You will know when the right time comes. You just need a good partner I guess.

depends how long you have been dating, how old, is there lots of sex, etc.  \nIf out of high school more often, if dating for awhile more often.  2-4 for first couple months 5-7 after a few months

The perfect age is 39. You are still young and able to do anything. You are smarter and more mature. You have experience. It's a good time.

It is proper ettiquette to put it in only once a wedding date has been set.  After that, anytime up until the wedding is fine.

the best time for you and your mate to get married is when you both know that you cant be without the other.when you are ready to make that commitment than you will know when the time is right.

engagement is not a legally binding contract (any more) so go ahead - but wait for the decree absolute before any wedding preparations!

That is such a personal thing.  I don't know that there is any one right time frame for that.  I knew 6 months into my relationship that I was going to get married, but I know some relationships that last for years and years and the couple is't ready to commit.  This is really something to decide for yourself.

Engagement ceremonies vary tremendously depending on cultural backgrounds and traditions. You'll have to be more specific.

After twenty-five, but definitely before forty.\n\nAlso wait at least two years after you get married to have the kids.That way you and your spouse have time to have some fun before hunkering down.

If you are ready to take the next step and you feel it's right then it's the right time. I'm getting married in November and i know it's the right thing to do. I love him and there is no point in waiting, i'm 25 and my family and friends enjoy his company which made it easier for me to make my decision. If you don't have to change your life to involve the other person but gradually include them, then it's good. Don't think that maybe someone/something better will come along and you might miss out, that's wrong.

3 weeks is really not enough time for people to respond especially if you have a dinner reception. 6-8weeks ahead of time is a good time frame to send out invitations. that gives people time to get them, read them, decide if they are coming or not, and then respond.

I think around 24 to 27 for me, yes its also the best time for having kids but its also good cause the couple is young enuf to enjoy the marriage. You're not as jaded and irritated with life just yet. As for the busy schedules, well, if a relationship or family life is important you can always make time, our dads and moms did it right? If they could do it, so could we.

Anytime of the year! When you are ready, that's the right time. To get married sometimes you need to find the best time of the year due to weather consideration, honeymoon plan, etc. But a proposal? I would say anytime!
