4 Tips for Hiding your Engagement Ring Box

Most revel in their smugness while putting it in its velvet-lined box, after which full realization hits: they still need to pull off that dream proposal!

A diamond ring in a box is much harder to hide until the time is right. Luckily, there are a few smart options for hiding it up to that point.

• Wear loose clothing: You do not want your girlfriend spotting a bulge in your pocket and asking about it, not on this day of all days. The perfect outfit lets you prevent that kind of problem.
• Hold the ring box in a prop: An opaque water bottle, a granola bar box, etc., can be used to hold the ring box in secrecy.
• Hide the ring box where you plan to propose: Make sure that no one else will stumble on the thing first, and then pick a spot from where you can grab it quickly.
• Have someone bring it there: Enlist reliable help, and tell them to bring the ring box there at a pre-decided time.
