Five Mistakes to Avoid When Proposing

Congratulations on reaching this step! Let's give your partner the proposal they've been dreaming of! Even though the proposal moment might be short and sweet, it still needs preparation and careful planning in order to go off without anything going wrong. We assure you a little bit of preparation can go a long way to create that picture-perfect moment that you'll cherish forever.

Here are a few things to avoid when you pop the question:

Involving too many people

The desire to involve as many people as possible in the planning of a public proposal leads to plenty of challenges. Since there are more people to talk to about your plans, organizing can be a hassle. In a public environment, its more difficult to control the environment around you.

Not practicing the speech

There are times when things appear better in theory than in practice. So that you are aware of the main points you want to make in your speech, practice what you will say before the big question.

Being too nervous

A marriage proposal typically leads to strong emotions. You are likely to be nervous but learn to regulate your emotions before the big day. Too much anxiety can cause significant mistakes, such as forgetting the ring or forgetting what to say.

Following a trend instead of personalizing

What may seem 'cool' to you may be completely the opposite for your partner. Also, keep in mind your personality as a couple. A public proposal might not be the best choice if you are not ready to pop the question in front of a crowd, strangers filming you on their phones, and them congratulating you after. Make sure you both have a good time. A marriage proposal is a wonderful occasion, and this day will always be remembered.

Not documenting the proposal
