1. Make Sure Your Partner Is Ready to Marry You

​

Before you even start planning a marriage proposal, it's important to make sure you both have marriage in mind. Talk to your partner about the future. If you'd like, ask a mutual close friend for help to find out how he or she views marriage with you. I hope that you will have an idea of what your partner will say when you open that ring box so that the event you have so eagerly planned does not end in a smash.

​

2. Buy the Right Ring

​

An engagement ring is a piece of jewelery your partner will wear every day for the rest of their life, so figure out what they truly love. Track the jewelry she wears every day, browse her Pinterest boards, or get help from a close friend or family member. When it comes to jewelers, get recommendations to make sure you're shopping at a trusted store that offers great reviews and service. Learn the ring sizes. If it's not a secret, just ask.

If you're planning a surprise, check your partner's jewelry. Find a ring she wears regularly (and note which finger she wears). Then either bring it with you to a jeweler or mark how much it fits on your own finger. Most jewelers can give a good estimate of the ring size based on your partner's height and weight, but be cautious and don't forget to ask for an exchange card when buying.

​

3. Be Personal

​

Now that you have a ring, it's time to plan a marriage proposal. Consider the type of proposal your partner will love, whether it's a grand gesture, an intimate moment, or a surprise surrounded by family and friends. Whatever your budget, focus on a beautiful, emotional spot where you can dazzle. Find a cool space that means something to him. It might even just be your cozy living room, but decorate it with tons of candles and completely change the feel of the space.  Avoid one-size-fits-all ideas.

​

4. Get Help from a Professional

​

You know your crush best, but sometimes getting some help will relieve your stress. Organization firms take care of everything; Know that such luxury will cost you dearly, but there is always a plan that fits your budget. With the help of a company, you can stay calm and sane and enjoy this moment because it is a big moment for you too.  

​

5. Take Notes

​

Take some time to write down what you want to say. It's wise to get your thoughts on paper and pre-prepare, you can get excited when it's time to ask the question, a pre-made preparation will calm you down.  Of course, at the end of the sentence, it will be, "Will you marry me?

​

6. Keep the Ring Safe

​

Keep it safe from the moment you buy the ring. Get insurance and  Find a safe place to store the ring until it's time to propose. When you're ready to bid, security still matters. Make sure the ring is securely in a zippered pocket or box, within easy reach without dropping it.

​

7. Must Have A Photographer On Hold

​

Whether you hire a professional or trust a friend and their iPhone, your fiancée-to-be will love you even more for finding someone to document the event. If your partner has no idea about the future of the proposal, definitely tell them to get their instant reaction.

​

8. Be Flexible

​

  Don't rush the offer just because the sun is setting or dinner is almost over, just wait until the moment is really right. And if you've planned something a little more modest, if your girlfriend is stressed out from work or the weather isn't warming enough, it might make more sense to wait a few days.

​

9. Don't Hurry

​

Now you are ready to ask the question! When that moment comes, take a deep breath, kneel down, and give the emotional speech you've probably rehearsed many times.  Give your partner some time, give him enough time to rejoice/cry/hug.
