Proposing on Your Anniversary

 

Every couple likes to celebrate their anniversary a little differently, but if you’re thinking of taking the plunge on that special date– you may want to pay attention to this advice! Here are three tips on how to make it special, unique, and most of all: a surprise!

1. Downplay it just right. Whether your anniversary falls on a Monday or a Saturday, make sure to downplay it a little. Tell her you’re excited to celebrate, but you hope she’s ok with minimalistic plans because you’ve been so swamped with this, that, or the other. However, don’t downplay it TOO much to the point where she’s in a rotten mood or just doesn’t want to celebrate because she doesn’t think you care.

2. Include others. Whether you just include them in a video, letting them know what you’re planning, or being there for the surprise itself– having your friends and family be a part of the big moment is special, because they’re going to be there the rest of your life. Also, surprises are hard to keep to yourself… so it’s good to have a confidante (or two) that you know will keep the secret but be excited with you.

3. Remember to celebrate your past as much as your future. Obviously, getting engaged is all about the next step: marriage. But don’t forget to celebrate the moments that you got there. After all, it’s your anniversary! You’re celebrating the time that you’ve spent together up to that moment, and therefore it’s just as important as the future you hope to have. You wouldn’t have that future without the past, the good and the bad– so make sure to let her know that!
