The decision to ask a loved one for their hand in marriage is one of life’s most consequential milestones. A proposal may fill you with nervous anticipation. With a bit of planning and some creativity, presenting an engagement ring to your future spouse will create a memory for life. Here are several ideas to consider before proposing.

4 Preparation Tips Before Proposing

1. Choose the Location

Make a list of places that have sentimental value to you and your fiancee-to-be. It can be at a coffee shop, on a college campus, or at a landmark in a city you’re both in love with. Consider a venue that will be a beautiful backdrop when you present an engagement ring.

2. Determine Public or Private

If an open proposal is your choice, site possibilities are endless. From a family holiday meal to a baseball stadium, determine whether you prefer a public or a private setting.

3. Decide Whether to Record

If you decide to record the proposal for posterity, enlist the help of a trusted friend or hire a professional photographer. If you collect still images or video footage, the occasion can be celebrated on social media. 

4. Think About the Timing

Will the engagement ring recipient expect the proposal in the evening after work? Or, will a proposal on a lazy Saturday afternoon be more of a surprise? Do the unexpected by choosing a time when they’ll least likely see the proposal coming.
