Top 10 tips for the perfect Christmas proposal
Anyone who's ever been proposed to will know that the memory of that moment will last a lifetime; however planning the perfect proposal at this time of year can be so overwhelming (and expensive) that the end result is never how it was intended to be. The charming lads behind new app, AsQ, (a new app designed to make light work of sourcing trades people and services) are offering their advice on how to make sure a festive proposal goes down in history.
According to a survey by chillisauce.co.uk, Christmas Eve is the most romantic day of the year, and the most popular day for men to propose. In fact, 24% of men will choose to pop the question on Christmas Eve this year.
Imran Arif co-director at said, "Trying to find a way of saying those four little words can seem like one of the most difficult tasks in the world. The pressures of getting it right at this time of year adds no end of extra stress too. No matter how well you think you have planned it, you probably missed something! Then there is the budget. You want the best for your partner, but everyone has their limit".
Here are Imran and Irfan Arif's top 10 tips for the perfect proposal:
"First and foremost, it's really important to be realistic about your budget for a proposal. At Christmas time, costs can creep up on you. It's more than likely that the ring has already cost a lot of money - don't add too much to the top of that cost if you can't afford it"
"Another thing that we think is equally as important, if not most important, is to check your partners boundaries. Would they be happy with an extravagant public proposal? Be careful not to spend all of your budget on a public proposal if you know they will be standing, with you on one knee, cringing at the thought of all of those eyes on them. You don't want to be known as the one who ruined Christmas!"
"Get some tips from their family, or close friends. They may have discussed their ‘perfect proposal' with them in the past."
"Choose a location that has a meaning for the two of you. This could be somewhere you met, had your first date, or even your favourite walking spot. At this time of year, think about the practicality of wet weather, or even snow."
"Have a speech prepared. Keep it concise, and speak from the heart. Having it on a nice piece of paper or a sweet little card will make it easier for you, and will help to prevent you stumbling your words. As an extra little bonus, you can frame the speech and give it as a little wedding present the morning of your wedding!"
"Capture your special moment by hiring a professional, discreet photographer. You will want to look back at this day with pride"
"If you are looking at a public proposal, ensure that family and friends are there to share the moment with you. They could even get involved in a flash-mob - you just need some simple choreography"
"You can never go wrong with flowers. Arrange a florist to decorate your proposal spot in advance. Bonus points for remembering their favourite flowers!"
"Don't forget to ask for their parents blessings! It seems a little clichéd, but it shows that you have gone the extra mile"
From florists to photographers, choreographers to event planners - the brotherly duo behind AsQ believe that making the second biggest day of your life last forever can be simple. With local vendors rolling out offers at this time of year, it's especially important to get exactly what you are asking for. If you are struggling to find the help you need, just ‘AsQ the app'!
Imran concluded, "You don't need to break the bank for the perfect proposal. It just needs to be personal, and a reflection of your relationship. The festive period is the most magical time of the year - make sure it is magical for your partner too. AsQ can help you get in touch with local service providers to assist with your proposal and enable you to negotiate with them to help you stay within your budget".
