Stay out of it.

If you want to be supportive, tell them you have a bottle of champagne ready for when they announce their engagement. You'll be happy to celebrate with them then.

O boy OP. The feedback in unanimous, and I also agree that you need to butt out of a very intimate and personal moment for a couple. Instead of planning the proposal, maybe you can plan a nice way to welcome the SO/fiance into your family - a special dinner, a card, or a small gift? If it will be a DIL, invite her to a brunch maybe, just you two?

If it was my child, I would suggest they ask their friends for advice or look up ideas on social media.

I have never participated in one or had one and so not really sure what the expectation is.

Sadly I don’t think so.

This is not a job for parents to do.

You can save your time for being overbearing about wedding planning. Start your pinterest board now to keep yourself busy while your child plans their own proposal.

Its not my child but my godson and its not like he asked me to plan anything, just asked about ideas. He hasn't even told his own or GF's parents.

Certainly! Here are some ideas for a happy and memorable proposal:
* Scenic Location: Choose a beautiful, meaningful location such as a favorite park, a beach at sunset, a mountaintop, or a place that holds sentimental value for both of you.
* Personalized Touches: Incorporate elements that are special to your relationship, such as photos, favorite songs, or inside jokes.
* Surprise Party: Organize a surprise engagement party with family and friends right after the proposal to celebrate the moment together.
* Creative Proposals: Consider a flash mob, a message in a bottle, a romantic scavenger hunt leading to the proposal spot, or a surprise message in a public place.
* Capture the Moment: Hire a photographer or arrange for someone to discreetly capture the proposal, so you can cherish the memories forever.
* Incorporate Shared Interests: Plan the proposal around an activity or hobby you both enjoy, like hiking, cooking, or a favorite sport.
* Private Dinner or Picnic: Set up a candlelit dinner or a cozy picnic in a private setting where you can pop the question in an intimate atmosphere.

Remember, the most important thing is to make the proposal authentic to your relationship and what you both value.

They should take their partner out of town for a romantic getaway and propose on night 1.

We went to Maui and he hired a proposal planner to take care of the logistics.

Bot says make it authentic to what you both value. Bot forgot to mention mommy.

If this is a marriage proposal and not a financial or grant proposal, then...no. You had your turn. You can contribute $, I suppose, but otherwise, really? What are you thinking?

This is ridiculous. I hope not.

Hire an airplane to sky write, “Will you marry me?” Then your son gets down on one knee and holds out the ring. His girlfriend cries and screams, “YES! With all my heart yes!” Their friend videos the whole thing from behind a bush.
