There’s nothing quite like an engagement. It’s one of the most memorable days in a person’s life, and, for that reason, it deserves to be as perfect as possible. While men put plenty of effort into getting it right, their enjoyment can sometimes be compromised if they’re unsure that they’re doing the right thing. This is where you can come in. If you know your best friend’s partner is planning their engagement, you can offer some subtle tips to make sure it’s everything that she’ll be hoping for. Both people in the relationship will thank you if you’ve helped it to be the best engagement ever!

Inside Tips
The soon to be engaged girlfriend has been a close friend of yours for years. Surely you’ve talked about engagements before! If you have, you’ll have an inside scoop that her partner won’t. While he’ll want to plan some aspects on his own, you can offer some tips on what she would like – or perhaps more importantly, what she wouldn’t like. The way Kendall proposed to me was exactly what I wanted- but a lot of ladies would prefer something more private.
In the Right Direction
There’s a logistical matter that many men struggle with, an area in which you can most definitely help. Men aren’t always the best judges of what’s stylish and what isn’t, but when it comes to engagement rings, they can’t afford to take a chance! It’s going to be around for a long time, after all. Here’s where you come in. Since I changed my mind on what kind of ring I liked (many times) he checked in with my girl Tiffany to help him decide. While you shouldn’t choose the ring for them, you can point them in the direction of sites like https://www.loveandpromisejewelers.com/engagement-rings/halo/; they’ll have a range of rings to choose from, and you can rest assured that your friend is going to have a beautiful ring on her finger after he’s popped the question.
Planning the Setting
The other logistical aspect that he might need help with is actually arranging the setting where he’ll ask the question. It has to be somewhere special, but it also has to be a surprise! He might need you to go ahead before him to make sure everything’s set up for the proposal while he’s busy convincing his girlfriend that it’s just another night out on the town. If he needs a special favor from the restaurant, you can be the “woman on the ground” making sure they’ve got it just right.
My proposal (even though I suggested it) was a total surprise to me. It entailed lots of secret keeping and logistical assistance from my friends Jess + Dana along with the We The Kings and their crew. I wouldn’t change a thing- it was so perfect. What was your proposal like? Or what is your dream proposal?
Pep Talks
He’ll be sure that he wants to ask your best friend to marry him, but let’s not forget that even the surest people get nervous sometimes! If he’s beginning to show his nerves, you can be on hand to reassure him that his partner really does want it, and that even if something goes wrong, she’ll be thrilled so long as you’ve asked the question and walk away as an engaged couple who will one day walk down the aisle!
