Top 5 Custom Details for a Personalised Proposal
When it comes to proposing, the most important thing isn’t just the location or the ring (although they are both pretty important!)
It’s the thought that goes into making the moment unforgettable.
We don’t mean to scare you, but a proposal is a huge milestone for any couple - and hopefully something you will only do once. Adding personalised touches can make this magical moment even more special.
If you’re looking to create a proposal that truly reflects your relationship, we’ve put together some ideas for custom details you could add to make it super personal.
INCORPORATE SHARED MEMORIES
Whether emotional or fun, every relationship is filled with moments that you can both reflect on. So, why not use these memories as the foundation for your proposal?
How about a location that holds sentimental value? The place where you had your first date or where you first said ‘I love you’ and realised you wanted to spend the rest of your lives together?
If you want to go in further, you could take a trip down memory lane which leads to the proposal spot or even totally recreate your first date - same restaurant, same outfit. We love a full circle moment!
Take Rikki for example, he took Jess and their daughter Elsie back to Bournemouth where they met in 2011!
2. USE HOBBIES AND INTERESTS
Does your partner have any hobbies or do you share any interests that can bring you closer? If you both love hiking, what’s more perfect than a proposal up a mountain!
For the music lovers, how about a personalised playlist (or performance - did you know we do that?)
If you’re one of those adventure seeking couples, then you could plan a treasure hunt that leads them to the final destination - where you’ll be waiting to pop the question. Now that sounds super fun!
3. INVOLVE THEIR NEAREST AND DEAREST
If your partner is close to their family or you share a family pet, why not get them involved too? There’s nothing like a cute pooch in a dicky bow to make someone's heart melt (or is that just us?)
Attach a ‘Will you marry me?’ to your pets collar or arrange a family gathering which is disguised as a regular event and surprise your partner by popping the question in front of all the people they love.
4. CUSTOMISE, CUSTOMISE, CUSTOMISE
The two most important things when it comes to the proposal is the ring and the location. So, why not go one step further and customise the engagement ring with things such as birthstones or engravings?
Or you could propose somewhere that reflects your partner's personality. If they love art, propose in front of their favourite piece or if they are a lover of the ocean, why not propose on the beach - with a message in a bottle!
5. POST-PROPOSAL CELEBRATION
People often get so caught up in the proposal moment, which is totally fair enough, but planning a surprise post-proposal celebration really goes the extra mile. This could be a small gathering at home, a romantic dinner or a big celebration with family and friends. Adding a post-proposal celebration allows you to keep celebrating long after the ‘yes’ has been said!
You could arrange a videographer to capture the proposal so you can share the news at a ‘reveal’ party - oh by the way, did we mention we do that too?
MAKE IT UNIQUELY YOURS
Personalistion in any form, always shows people how much thought you’ve put into something. By incorporating shared memories, hobbies, family, and other unique details, you’re not just asking a question — you’re creating an experience!
Remember, there is no right or wrong way to propose. What matters most is that it reflects your relationship and feels authentic.
So, take a deep breath. When it comes to popping the question, the best proposals are those that come straight from the heart - you got this!
