Oftentimes when we help guys create custom and unique proposal ideas, one of the biggest decisions that has to be made is whether the proposal will be public or private. Not only is that a big decision, but once that is decided, the guy needs to decide if his partner will be the focus of attention the day-of. Here are some things to consider if you are debating making her the center-of-attention during your engagement.
Should your partner be center stage during your proposal?
Is She Shy
This is one of the first questions you should ask yourself. Even if she is an outgoing person that still may not mean she likes attention and could still be shy when the attention is on her. If you’re fairly confident this isn’t the case, then you’ll be fine if your proposal focuses the limelight on her.
Is There Any Kind of Embarrassment She Will Feel?
Marriage proposals in public tend to draw a lot of attention and people watching. This isn’t necessarily a bad thing because people often cheer the couple on and love watching a huge moment in a couple’s life. However, if other people being there will make her feel embarrassed, do NOT go for this type of idea. Sometimes, even private proposals that focus attention on her (such as an idea with lots of her pictures around) may make her feel embarrassed. A good way to figure this out is if you’ve ever seen her speak in public. Does she dread it? Is she a complete wreck prior to it? Or is she super natural and has no problems with it? If she is really comfortable with it then you’ll be safe doing something with her receiving all the attention.
Will This Be A Good Story?
If you’re considering a proposal idea with your partner grabbing all the attention, then make sure that it will be a good story. You want to share this proposal story with your friends and family so if it’s something that will not be noteworthy consider doing something else. For example, having her get proposed to on the Jumbo Tron will NOT be a good story.
Are You Documenting This?
If you are putting you partner on center-stage and you are confident that she will not be bothered by it, make sure you document your proposal. If there are crowds around, then there will probably be people taking pictures anyway but it’s best to have a professional photographer or videographer do it so you can have high quality work to look at years down the road.
