1. Keep your cover story short and sweet
You’ll need to tell your partner a white lie or two to get them to the proposal location, without revealing a proposal is about to happen. It's important to tell your partner a story to keep the proposal a surprise. Don't try to create an elaborate cover story, the more details you invent, the easier it will be to forget your story. Keep it simple, and something that you regularly do together, like meeting up for dinner or drinks.
2. Make sure everyone involved in the proposal is on the same page
When planning your proposal with us, we make sure that everyone involved in setting up and executing the proposal is on the same page and knows the story you're telling your partner. This way, no slip ups can happen. If you are inviting friends and family, be sure to also tell them the same story so that no one ruins the surprise. You never know who your partner might reach out to in the days before your proposal!
3. Be flexible!
If your partner is catching on that there's a proposal coming soon, don't stress! Be flexible, and either switch up the date of the proposal, or find a creative way to throw her off course. We have definitely helped guests come up with inventive ways to throw off the scent of their partner.
