Text-able & Tweet-able Proposal Ideas

 

WARNING: I am not condoning proposing through text or Twitter. Please read the whole post. If someone proposes to you through text or Twitter– please don’t respond. That’s my personal opinion.

These days, communicating through social media and text messages is pretty much the norm. In fact, I honestly very rarely call people other than those I’ve had phone conversations with since I was little. I used to be a big letter- writer, and so now that we can do that through the form of some kind of screen, well… I digress.

MY POINT is that a lot of people tend to get their words down better than they can say them. If you’re one of those people, and you and your sweet-heart have communicated a lot through texts or tweets, here are two proposal ideas for you.

1. Love Story through Texts. If you haven’t saved all of your texts from your sweetie, and maybe that’s impossible, then start once you decide you’re going to propose. You can even prompt sweet messages by sending some yourself! Save all of your favorites and put them into some kind of journal or scrap book. You don’t have to include doodles or pictures but it’s a good idea to enhance the meaning of the texts. End this wonderful book/journal with a prompt to check her phone. You can THEN text, while you are in her presence, a Will You Marry Me? text. PLEASE do not do this unless you are RIGHT there and can be cute about it. As she’s checking her phone, get down on one knee with the ring.

2. I Tweeted You. I know Twitter is a big thing with a lot of people. If your relationship has been documented through these lines, use it to your advantage. ReTweet some of your favorite exchanges between you and your love to get her attention. Then start sending her wonderfully sweet things that could HINT that you’re getting ready to propose. Have these lined up and scheduled as you are driving to her house, or waiting outside her door. Then send her one that says to “check outside” or “turn around” or something along those lines that lets her know you’re near. Then you have two choices: just get down on one knee, or tweet a prepared picture of the ring to her and THEN get down on one knee.

Fun fact: Kristen Bell proposed to Dax Shepard via Twitter after the DOMA ruling last year.
