There are moments in life that are truly filled with positivity, happiness, and love – and a proposal is one of those times. It can be something of a surprise to the person receiving it, or perhaps it’s been on the cards for a while and it was just a matter of when and where. Either way, as a couple, a proposal is a reason to celebrate and to do a lot of celebrating at that. With that in mind, here are some tips to celebrate a proposal.
Make Sure It Fits
Firstly, before you go showing it off to people, it’s important to make sure that the ring suits the wearer and that it fits properly. Sometimes, the person picking the ring might get the style of ring wrong, or maybe they’ve got the person a basic ring to have temporarily with the intention of going ring shopping. Everyone does it a little differently, and so it’s worth exploring what works best for you as a couple. If it’s time to go ring shopping, then make sure it’s a priority. Decide on what the ring should look like and what style you’re going for if you’re the one wearing it. Whether it’s an Oval Engagement Ring or a square one, there are lots of choices out there.
For ring sizes, not everyone who proposes will know the ring size of their partner. And with that being said, it tends to be a guestimate which can sometimes be way off the mark. You should take the time to get it re-sized before you go showing it to people and wearing it on a permanent basis. You don’t want it falling off and finding that you’ve lost it!
Have A Date Night
A date night can be a great opportunity to really celebrate the proposal and for it to just be the two of you. For some, the day of the proposal is a special one, and so you’re likely going to want to spend the rest of the day, basking in the love together, alone. So as soon as you’ve proposed, make sure you’ve got somewhere booked to have a celebratory dinner. Word of a proposal in any establishment will probably get you a free drink or dessert, so make sure you make it known that you’re celebrating an engagement. Well, if you don’t ask, you don’t get, right?
Throw A Party
Depending on how you want to celebrate, you might wish to throw a party so that all of your friends and family can celebrate the engagement with you. Some even have multiple parties! When planning a party, make sure you sort out a guest list before sourcing a venue. You don’t want to find your perfect venue and then find you wanted to invite more than the place would hold. At an engagement party, you’ll usually find a photo booth, perhaps a cake, and some various bits and pieces to help further capture the evening. Make this evening a chance to have fun and celebrate with your loved ones. It’s important that they share this special moment with you too.
Go On Vacation
If you really want to go all out, then it might be worth throwing caution to the wind and treating yourself to a vacation. It could be a mini weekend away, or you might want to take the whole week off and fly to somewhere exotic. It’s worth treating yourself because hopefully, this is something that only happens once in your life. Consider what type of vacation you want to go on and make sure you’re going away as a couple to really enjoy a romantic trip together without having to be wary of anyone else on the trip. There are plenty of romantic-worthy destinations that are perfect when you’re celebrating an engagement.
Capture It With A Photoshoot
And finally, if you’re someone who loves pictures and capturing memories, then an engagement photoshoot is certainly something worth having. You could time it to be done during and after the proposal itself, or you could create a theme for the photoshoot somewhere further down the line. Whether you do it just the two of you, or with other friends and family is completely up to you. However, the end result is that you’ll get some beautiful photography that is going to be great to look back on in years to come.
A proposal is something worth celebrating, so make sure you make the most of it!
