proposal at Belvedere Castle

You know that she has been dreaming of the day a man proposes for her whole life.  And you can’t go one day without seeing a lip-dub proposal or the newest Flash Mob proposal video.  How are you ever going to measure up?  Well the first thing you need to figure out is how to propose!  We have some tips for you below:

Do Your Pre-Proposal Homework

Before you even think about proposing, you need to do some homework.  First, are you sure she will she say yes? Few things are more embarrassing than proposing and getting turned down so you will want to make sure that she does in fact want to marry you.  Next, you need to figure out if she would want you to ask her parents for their blessing.  I recommend doing it if you aren’t sure, just to be respectful.  Once you have done those two assignments, you will need to create a budget for your engagement ring and your proposal.  Do not spend all of your money on the ring and then give her a horrible proposal.  That is a rookie move.

Think of A Proposal Idea

Sounds easy right?  Wrong!  You don’t just need to come up with a proposal idea.  You need to come up with a proposal idea that is truly reflective of her and your relationship with her.  Spend some time really brainstorming what her perfect proposal looks like.  If she has a Pinterest account, check that out or look to pages on Pinterest that give you proposal ideas.

Logistics

Once you have done your homework and come up with the best proposal idea, you need to plan logistics.  This is the hard part and this is where you would seriously benefit from hiring a Proposal Planner.  You will need to figure out where you are going to propose and then think of everything that could go wrong so you can have a plan B to mitigate it.  What if it rains? What if you don’t have a permit and get kicked out of the venue? What is traffic makes you late?  You only have one chance to do this so make sure you think through everything and make it perfect.

If the thought of coming up with a unique and personalized proposal idea that will really impress her seems daunting, we can help.  We will work with you to come up with the proposal concept and then execute it perfectly so that you don’t have to feel stressed.  Contact The Heart Bandits today.
