Proposals hold a special kind of magic. They’re personal by nature—shaped by inside jokes, shared memories, and the small rituals that define a relationship. Some are planned to the last detail, others unfold surprisingly and without much staging, but the heart of a meaningful proposal is always the same: it feels true to the couple at the center of it. It’s the first promise in a long list of promises you’ll make together, and one you’ll return to again and again as the years unfold.
As engagement season begins, Lovebird is turning the spotlight toward these deeply personal moments with an open call for couples to share the story of how their forever began.
Whether your proposal was perfectly planned, spontaneous, hilariously chaotic, or unexpectedly emotional, this is a sweet opportunity to celebrate the moment with a wider community.

Lovebird’s 2026 Design Suites
To celebrate the contest, Lovebird is also highlighting three design suites that reflect what many couples are leaning toward for 2026 weddings. These suites are available to personalize within your custom wedding website and digital stationery.
Storybook Romance
The Storybook Romance wedding website and invitation suite is all about soft, emotional, diary-inspired design elements—flowers, handwritten touches, dusty rose, muted crimson, and subtle shimmer. Think intimate, nostalgic, and full of sentimental details.
Rococo Revival
The Rococco Revival wedding website and invitations come in powdery pastels, artistic florals, gently gilded accents, and classic-but-modern silhouettes. A little bit “couture editorial,” with a soft, romantic edge.
Old-World Glamour
Deep jewel tones, velvet textures, architectural details, and dramatic lighting cues. This website and invitation is A suite for couples leaning into a more formal, cinematic atmosphere.
Explore all three suites through Lovebird then visit www.lovebird.com/proposals to submit your proposal story.
Submissions are open until January 31, 2026 at 11:45pm EST.
