1) Lets get Personal – Incorporating personal momentous and detail into your marriage proposal makes it that much more special and unique to you as a couple.  Check out Creating a Personal Marriage Proposal for the best ways to incorporate personal touches into your proposal.

2) Private vs. Public – It is important to think about what kind of marriage proposal your partner will want. If they are very outgoing and comfortable with PDA go for a public proposal in front of friends and family.  If your partner is more reserved and private about your relationship consider an intimate proposal with just the two of you.

3) Save the Date– The day you get engaged is one you’ll never forget, so why not choose a day that means something to you as a couple?  Whether it’s the anniversary of your first date or the day your parents got married 30 years ago, choosing a special date will make your proposal that much more meaningful.

4) Practice Makes Perfect– Proposing is no doubt one of the most nerve wracking things you will ever do, so don’t be afraid to prepare. Think about all the things you want to say and practice before hand so when the moment comes you can profess your love exactly as you imagined.

5) Stay Calm– When your proposal starts you might get anxious and being to clam up, but just remember to stay calm.  Don’t let your nerves get the best of you and rush through this momentous life event.  This is a moment that you want to savor and be present for, so keep breathing and take it all in.
