Ready to plan your surprise proposal? Here are some tips and ideas for planning your surprise proposal in Washington DC!
Select a special location to propose:
Consider choosing a location that has meaning to you as a couple: perhaps the place you first met, location of your first kiss, or a place you visit often. This could be a restaurant, a park area, a coffee shop you go to often etc.
A destination surprise proposal is always fun. Perhaps there is a place you’ve always wanted to visit as a couple. During a weekend trip might be the perfect opportunity to propose and make a memorable trip. Washington DC is a popular location for a weekend trip and a proposal at the monuments would be a great option!
Based on the season you may consider different options. During the winter perhaps an indoor location, an ice skating rink, or a festive location might be a fun idea! During the spring perhaps a garden or park with blooms might be beautiful. In DC Cherry Blossoms around March & April are popular!
Selecting a Date:
The date of your anniversary for your relationship, a birthday or any date that has personal meaning is a great option!
Weekend dates are most popular to pair with plans for after the proposal. Keep in mind that weekends book up quickly with photographers so it’s recommended to plan ahead!
Be flexible on date - consider having a backup date if you want to avoid bad weather.
Create your Game-plan:
Book a surprise proposal photographer or proposal planner who has worked with many proposals before to offer planning and advice.
Decide how you are going to ask the question and other details. Are you going to include flowers or music? Are you going to invite any family to be there to celebrate and witness? Do you have plans for dinner or celebrating afterwards?
Have a back up plan in case of bad weather
