Let's be real: there's A LOT that goes into a marriage proposal, to say the least. First, ya gotta pick out the perfect ring (you also have to pick the perfect person, but I'm assuming you've got that covered). Then you have to come up with a thoughtful (yet creative!) way to pop the question, and maybe even find a sentimental location. It's a whole thing. I get it. Tonssss of planning is required to bring this monumental moment to life. But let's not forget about that engagement ring box!

Okay, yes, it is a rather small detail in the ~proposal process~. But presentation is important, and you really don't want to overlook this, trust. Because I want you to look back on this special day and be happy with everything about it, I took on the task of gathering some of the best engagement ring boxes that'll be the most gorgeous home and accessory to the le rock.

If you scroll down, you'll see that there are a variety of styles to choose from. Which is honestly great, because that means you can find the perfect fit for your soon-to-be fiancé and their aesthetic. If they're into a classic lewk, I've found something they'll absolutely adore, and if they dig a more rustic, wooden design, I have some options that they'll go crazy over. Oh! And get this! You can even add a personalized message to a few of them if you wanna add a lil extra sump'n sump'n that they can look back on and happy-cry over. We love happy tears in this house!

I know it may be nerve-wracking to shop for something as important as this, but take a deep breath, and look through these gorgeous finds. You already found The One for you, now you just have to find The One for *that* ring. And it's in here! I just know it.

What's so cool about this one is that the ring will also ~flip up~ when you open the box. So if you decide to get down on one knee, they'll have the most perfect view of the bling. Clever, right?
