That money could easily be put toward the your\u00a0future as a couple \u2014 or at least something you&#8217;ll both enjoy. Perhaps a diamond is impractica<\/span>l to wear at work. <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or, you and your partner may just not care about the fancy piece of jewelry.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Whatever your reasoning, we&#8217;ve collected some of the best ideas for engagement ring alternatives that will help you set the foundation for the next phase of your love story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-1-take-a-trip\"><strong>1. <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Take a trip<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spend your post-engagement high planning a trip you have always talked about. Whether your destination is across the world or right in your backyard, you&#8217;ll create memories that will last a lifetime. Who says you can&#8217;t take a pre-wedding honeymoon?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-2-pay-off-your-loans\"><strong>2. <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Pay off your loans<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">College students today are graduating with an average of about <a href=\"https:\/\/studentloanhero.com\/student-loan-debt-statistics\/\">$39,400 in debt<\/a>\u00a0<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014 <\/span>and that&#8217;s before grad school. Marrying the love of your life means marrying their money situation as well. If you or your partner are still buried under your student loans, that can put some serious strain on your relationship. Take that engagement ring money and put it toward peace of mind.\u00a0Honestly, what\u2019s sexier than starting your life together debt-free?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-3-put-the-money-toward-a-down-payment\"><strong>3. <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Put the money toward a down payment<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Start investing in your future home. Or, if you already have a place to live, put the money toward that dream couch or a piece of artwork you\u2019ve both been eyeing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-4-adopt-a-dog\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>4. Adopt a dog<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Or a cat. Or a turtle. Extend your love by adding a new member to your team.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-5-get-tattoos\"><strong>5. <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Get tattoos<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If rings aren\u2019t your style, but you still want to wear a memento of the event, ink up together. You don&#8217;t even necessarily have to get matching tats. Choosing a piece of body art together with your partner will strengthen your bond even further.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-6-buy-season-tickets-you-can-enjoy-together\"><strong>6. <\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>Buy season tickets you can enjoy together<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get season tickets to your local baseball team, ski resort, or theater. That way, instead of the one-time joy of an <a href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/engagement-ring-vs-wedding-ring\/\">engagement ring<\/a>, the money will go toward joy that keeps on giving (and a built-in date night every week).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-up-next\">\u00a0Up Next:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-media-text alignwide has-media-on-the-right reusable-feature-block has-background\" style=\"background-color:#fff9f5;grid-template-columns:auto 51%\"><div class=\"wp-block-media-text__content\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-wedding-invitations-with-online-rsvp\"><a id=\"invitations-cta\" href=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/wedding-invitations\/\">Wedding Invitations with Online RSVP<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Whether you send traditional paper invitations or go paperless, you can easily collect RSVPs online.<\/p>\n<\/div><figure class=\"wp-block-media-text__media\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"749\" src=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-1024x749.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-75495 size-full\" srcset=\"https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-1024x749.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-300x219.jpg 300w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-768x562.jpg 768w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-1536x1123.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-2048x1498.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-1920x1404.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-1170x856.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-585x428.jpg 585w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-24x18.jpg 24w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-36x26.jpg 36w, https:\/\/withjoy.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/rsvp-52x38.jpg 52w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If there&#8217;s one image that Hollywood has programmed into our brains as the climax of a romantic story, it&#8217;s getting down on one knee with an open jewelry box.
