Last year I received a most unique Save the Date card which featured a photo of the engaged couple on a scenic mountain peak – he on bended knee and she with a surprised look and grin from ear to ear. This fun photo was actually a re-enactment of the actual proposal moment, but a new service in proposal planning may change all of that.

Proposal planner companies such as The Heart Bandits and An Exclusive Engagement have sprung up in response to demand for a unique and spectacular setting to pop the big question. From helicopter rides to museum dining to special serenades, these proposal planners offer to orchestrate the whole event and capture the big moment of ‘yes’ on film on video.

Proposal planners offer a broad range of services.  The Heart Bandits offers a $500 option to come up with the proposal idea based on a detailed questionnaire about the couple, their likes and favorite activities of the (hopefully) bride-to-be.  Beyond that, varying levels of involvement are available, leading up to full handling of all aspects of planning, logistics, reservations, gifts and other special details – which can run up to $12,000.  Not surprisingly, most success stories on the company’s website emphasize romance, from a ‘glittering New York City evening’ to ‘the romance of a morning in Paris’.

Proposal planners have a ways to go before their services can be considered a trend.  Many grooms prefer a simple, intimate proposal that is more spontaneous than meticulously planned.  But for the groom who wants to create a truly memorable and special wedding proposal, it’s nice to know that there’s some romantic guidance for hire to make that happen.  If you are recently engaged and want to share your happy news, shop the fresh collection of Save the Date cards at LookLoveSend.com.
