Valentine’s Day Proposals

Did you know that Valentine’s Day is one of the most popular days for marriage proposals? In fact, a staggering 6 million people get engaged on February 14th every year. Who can blame them, it’s one of the most romantic days of the year with a long and storied history dating back to ancient Rome. While candy and flowers may be the most popular gifts on Valentines, an engagement ring is the thing that will turn this popular holiday into one your partner will never forget.

If you’re prepared to take that next big step in your relationship, Valentine’s Day is an opportunity to show that special someone how important they truly are with a proposal and engagement ring. You can of course spend Valentine’s Day chilling with Netflix and then casually pop the question, but why not go a little bigger and make your proposal memorable and unique! So, what are some fun ways to pop that big question?

RECREATE YOUR FIRST DATE

There’s nothing more romantic than recreating your first date for your Valentine’s proposal. Surprise your partner by planning the same activity or booking the restaurant you first went to (get a private space where you can get down on one knee). Use some of your memories of your first date in your proposal speech for added nostalgia that will hit your partner right in the feels.

ASK IN PRINT

An oldie but a goodie, have your Valentine’s proposal message printed in the newspaper and leave it open where your partner will find it. Not only will it be a total surprise, it will also make a great keepsake to show to the grandkids.

LEAVE A TRAIL

Wait for your S.O to return from work and greet them with candlelight, romantic music and a trail of rose petals (or their favorite sweets!) leading to you waiting with the ring. Set up a tripod and leave your camera on a timer, so you can capture the moment they walk in and discover you!

MINI VACATION

If you’re still recovering from the holiday season, why not skip the crowded restaurants and expensive gifts and take a mini-vacation to celebrate Valentine’s Day? You can surprise your sweetheart with a spontaneous, romantic weekend in a quaint Airbnb at a destination of your choice. Find the right opportunity to execute your perfect proposal, and turn what was originally a surprise weekend getaway into a proposal story to share with loved ones upon your return.

BOOK AN APPOINTMENT AT THE JEWELER

If you’re keen for your partner to choose their own engagement ring, why not book a surprise shopping trip at the jewelers on V-Day? Just ask them to meet you at a nearby coffee shop and then guide them to the store to select the ring of their dreams! We can schedule an appointment with you for custom engagement ring design consultations and would be happy to help with any questions you may have.

Happy Valentine’s Day! We can’t wait to hear your proposal stories!
