5 Tips for embarking on your Epic Surprise Proposal in Hawaii with the Parents

Aloha friends!  Ready to pop the question to propose in Hawaii, but are traveling with the parents?  You might think that this will be an easy venture in paradise, but believe me it has some challenges!   Here's how to get them in on the action without blowing your cover:

  1. Mission Briefing: Gather the troops and spill the beans on your top-secret proposal plans. Lay out the game plan and let them know why their covert ops skills are crucial to pulling off the perfect surprise.

  2. Seal those Lips: Swear your parents to secrecy “Mum’s the word” and make sure they're on board with your Hawaii proposal.  No slip-ups allowed, folks—this is classified information until further notice!

  3. Team Coordination: Coordinate logistics with your parental partners-in-crime, siblings, and friends from scouting the perfect proposal spot to orchestrating the big reveal. With everyone on the same page, your surprise engagement mission is sure to go off without a hitch.

  4. Stay Cool Under Pressure: As the big moment draws near, keep calm and carry on like a seasoned secret agent. Trust in your allies to play their part and execute the plan flawlessly when the time comes.

  5. Celebrate Like Champions: Once your surprise proposal is done and your partner has said "yes" to forever, gather your squad for a round of congratulations on your newfound engagement. After all, it takes a village to pull off a proposal this epic!  Make sure to plan dinner reservations right after your engagement photo session with Jolene Kaneshige Photography!

Pro Tip: Coordinate to send the Parents, Siblings, and Friends ahead of you to hide and witness your big moment OR have them wait at a nearby spot/venue.  This prevents anyone from jumping in the way of capturing your big moment!

With these pro tips in your arsenal, you're all set to embark on the adventure of a lifetime with your parental posse, siblings, and friends by your side. We’re all rooting for you!
