Love isn’t just about fairy-tale endings, it’s about the beginning of something beautiful. Propose Day, celebrated on February 8, is not just for those planning to get down on one knee with a diamond ring. It’s a day to take a step forward in any relationship, be it friendship, romance, or a lifelong journey together. Propose Day isn’t just about getting down on one knee, it’s about taking a leap toward something special. Be it a friendship, love, adventure, or a lifetime together, use this day to make a promise that truly matters.

Here are some ideas that will make Propose day a day to remember for both of you:

Propose a friendship: Who says proposals are only for romance? If there’s someone you admire and want to befriend, Propose Day is the perfect time to say it out loud. Write a fun Friendship contract, listing all the things you promise as a best friend (I promise to never judge your pizza choices, I will always back you up in karaoke battles, I will be your partner in crime, will you be mine?) Hand it over with a small gift like a friendship bracelet or a book they’d love.

Make it official: If you’ve been seeing someone but haven’t put a label on it yet, what better day to officially ask them to be yours? Organise a scavenger hunt leading to little notes that suggest what you love about them. The final clue should lead to you, holding a card that says: So, have you made up your mind? Will you be mine?

Propose a first date: Crushing on someone but haven’t had the courage to ask them out? Propose day is the perfect chance to make that move you’ve been hesitating to make. Choose to send a sweet letter, a casual message, or ask them in person, know that now’s your time to shine. Keep it lighthearted; suggest a simple date like a cup of coffee, a stroll in the park, or a visit to a museum or bookstore. By keeping the invitation relaxed and fun, you’ll ease any pressure and let them know you’re genuinely interested in getting to know them better.

Pop the question: Planning to pop the big question? Make it unforgettable with a proposal that speaks to your love story. Create a timeline of your relationship with small pictures or notes detailing your best moments together. At the end of the timeline, write: The best is yet to come…, and propose with a heartfelt message.
