Once you have decided to propose to your partner, you then also have to plan how you will pop the question! Some take a \u2018go big or go home\u2019 approach when it comes to proposing and they want as many people there as possible. If this sounds like you and you\u2019re planning a public proposal \u2013 keep these dos and don\u2019ts in mind.<\/p>\n

Do: Consider if a public proposal is what your partner would want<\/h2>\n

Yes, this is your proposal too, but since it is them you are surprising \u2013 it’s a good idea to do something they are comfortable with. If your partner is a little shy and doesn\u2019t enjoy being the center of attention, maybe plan the big Q for a more intimate setting.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Steal the spotlight<\/h2>\n

While proposing at a family gathering seems like a great idea, if that gathering is already celebrating someone else \u2013 hold off. Popping the question in the middle of your sister\u2019s graduation or your Uncle\u2019s 60th may not be as welcome as you think.<\/p>\n

Do: Hire a photographer<\/h2>\n

Having someone there to capture the moment is a great idea and something the two of you will cherish forever.<\/p>\n

Don\u2019t: Wing it<\/h2>\n

Even if your partner would love a public proposal \u2013 deciding to do it at a restaurant, beach or park isn\u2019t enough. You need to have a backup plan incase something goes wrong. Parks close, beaches can be stinky and weather is always looming. Have a back up plan!<\/p>\n

Do: Talk to venue ahead of time<\/h2>\n

Letting the restaurant or venue staff know that you\u2019re planning on proposing goes a long way in ensuring your proposal goes off without a hitch. They will go the extra mile to give you a good table, or let you know if there is a rowdy group planning the attend the same time as you so you can plan accordingly.<\/p>\n
