As a Proposal Planner at The Heart Bandits, I get asked to help make some difficult decisions.  One of the decisions that I help clients make a lot is whether they should propose in the city they live in or on a destination trip.  To help with that decision for future clients, I have decided to put together some points about proposing in either location. This should help you figure out where to propose.

Propose In The City You Live In

• You are more familiar with the area.  This is helpful if you are not hiring a Proposal Planner because you will already have good ideas for which venues may work for your proposal.
• You have memories here.  The city that you currently live in is likely to be the place where you have spent a lot of your time with your girlfriend making memories.  These memories will provide you with an ample amount of proposal ideas to chose from.
• It will cost less money than proposing on a destination trip.  Or another way to look at it is you will have more money to spend on the actual proposal vs including traveling costs.
• Your friends and family will be close by to help celebrate.  This could also be good if you need help with the actual proposal.

Propose In Destination City

• You will have the opportunity to propose somewhere new.  People love the thought of proposing somewhere exotic that is different than what they are used to on a day to day basis.
• The destination could make for great photos!  Depending on where you go, the proposal photos could come out phenomenal and quite different than they would if you proposed at home.
• You will be able to make new memories.
• It will be more expensive than if you proposed in your hometown.
• Depending on where you go, there could be language barriers and unfamiliar laws and customs.  That could be a huge problem if you are not hiring a Proposal Planner to help you plan the details.  The last thing you want to do is to get arrested during your proposal!  GASP!
