It’s one of the biggest moments of your life. Why should you care about other people when you’re proposing? Not only should you care – in some cases there are laws that have to be followed when you’re putting on any kind of public event. Being considerate of others and the space that you’re using is important not only for the public, but to show your partner that you care. Follow these public proposal etiquette tips when you plan a public marriage proposal so that everything runs smoothly.
Watch Out for Noise
Depending on how public your proposal is, you may need to worry about your proposal interfering with bystanders. This is something to consider if you are doing a Flash Mob, band, etc. Generally speaking, it is best to avoid creating a spectacle that causes significant noise, especially in a residential area. If your proposal will cause noise that travels beyond your immediate area, you may need permission from the authorities. Having police show up while you are proposing is not romantic. Be considerate – keep noise levels to a minimum. If you can’t, be sure to get permission from the powers that be.
Obstruction of Regular Activities
Will your proposal impede regular activities that other people are trying to do? For example, you’re proposing at Disneyland, and want to pop the question with the help of your partner’s favorite costumed character. Be aware that there is a line behind you of other people who also want a photo op. Don’t ruin an experience for other people with your public proposal. Think creatively to avoid obstructing regular activities. Be sure to follow all local laws – and if a permit is required, be sure to get one!
Clean it Up
If your proposal includes flowers, food, or other items, be sure to clean up after yourself. It may be best to hire a service that will take care of everything – just be sure that you don’t leave a giant mess for others to deal with. Be considerate by cleaning up.
Look Out For Other Proposers
If you see that there are other proposals set up where you are about to propose, find another location! You do not want to steal someone else’s thunder and propose to your partner while they are trying to propose to theirs. Also, it may your make your partner feel less special if other people are getting proposed to in the same area. Now what do you do if you have permission to set up the proposal in a specific area and you really can’t leave? In this case, you should talk to the other proposer. If they don’t have permission, they should leave the area and find a new proposal location.
