Should you ever propose virtually?

Believe the hype; proposals are a big deal. Getting down on one knee and asking someone to marry you is in fact one of the most important questions that you’ll ask in your life. If you’re reading this, you’re probably ready to take this big step. 

So you’ve got the perfect engagement ring, you’ve thought about your intentions, and you’re ready to pop the question. The problem is that you and your girlfriend aren’t in the same place. 

This has been a common problem faced by couples all over the world over the last few years, begging the question; Should you ever propose virtually? 

Should I propose virtually?

The short answer is yes. If possible, an in-person proposal will of course be more romantic, but as the saying goes, desperate times call for desperate measures. So, if proposing virtually is your only option, then you definitely should. 

The key is to make your virtual proposal as special as you can! To help, here are some great ideas for your virtual proposal. 

The Distance Dinner

Proposing at a restaurant is a very popular way to pop the question, but did you know that you can create this experience virtually? 

There are two ways you can go about this. The first is to tell your partner that you’d like to do a romantic dinner virtually. Ask them to set up their dining table and surrounding area as romantically as possible – think candles, music, etc. Get them to dress up and set up their laptop or phone so you can face each other while you eat. We recommend ordering her favorite takeaway too (provided it isn’t fast food). 

The other option is to enlist the help of the people she lives with. Have them get her out of the house, and set up the romantic environment as a surprise. They could also say they’re doing a dress-up night at home for fun to minimize suspicion. 

For an extra touch, we recommend that you’re ready and waiting on the laptop for when your partner walks in. 

The Virtual Quiz

Virtual quizzes became a popular way to pass the time over the pandemic. If done right, they are also a great way to propose virtually – especially if you want to include your friends and family. 

If you want to keep the surprise, hire a quiz host or enlist the help of a trusted friend. We can’t stress enough that you keep this close to your chest (the more people who know, the more likely it is that the surprise will be spoiled). 

Have the host work the question “Will you marry me (insert name)”, and have the ring and some music ready too. We’re sure there’ll be plenty of cheering and clapping from everyone on the quiz. 

The Surprise Package

Everyone loves surprises right? Well, there are few better surprises than stunning Valentina Engagement Rings. Organize the ring to be delivered to your partner’s house and instruct that there is a package coming for them and they are not to open it until they’re on the phone with you. 

Then, as they open it, you can pop the question! 

Closing Thoughts

If you plan on proposing virtually, all you need is some creativity and organization to make it truly special!
