What Not To Do

By: Heather | May 3, 2010

1. Ring in Food. Watch this proposal video and it will convince you. Most women like to be dressed up, feeling absolutely beautiful when you ask for her hand in marriage; covered in cake or digging for their gorgeous ring is not an ideal or cute situation. The final, perfect moment is seeing the engagement ring sparkling in the box, not covered in frosting.

2. Fortune Cookies. Sorry this is so overdone. Gentlemen we know you have the ability to be more creative than this. We saw a fortune cookie proposal in the movie “Bride Wars” and to put it lightly, the bride and groom did not work out.

3. Jumbo Tron. Unless your gal, paints her face and doesn’t miss a game, sporting event proposals can be iffy. You may be a huge sports fanatic, but is she? Try to think of an idea she would think is amazing too.

4. Proposing Over Dinner. Sorry but proposing over dinner is just not that romantic and probably the most predictable spot to propose. Again, you can be more creative than this.

Sorry gentlemen, we don’t mean to offend any of you, just trying to save you from cliché proposals. These are the big “don’ts” so if you stay far away from these, you are off to a good start.

Love,

Yes-Girls-Signature

About Heather

Heather Vaughn (Personal Google +)
CEO, Wedding and Proposal Expert

I started The Yes Girls after graduating from the University of Colorado at Boulder because I loved the idea of helping guys propose in completely personalized & romantic ways. Thankfully I am blessed to have my husband, Kyle, who always supports my passionate personality, no matter how extreme my ideas may be! Years later, I’m still hooked. A leap of faith and incredible clients turned this into the best job ever!
