The One Thing You MUST Consider When Planning Your Proposal
Engagements are such a momentous occasion! They can be one of the most memorable days of a couple’s lifetime. They’re filled with anticipation for the future, romance and all of those bubbly feelings that made you fall in love with your sweetheart in the first place.
This is why it is so incredibly important to consider what you’re going to do after the fact. You want that euphoria to last all day long!
When I was proposed to, it was the most beautiful and absolutely special moment I could have ever imagined. However, my fiance didn’t plan anything afterwards. No champagne, no family members, no dinner. I was on a high from that intimate and special moment we had just shared and simply went back to our apartment afterwards.
Looking back, I would have loved to enjoy a celebratory dinner just the two of us somewhere special. Or maybe even with family and friends! To spend time with people sharing our joy and celebrating together.
There are so many fun ways to celebrate after proposing. You can plan something low-key or a big bash, but do something to celebrate the two of you saying yes to forever! Here are some fun ideas for planning a celebratory evening:
A Couple’s Celebratory Dinner
The simplest, and possibly most romantic of all, a celebratory dinner for just the two of you. Book a reservation at a gorgeous restaurant you know she’ll love! Maybe it’s on the water, maybe it’s a steakhouse, maybe it’s at a high-end hotel. A personal favorite would be a fondue restaurant. They’re so romantic!
Ask if there’s an engagement package or if they can make it special in any way. Rose petals, a private table, a bottle of champagne. Anything to make it stand out and make it truly unforgettable.
A Dinner with Family & Friends
Maybe you guys love socializing and want to celebrate with your closest family and friends. Plan a surprise engagement party after you propose. Have the location, food, and celebration planned out beforehand so you can take your new fiancé and surprise them with a great time!
Family and friends will love to celebrate with the two of you and your fiancé will be so excited to show off their new bling! This keeps the celebration going all night long!
A Dinner Cruise
Maybe you two like something romantic and love the ocean. A dinner cruise is a perfect way to celebrate your engagement then! There are sunset dinner cruises that are oh-so-romantic! You’ll get to see the sunset, enjoy some gorgeous scenery all while celebrating your love! They can make it extra romantic with champagne, rose petals and music to serenade the both of you!
Plan a night away!
If you’d like to enjoy some alone time, consider booking a hotel room! Most nice hotels have a restaurant so enjoy a nice celebratory dinner there and then go enjoy some champagne and chocolate cake in your room! It’s a perfect way to relax together, soak in the moment and celebrate all at once!
Hit Up the Town!
Take a drive around town and find a bar or spot you two love to frequent and enjoy some time together. Have your favorite drink and spend time together simply celebrating the both of you.
