Talk To Your Partner
You probably want to keep your proposal a surprise, but that doesn’t mean that it should come completely out of the blue, so before you pop the question, make sure that you speak to them about the future. This way, you’ll know that she feels the same way that you do. You never know, this talk might even give you some ideas for the proposal.

Talk To Their Parents
Of course, you don’t need to ask parents’ permission to marry these days, but that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t speak to your partner’s mom and dad about your plans and see if they’re comfortable and happy. This just shows them that you respect their opinion, and is a really nice gesture if your partner is particularly traditional or is really close to her parents.

Buy The Perfect Ring
Once you’ve got the okay from loved ones, it’s time to start making some solid plans. One of the first things you’ll need to do is find the perfect engagement ring. Having your partner’s mom onside is a huge help here, as she’ll be able to talk to your partner and find out her size and the style of ring she likes best.

Make It A Surprise
As long as you know that your partner is ready for marriage, it’s always better to keep the actual proposal a secret, even if she’s not usually one for surprises. This company can help to arrange the whole thing and take photos discreetly from a hidden location. This means you’ll be able to capture the moment without it being ruined.

Make It Personal
The most important thing that you need to do is make your proposal all about your relationship. If there’s a location, song, or activity that’s important to you, then figure out a way to incorporate it into your plans. You should also try to avoid any cliches, like hiding the ring in food; It might seem like a fun idea now, but it can easily go wrong.

Remember To Celebrate
Unfortunately, your planning doesn’t end with your proposal; You’ve also got to celebrate with your family and friends. Of course, you may want to arrange an engagement party with your partner later on, but you should make plans to do something special with those closest to you as soon as you can.

There is no right or wrong way to plan a proposal, so try not to overthink it too much. As long as your partner can see how much you love her, then you’ve done great. Now all you’ve got to do is plan the wedding. Good luck! ​
