Marriage Proposal Tips

Proposal Tips

If you are planning on proposing to your special someone, consider the following tips we've collected from the most experienced marriage authorities of all: our married customers!

Talk About Your Future

Although it's nice to keep the proposal a surprise, you don't want it to be a frightening shock. Have a conversation about your future. Talk about the idea of marriage and children. Be certain that this is something you both want.

Make it Special

Marriage is a big deal and proposals are emotionally charged. Show how deep your love is by making your proposal intimate and memorable. Invest some time into planning it right. It doesn't have to be extravagant, but it should be special. Consider your loved one's style and plan accordingly. You want to orient the proposal to their tastes, whether they are Adventurous, Culinary, Romantic, or Sporty. To help you brainstorm, Zoara invites you to browse our collection of Proposal Stories submitted by people just like you.

Consider the Ring

While some couples choose to pick out the engagement ring together, others prefer taking a more traditional approach. Whatever you do, make sure that you put plenty of thought into the ring. If you want to keep the ring a surprise, we suggest you try as best you can to get an idea of your loved one's taste and style before Making The Purchase. Consider the different Diamond Shapes, the various Precious Metals and the wide array of setting designs, and settle on the one that fits their unique and personal taste. Don't forget to order the right Ring Size.

How to Find His or Her Ring Size Discreetly:

• Ask friends or family. It shouldn't be too hard for them to find out his or her ring size in a subtle or discreet manner.

• Find a ring that he or she owns and measure the ring, or simply take it to your jeweler to have it measured.

• Make an educated guess. Women have an average US ring size of 6-8 and men have an average US ring size of 10. Almost any ring made out of gold, platinum, or silver can be resized. In fact, many jewelers offer a period of one to two months after purchase during which they will resize the ring free of charge. If your Zoara ring isn't the perfect fit, just send it back and we'll be happy to resize it for you free of charge. Please visit our Return Policy for more details or Contact Us directly.
