Since then, it has been customary to celebrate Propose Day during Valentine’s Week. Lovebirds across the globe have taken to this special day to propose and share their emotions.

For many couples, this is a watershed moment in their relationship, a time to celebrate their love and dedication to one another. For many, particularly younger generations, Propose Day is the ideal time to tell that special someone how you feel about them, even if it’s been a hidden crush all along.
Celebrating Propose Day has grown in popularity, and many people now arrange surprises, trips, and presents to honour their love on this day. Both partners are kept on the edge of their seats by the double thrills of proposing and waiting for a yes. As a prelude to Valentine’s Day, Propose Day encourages love and strengthens relationships.
