticket stubs from trips together or even printed signs of inside jokes.

Accents of Romance

This is important. To add romance to a setting, all it takes is accents. Things such as flowers, chocolates, romantic background music, candles, a dinner setup with wine, or a fireplace are perfect. You don’t need to go overboard, especially if your location is already good, but make sure you accent it with other romantic items.

Your Partner’s Favorites

This proposal is about your relationship and about your partner, so make sure to include things that your partner likes. Include your partner’s favorite drink, flowers, snacks, and if you have a theme going, use your partner’s favorite color often. Your sweetie will appreciate all the small details that you put into it and will make your time more meaningful.

Having an intimate proposal will always be the default choice if you’re unsure that a bigger, more elaborate proposal will work well. Some people may not have the means to create one however.
