How is it that after mastering the ring buying process, finding the perfect diamond and paying a small fortune for it, you are stumped about how to conceal the ring box on THE DAY. After all, most of us don’t walk around with a box shape in our pocket. Engagement is not for the faint of heart!
Let’s think about some practical ways to squirrel away that ring box so that your beloved is none the wiser:
Dress for Success
You don’t want to look frumpy or messy, but looser clothing will do a lot to conceal a ring box. If it’s chilly, a coat or jacket pocket will do nicely. What may seem glaringly obvious to you probably won’t be to your soon-to-be fiancé. But you may want to hold off your embrace until after you’ve popped the question! If you’re proposing at the beach, you’ll need to really get creative.
Entrust It to the Photographer
Who gets engaged these days without a photographer — or a friend with an iPhone — lurking offsite to capture the moment? Almost no one. Instagram and Facebook won’t allow it. Ask your photographer to do double duty and carry the box for you.
Think Outside the Box
Once you’ve carefully chosen the location where you will pop the question, consider your options. Perhaps the restaurant owner will deliver the sparkling diamond on a platter or nestled in a bouquet. If your location is remote enough, you could carefully place it in the hollow of a tree, or conceal it under a rock. Just don’t go so crazy that you compromise the safety of the engagement ring!
What’s in a Box?
We knew a creative fellow who utilized a Cracker Jack box to do ring box duty — right down to carefully opening the prize envelope inside and placing the ring in it. Then he carefully sealed everything back up. Imagine her surprise! Perhaps the gift of a beautiful jewelry box with the ring safely inside would be more to your sweetie’s liking.
You could also forget any sort of box and carry the ring in your pocket, although we suggest that you wrap it in a handkerchief or secure it in some way.
Remember that this day is special because you are pledging your love and life to an amazing person. Don’t stress about the box. Trails On Falls would love to help you begin this journey with the perfect ring and make this occasion as special as you both deserve.
