When it comes to marriage proposals, many of us have images in our heads that we know from Hollywood: Big tatataaaa - lots of tears - rose petals – something like that.

However, in order to plan your own marriage proposal, it is way more important to break away from movie images and focus entirely on the two people that the proposal is for: Your partner and you!

Our 5 marriage proposal tips can help you with this…

1- 💘 What makes you different as a couple? 💘

When you think of your partner, let’s give it a thought...

  • What really makes his or her heart jump?

  • What makes him/her feeling special and above all: What makes you special as a couple?

If you ask yourself these questions, you have already implemented the first of our engagement tips, because: By answering these questions, you can often already see the direction in which your proposal will lead you.

2- 🏰 Your top location 🏰

Think about which place or setting suits you two best. When you imagine your proposal:

  • Where do you see yourself?

  • How's the atmosphere?

  • Are you…. Inside or outside?

  • Cozy in a hotel room?

  • In a restaurant or another special location?

  • By the lake, a secret lagoon, cenote, the beach, on a plane or by candlelight?

The point here is not that it should be particularly cool or unusual, but that the location suits you well and you simply feel comfortable.

3- 👨‍❤️‍👨 Togetherness or "in a big group"?

It can be the two of you – or with friends and family.

Here, for example, it is also a possibility that you are alone for the proposal and your loved ones then surprise you to click glasses. 🎊 The rule is: Do whatever feels right for yourself and for the two of you! After all, it's your special moment.

4- How do I find the right words? 💬

Realize that you don't have to say anything. Sometimes a picture or a gesture says more than 1000 words. 🌹 However, if you want to say something and would like some support here, then take a look at our blog post "The Right Words". Here you will find ideas for a possible structure with concrete examples of wording. Either way, it's always best when it comes from the heart. ❤️ Trust your gut feeling!

5- Engagement ring 💍

Here, too, the first thing you have to think about is: is there an engagement ring at all. And if so - what kind? Here you will find tips for a modern engagement ring. You will also need his or her ring size. The best way to do this is to "kidnap" a ring that is already being worn and find out the right size. Are you proposing in Berlin? Then please let us know if we can support you with the implementation and preparation! ❤️ Above all, it remains to say: Enjoy it! ❤️.


Love,
