As if proposing isn’t already a huge deal, proposing to a long-distance significant other is even greater, because it signifies your lives finally merging. Like any great proposal, the most important step is getting to the actual proposing, which may be even more difficult if you’re living hundreds or thousands of miles apart! We’ve come up with a few tips to help you brainstorm your perfect “long-distance proposal.”
5 Ways to Propose For Long Distance Relationships:
- Surprise her in her own town: On a weekend when you know she doesn’t have plans, take a trip to her town and surprise her. Hint: It would be easier to have family or friends in on it, to make sure she keeps her day free and that she’s looking decent for the proposal! You can organize the proposal at your partner’s favorite spot so it really feels like home. Set up picture frames displaying favorite texts, photos, trips from doing long distance. Here is some decor options for your set up.
2. Plan a trip for her to come to your town: If you’re states away, buy her a plane ticket and plan an itinerary for you two to explore your town. Have a surprise proposal planned at one of your favorite locations.
3. Meet in the middle: Find the halfway point between your town and hers, and tell her to meet you. Have the proposal already set up, and celebrate how far you have come in your relationship and the miles between you. For couples that like new adventures, you can choose a location you’ve never been and work with vendors local to that city to have the surprise waiting when you arrive.
4. Take a vacation: Who doesn’t love a vacation? It gives you the chance to unwind and feel romantic, and also spend time together that’s so precious in long-distance relationships. If she is all out QT, this is ideal. It removes you both from the everyday grind and allows you two to just focus on each other. Need some travel themed decor?
