When is the best time to propose?
Proposing in the morning has so many benefits, especially in New York City. My top reasons to propose in the morning are:
Get it done and have the rest of the day to celebrate! Plan a post proposal brunch and then call your family/friends to share the news.
Beat the crowds - Most NY’ers and tourists alike don’t really start their day until noon. That’s when all the good spots start to get busy.
Lighting - The morning has GREAT light and lets us photograph in places we could not otherwise.
I know not everyone is a morning person, however the best way to get your partner out and about is by promising a coffee and a pastry. Real New Yorkers can’t say no to a good pastry and a coffee. Walk the park or that special place with a coffee in one hand and your partners hand in the other. I know it may be a bit cliche, but nothing beats a morning coffee and an empty city. Your partner will forget about the early wakeup when you ask the big question.
