The 3 P’s of Marriage Proposals

Asking someone to marry you is one of the biggest questions of your life, and hers. In order to make your proposal memorable, there are three simple steps to follow:

First, every proposal idea needs to be personalized. Whether she’s the adventurous type, the romantic type, or one that likes to be pampered, your proposal needs to fit her personality. If you opt to go with a proposal planner to help things go smoothly, make sure you add personalized touches to the proposal. Things that remind her of good times you’ve had, or things that will show her that you really did put thought into your proposal.

Second, every proposal needs to be planned.  Nothing is more frustrating than a proposal that goes completely wrong because something fell through. Before booking a trip, or making a reservation, you should think through exactly how you want the proposal to go. Once you have an idea, you need to start planning. Make sure you secure a reservation and check a couple days before the date to check that they still have you booked. If planning isn’t your thing, look into a proposal planner to help you work out the details. A proposal planner is very beneficial because it’s their job to make sure everything runs smoothly. They help you enjoy your proposal without worrying about the details.

Third, every marriage proposal should be practical. You don’t need to spend thousands of dollars just to get her to say yes. Breaking your bank account is not going to impress her. A thoughtful, romantic, and surprising proposal will be enough to take her breath away. If you do want to plan a big proposal for her that will cost a pretty penny, save up beforehand so that you still have money to start planning your wedding.
