Do think about getting parent's blessing. You're not looking for permission, but it shows respect and sets the stage for a good relationship with your future in-laws... |
|
Do select a location that has some significance to the two of you, such as where you first met, had your first date, first kiss, first "I Love You", you get the point... |
|
Do incorporate details that show you pay attention. Favorite flowers, food, song, etc... |
|
Do take advantage of your moment of greatest impact. Pop the question before they see it coming... |
|
Do drop to bended knee. It may sound corny, but it adds impact... |
|
Do have a contingency plan in case your proposal doesn't happen exactly the way you planned... |
 |
Don't tip your hand by asking her questions regarding her ring size or trying to measure it in her sleep. Take one of her rings to the jeweler and they will be able to estimate the size... |
|
Don't hide the ring in food. Many of these proposals are followed by a trip either to the dentist or emergency room... |
|
Don't make your proposal too complicated. The more involved it is, the more likely something will go wrong... |
|
Don't propose how you would want to be proposed to, propose the way she would want you to. The scoreboard at a football game won't mean much to her if she's not a sports fan... |
|
Don't get so caught up in the details that you don't get to enjoy the moment... |
|
Don't be too obvious. If you never take her out in a limo, she's gonna be suspicious if you show up at the front door with one...
