Make it personal<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is somewhat of a disclaimer and something to keep in mind when reading this list and with every piece of advice someone gives you on proposal planning. It will do you no good if you plan your beloved a Disney-themed getaway and castle proposal, like one you read about online, if they have no clue who Mickey Mouse is. Think about what your partner likes. Would they really enjoy a public proposal or a private one? Even the most extroverted person can prefer a low-key, just-the-two-of-you special moment. Take your time to decide the best proposal idea based on your partner and your love story! Plus, it might be less nerve-wracking if you know your partner will be more comfortable in a specific environment.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_1\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/proposal-planning-tips\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/i-Qb53wTg-X3-personal-in-hawaii-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-57419\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/destinations\/honolulu\/\"><strong>Photo: Flytographer in Honolulu<\/strong><\/a>. <em>Amy and partner celebrate an engagement in Honolulu with an engagement photoshoot on Kualoa Beach.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div id=\"DETAILS\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_4  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><b>2.

Unless it was a late-night pizza place, then in that case we suggest that you find a different (cleaner) sentimental spot. \ud83d\ude09<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_2\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/proposal-planning-tips\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/Planning-perfect-proposal-photographer-flytographer-2.jpeg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-88266\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_5  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><strong><a class=\"notion-link-token notion-focusable-token notion-enable-hover\" tabindex=\"0\" href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-lake-como-meet-mattia\/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-token-index=\"0\"><span class=\"link-annotation-unknown-block-id-697646084\">Photo: Mattia in Lake Como for Flytographer. <\/span><\/a><\/strong><em>Roland and partner celebrate a proposal in Lake Como with a proposal photoshoot in Varenna.<\/em><!-- notionvc: 0af822cb-7f74-4653-a0ce-50456273e5bb --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_3\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/gift-cards\/\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gift-Card-Graphic-WEBSITE-blog-desktop.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-88380\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_4\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/gift-cards\/\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/11\/Gift-Card-Graphic-WEBSITE-mobile-1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-88377\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"APPLICABLE\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_6  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><b>3.

Even if you plan nothing elaborate, telling your significant other why you love them and why you want to spend the rest of your life together is what they want to hear ALL ABOUT and one of the best proposal planning tips. So, think about it ahead of time, practice it aloud, even write it down and take it with you if needed. It doesn\u2019t have to be spontaneous to be romantic. And who doesn\u2019t love someone thoughtful enough to plan ahead?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_image et_pb_image_12\">\n<a href=\"https:\/\/flytog.me\/proposal-planning-tips\"><span class=\"et_pb_image_wrap \"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/05\/i-5Wgqcdp-X3-cape-town-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"auto\" width=\"auto\" class=\"wp-image-57290\"><\/span><\/a>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_15  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<p><b><a href=\"https:\/\/flyphotoprod.wpenginepowered.com\/vacation-photographers\/your-vacation-photographer-in-cape-town-meet-nadine\/\">Photo: Nadine in Cape Town for Flytographer.<\/a>&nbsp;<\/b><em>Kekoa and partner celebrate a proposal in Cape Town with a proposal photoshoot on Signal Hill.&nbsp;<\/em><!-- notionvc: 6398bac5-6bd5-425b-bea5-bc210decdd6b --><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p> <!-- .et_pb_text --><\/p>\n<div id=\"MOMENT\" class=\"et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_16  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light\">\n<div class=\"et_pb_text_inner\">\n<h2><b>8. Practice the proposal moment<\/b><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are two important motions to practice before the big day\u2014the knee lunge and opening the ring box! When deciding what to wear, make sure you do a few tests of kneeling down on one knee to see how it feels. Try out a few places to hide the engagement ring so you\u2019re ready for the moment and won\u2019t have any wardrobe malfunctions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The second most important proposal planning tip is to practice is opening the ring box. Picture this: You present the ring, but it\u2019s upside down and falls out of the box and into a street grate.
