When is Proposal Day? March 20 holiday

About Proposal Day

When is Proposal Day? This holiday is always observed on March 20

Ladies and gentlemen, this could be a big, big day. It’s Proposal Day! Valentine’s Day last month came and went. He didn’t, or couldn’t, gather up the nerve to ask you. Along comes this March 20 holiday, and with it another opportunity. For those in love, this could very well be the big day that will change your lives for the better.

Use caution on this day. When he begins by saying: “I would like to propose to you….”,  he may end with “……that we go see a movie.” Remember, it’s Proposal Day. It is a day to make proposals. However, it may not be the one you want to hear.

Important Note: If you don’t want to entertain a proposal today, we suggest that you make yourself sparse.

With all the suggestions about romance on Proposal Day, one must recognize that this day can be about ANY type of proposal. For example, legislators may propose a new law, you might attend a meeting about a new business proposal, or a friend may simply propose that you go to a movie or a ball game.

How to Celebrate Proposal Day

Among the ways to celebrate today are:

  • Guys, make that big proposal.
  • Gals, it is perfectly okay for you to make “the proposal” to him. 
  • Got a great idea? Determine how to present it and propose it to the appropriate person or group.
  • As for me, I’m going to keep an eye on the sky, as today is also Extraterrestrial Abductions Day.
