THE PERFECT PROPOSAL
You've found the right person. You've found the right ring. Now you have to find the right moment to pop the question.
So how do you make your proposal turn out flawlessly? We have plenty of tried-and-true tips to help you, but overall, it all comes down to just one thing: effort. Putting in real effort, thought and love into your proposal makes all the difference. Remember, your proposal doesn't have to change the world. It just has to show your partner that they mean the world to you.
Tips for The Perfect Proposal
Here are a few tips that will help you along the way:
PEACE-OF-MIND
Do your homework before buying the engagement ring. Most importantly, find a jeweler you trust. And, since you’re making such a big investment, make sure you insure the ring as soon as you purchase it. Your knowledgeable jeweler should be willing and able to discuss this with you. One option is that you may be able to insure it for an additional cost under your homeowner's or tenant’s insurance policy.
KNOW THE ANSWER
Your proposal should be surprising, but it shouldn't come directly out of left field. Before you pull a ring out, have a good idea how your partner will respond. "Will you marry me?" shouldn't be your first discussion on the subject.
RULES OF THE ENGAGEMENT (RING)
Here’s where a little bit of effort goes a long way. The history of the diamond as an engagement ring first became popular in the 1930’s, but the idea of an engagement ring has been around for centuries.
If you’re still deciding on a diamond engagement ring, consider doing some window shopping with your partner prior to making a purchase. If you want to keep things more secretive, talk to your partner’s friends and family to get a feel for their taste. Another option is to use a stand-in ring for the proposal. Perhaps you can use their great grandmother’s diamond engagement ring, and then take your partner shopping later. (A trusted jeweler can tell you everything you need to know about how to buy a diamond and will take the time to help educate both of you).
ASK PERMISSION, NOT FORGIVENESS
Before you take a knee, take the time to speak with your partner's parents first. Asking permission is a tradition carried since the Roman times, and it’s a great way to make a good impression on your future in-laws.
BE CREATIVE
This is your chance to shine. A good Jeweler should have several ideas that will help you to be creative when "popping the question". You could also use modern technology for a Twitter proposal. You might also consider proposing by sending her a text when she’s right next to you. Imagine the huge smile that will light up her face when she reads the best text she’s ever received! No matter what you do, just put your heart into it.
CELEBRATE
You did it! Consider toasting your engagement with a night on the town, a glass of bubbly or a celebration with friends and family.
