Top 7 Types of Marriage Proposals To Avoid

You’ve all seen them and undoubtedly, you’ve probably cringed when you heard about them. What are they? They are the bad marriage proposals. When you hear that someone recently got engaged, it should be a happy time, not a time when you’re wondering “What were they thinking?!”  With the internet being so accessible, people tend to search for the easy solution and that can often lead to a generic or bad proposal idea. So today, we are going to tell you the Top 7 Types of Marriage Proposals To Avoid. They’re not pretty, so do yourself and your future a favor and PLEASE avoid these:

The Jumbotron Proposal

What can be said about this proposal that isn’t already self explanatorily bad?  First of all, there’s a chance that your partner doesn’t even like the sport and that they are only there for you.  Second of all, the vibe is wrong.  Your partner’s feet could get stuck to the ground because of dropped nachos, everyone is noisy, they may not even see the jumbotron, etc.  Lastly, it’s a lot of public pressure to propose to someone in front of a stadium full of people.  We recommend avoiding this type of proposal at all cost.

Ring In Champagne Glass

It’s really cliche and we don’t really understand why it’s been done so much.  The ring should be presented in a nice and classy way by you while you are on one knee.  NOT in a potentially dangerous situation where she might choke on it.

While Getting Out Of Bed

As a team of husband and wife Proposal Planners, we know what it is like to wake up next to the person you love and feel like you just can’t live without them.  But urge the resist to tell them and pop the question in this scenario.  Most people do not want to be proposed to with morning breath or in their pajamas. For such a life changing moment, it is likely that they would like to look their best when they are proposed to.

Proposing Over the Phone Or Internet

There are only very minor exceptions to this, but for the most part you want to be physically there and make it romantic and special.  You don’t want an email emoticon showing your excitement.

Proposing On A Dessert Plate

I am sure you have seen pictures of a cheesecake being brought out with the words “Will You Marry Me?” written in chocolate.  Honestly, there really just isn’t a reason to propose with such a lack of creativity these days.  You can buy a proposal package which will be much more impressive or even plan a proposal on your own.  But you must plan something!

Proposing Without A Ring

We absolutely discourage proposing without a ring. We understand that if you are traveling to another country, you may not want to bring your expensive engagement ring with you. We also know that some proposers want to take their partner shopping so they can pick out the engagement ring together.  And all of that is fine.  But at least propose with a place holder ring.  It just kind of makes the moment feel more real and also will be better for photos.

With Someone Else’s Ideas

Another big no-no is copying someone else’s proposal.  Of course it is ok to use similar elements like rose petals, candles, etc.  But it is a little strange to just replicate someone’s proposal that they created to resonate with their parter.  It is better for you to work with an experienced Proposal Planner like The Heart Bandits to come up with a proposal that will be meaningful to your partner.
