With all the technology it’s hard to decide what’s ok and what’s not for a proposal. So if you want to use an app for your proposal, here are my personal thoughts on this subject.
Snapchat
Not only will this picture not be there incredibly long, but it’s not a very reliable way to propose. Yes, odds are, she’ll see it– but how does she know you’re being serious? Even with a proposal holding a ring she could take it as a joke, and I’m not sure that’s how you want your proposal story to go. This is a Nay. However, if you are spending time together and she’s on her phone– this would be a fun way to surprise her. Go in the other room, take a picture of you with the ring, and send it to her. When you hear her gasp, or maybe just hear the notification go off on her phone, come into the room and do the real this. This would be a YAY!
I, personally, absolutely love Instagram. I’m a huge photo person– and I have to admit to take the occasional selfie. Still, to send a picture out into the void that she may not see (unless you use the feature to send it directly) seems risky. I am personally of the opinion that things are always done best if done in person, even though I love Instagram to pieces. However, I’m voting YAY to Instagram. If she loves pictures, and you know she’s going to say yes– sending a direct picture or telling her to check her feed is romantic. Just make sure you’re waiting on her doorstep or close to where she is so you can do a “real” proposal in person as well.
What are your thoughts on social media proposals?
