Include your children or pets in the proposal
If you and your partner are parents to children or fur-babies, it can be a great idea to include them when popping the question! I mean, who can really say no to your pooch? This can be as simple as slipping an engagement ring on your pet’s collar, or asking your child to wear a shirt that says “will you marry daddy (or mummy)?”
Ultimately, this adds a personal, family element to the proposal that your significant other will certainly appreciate.
