proposal ideas for people over 50

Today we have a special guest blog from Julia McCartney. She is a staff researcher and part-time writer and she’s wrote a great article for us today about Romantic Proposal Ideas for People over 50. Since so many of our clients are proposing later on in life or even proposing to a new partner, we thought this article is a great fit for our audience.  Enjoy!

Once you’re over 50, the idea of proposing via JumboTron or at a basketball game starts to seem a little too much. For those over 50 who think they’re ready to tie the knot – whether again or for the first time – here are five ways to propose that your more mature partner will appreciate.

1. Propose on a sailboat during a romantic vacation

With moonlight over the water, a bottle of champagne, and no one else in sight, what could be better?

2. Propose over a home-cooked candlelight dinner

Surprise your sweetie at home with a home-cooked meal and an engagement ring for dessert.

3. Propose during a picnic lunch

If you and your sweetheart love the great outdoors, plan a short hike and a picnic lunch on a sunny weekend. Surprise her with a ring inside the basket.

4. Propose by song

Have a good singing voice? Serenade your sweetheart at a restaurant or at karaoke night at your favorite neighborhood bar. Include your wedding proposal in the song.

5. Propose with the family

Proposals at Thanksgiving or Christmas might seem a little old-fashioned and boring compared to the suggestions above, but if your bride-to-be over 50 is a mature woman with children and close siblings, proposing with their support at a family event is often the most romantic thing you can do.
