Engagement : Quick Tips Archive

Quick Tip #48

When planning the proposal integrate some of your most memorable moments while keeping both of your personalities in mind to create a unique experience she will never forget.

Quick Tip #49

Cookie cutter proposals suck! Don't just ask her to marry you, spice things up a bit and tell her why you want to spend the rest of your life with her!

Quick Tip #50

Ask one of your boys to be available to take pictures/video of the proposal, your bride-to-be will thank you for having pictures of the big moment to show-off to all her friends and family!

Quick Tip #51

Don't buy the first ring you see! First decide how much cash you want to spend (one to two months salary is the suggested amount) then visit your local jeweler to begin looking and get an idea of what your money will buy.

Quick Tip #52

What's her ring size? Try asking a family member or close friend to find out her ring size. But no worries your jeweler will allow her to bring the ring back in for resizing once you have proposed!

Quick Tip #53

In most cases your wedding band will match her ring. Once her rings have been chosen it will be easier to select a ring that matches but is better suited for a more masculine profile.

Quick Tip #54

Remember the wedding band should compliment the engagement ring. Most brides will be happy to assist in this part of the process so don't hesitate to get her input.

Quick Tip #55

Immediately after you have purchased the engagement ring you need to get insurance on it. This will protect you if the ring is lost, stolen or damaged.

Quick Tip #56

Before insuring your new engagement ring you will need to get an appraisal on the ring. Use an independent appraiser instead of the jeweler that you purchased the ring from. This will ensure the information is unbiased.
