When people think about the ways to propose, they often just think about the proposal idea only up to the part that they pop the question. Many times they don’t bother to think about what to do after they propose. Sometimes the proposal leads the way because of all the emotions involved but it’s a good idea to plan to have a way to celebrate after the proposal. Below are some good suggestions.

Champagne and Desserts

The ultimate way to celebrate. Nothing says something good has happened than a bottle of bubbly. Mix champagne with some desserts like strawberries or cupcakes and you have the perfect way to celebrate your engagement.

Photo Shoot

As always, you should document your proposal. Oftentimes your photographer remains discreet up until you propose. After you propose however, it’s fair game to do what you like. Many couples like taking photo shoots after their proposal to capture that moment and to also use those photos for their wedding date announcements or actually at their wedding.

After Party with Friends and Family

To really celebrate your engagement, you can have an after-party. This can be at a restaurant, lounge, bar, or even at your house. Have your friends and family waiting at this location so you can officially be greeted and congratulated. Trust me, it will be a great feeling and everyone will cheer you on.

Weekend Getaway

If you want something more intimate with your partner, you can always celebrate with a weekend getaway before you announce your engagement. This will give you time to reflect on your proposal and to look forward to your future life together.

It’s best to have your proposal idea planned from the beginning to the end. Many people miss important steps in their proposal planning and their engagement ends up not being all that it could have been. Don’t let this happen to you!
