How to Plan A Beach Marriage Proposal

With summer finally here it’s time to escape the city and head to the beach.  The sandy shores may seem like a family destination, but the beach is the perfect spot for a truly romantic marriage proposal.  If you’re planning on popping the question while waves crash behind you, here are a few tips and ideas to consider before sweeping your loved one away.

1. Choose your proposal time wisely.  Whether you envision a serene sunrise or a romantic moonlit engagement it’s important to know the high and low tides for the day.  No one wants to write a message in the sand and return to see that it has been completely washed away.  Also, it’s a good idea to choose a time of day when the beach is less crowded.

2. Use the surrounding natural elements.  Writing “Will you marry me?” in the sand or with sea shells is a cute and thoughtful way to propose to your loved one.

3. Create a unique experience.  Write a romantic message in a bottle and place it in a location on the beach beforehand or make a map that leads your loved one to a special buried treasure that you have hidden.

4. Sit down and relax.  Set up a beach picnic or a bonfire for the two of you to enjoy.  Either would make for a cozy and romantic beach marriage proposal.
