The proposal day is coming soon and you can’t stop stressing about it.  To ask someone to marry you is a big and important step and of course, it is normal to be nervous about it. But sometimes the proposal can go wrong because you were too stressed and the whole experience would not be as pleasant as you thought. In order to avoid it, you need to be calm and confident on your engagement day. Here are some tips on how to calm pre-proposal nervousness.

1. Keep your partner in mind

Most likely you already discussed the marriage with your partner, so you know that she loves you and wants to marry you. You asked her parents for blessings and are ready for a new chapter in your life. Keeping all that in mind would help you to focus on the experience and not the answer as you know that she would say ‘Yes’.

Very often girls were asking questions like ‘why were you nervous, you knew I would say ”yes” after the proposal’. So as soon as you start feeling jiggly and nervous, remind yourself that you already spoke about it before and you know that she will be so happy to finally be your wife.

2. Don’t compare your proposal to the others

This will be the hardest task as you probably saw your friends getting engaged, or saw pictures of the Instagram influencers doing elaborate proposals, and almost every movie has a stunning proposal scene. The most important thing here is to remember that your relationships are unique and there is no one else like you and your partner and there will never be another proposal like yours. Very often guys are getting caught in spending double what they planned on the proposal because they wanted the same things as someone they saw on Instagram or TV. Which leads to unrealistic expectations and overspending. So, set your budget, create your unique proposal idea, and do you.

3. Turn your nervousness into enthusiasm

This might sound like a ‘mission impossible’ scenario, but instead of stressing out about the moment, get excited about the life you will have together. In other words, concentrate on the bigger picture. You are stuck in traffic and running late to the proposal location, your family is texting you asking where you are at, and instead of stressing out about the things you can’t control, think of what a great story it will be to tell your kids about.

4. Talk to a trusted person

Sometimes the best way to calm the nerves would be by talking to someone you trust. It can be a friend or a family member or your proposal planner. Just tell them what bothers you the most and discuss your concerns. Very often men feel ashamed of being nervous and keep the emotions to themselves and that can really ruin the engagement experience as even after the proposal they look tense and nervous. So, just talked it out.

5. Be organized

If you are well organized and know exactly what you are going to do, you won’t be stressed out about the day and can actually enjoy the whole engagement experience. This means dont wait till the last minute to pick up the ring or check where the proposal location is or ask a friend to pick up the flowers. At least a week before the proposal everything needs to be planned and organized and of course ‘ life happens’ and there will be some last-minute difficulties, but at least do the basic preparation and check how to get to the proposal location and what is the parking situation around there. The more prepared you will be, the more confident and calm you will be on the proposal day.

There is a saying that proposal day is the “happiest day for women and most stressful day for men” and very often it is true and you need to remember that it is ok to feel nervous and anxious, but also remember that it doesn’t need to be like that. Be prepared, be confident and calm, and know that your partner loves you for who you are and would be happy to marry you no matter what.

The best way to make this day stress-free would be by hiring a proposal planner, who can plan the whole thing and you will just need to show up and enjoy the moment.

Winter in New York City can be tough outdoors. A hotel proposal can be your answer for a perfect affordable warm proposal. Hotels provide a very intimate setting where you can propose. They have stellar views to enjoy on your private terrace with your future partner and you both can stay over after the proposal to celebrate in a beautiful suite. Hotels also usually have an on -site restaurant to enjoy a good meal and they are great for engagement pictures with your New York proposal photographer. Here are some tips on how to have a flawless hotel room proposal!

What you need to know before booking a hotel:

Before you find the perfect hotel you need to see if they will be able to accommodate all your needs. You must check if they will allow a hotel room makeover in the room which includes rose petals, balloons,  led candles etc. You might want some family or friends there so you should check to see how many people you can invite in the room. You should also see if the outdoor terrace furniture will be allowed to be moved in order to create a beautiful proposal atmosphere outdoors. We can provide a romantic room set up for you that includes lots of romantic decorations for your hotel room once you pick the hotel of your dreams.

How to propose in the room:

A great hotel room proposal idea is to have a secret photographer to capture the proposal. You will want to propose on the terrace because it provides beautiful views and great photo opportunities that your New York proposal photographer will capture for you. You will not want to miss out on these memories! Another great hotel room proposal idea is to have the room decked out in romance! Swan towels on the bed, Rose petals all around the floor, Mini candles, balloons etc. You can also have room service and ice-cold champagne waiting for you and your future partner. You can’t go wrong with a hotel room proposal!

What to do after the hotel room proposal:

Hotels in New York are usually in good areas so after the proposal you can take a nice walk, celebrate and take engagement photos with your New York proposal photographer. For example, the Plaza Hotel is a great place for a hotel room proposal. It’s stunning on the inside and out, you can have a romantic room setup, they have a beautiful on-site restaurant and it’s close near Central Park for outdoor engagement pictures.

How to make your hotel room proposal a surprise:

Make sure you let the front desk know that there will be a proposal and someone will come to decorate the room. In this case friends, family, and the proposal team will get into the room while you out and transform it. All you will need to do is just to be back in the room on time and surprise your partner with the stunning proposal.
