How do I ask my girlfriend to marry me durring her baby shower?

Question

I need some help, My girl and I have been together for a long time now. The finances have never been right to be able to afford the ring she deserves. Her and I are expecting our first child and her baby shower is this Sunday. I have a ring, and her best friend who is throwing the shower is in on it. I want to ask her at some point of her shower.

What are some ideas.. her friend was thinking we could incorperate it into one of the games they will play.. but we are all stumped. I want her to be surpised and I want this to be so special. I can sneek into the house at any point.

Come on ladies help me out!!!!

Thank you!

Answer 1

I would wrap the ring in a bigger box, and that box in a bigger box, and so on, until you dont feel like wrapping any more boxes.

Answer 2

i like rovie pants idea. wrap it up and have it sitting along with all the other gifts. have the friend who is in on it make sure that she opens that last, and then you can be in another room and when she opens it, you can come out and ask her

Answer 3

Are you marrying her because you REALLY love her, or is it just because she is pregnant? Which one.

**EDIT**

I guess it's the second answer. You wouldn't get defensive and resort to name calling if it was not true. Shame on you.

Answer 4

I would wrap it up to look like a shower gift and when she opens it pop into the room, get down on your knee and propose away, lol!

Good luck with the baby and the girl!!  =0)

Answer 5

Why not wrap the ring as a baby shower gift for her? Hand it to her and tell her it's from you to her. She'll see the ring as she opens the present.

Answer 6

If you have a friend in Graphics Field, or have good video editing software....get a video of a ultra sound with a boy/girl and have an outline of a ring floating around with the baby...she'll wonder what it is and start looking real close....when she does, get on one knee and say, " I think our son/daughter has the right idea in agreeing that I should have married you a long time ago....will you marry me and be my wife?"

Answer 7

i know a friend who was proposed this way (except the child was already here):

get a plain white onesie & write "Will you marry daddy?" on it. wrap it up & give it as one of her gifts. be sure you're somewhere close to her when she's opening them so that you can give her the ring right after she reads it.

OR.. spell it out on the cake. just be sure she doesn't see the cake until it's time to eat it. you could make a grand entrance - "ok, i'm finally here with the cake - sorry it took so long." then you could be the one to give her the cake with the message directly (possibly with the ring laying on top).

Answer 8

here is what you do.  at a baby shower there is usually a game, a lunch and then the mom to be sits in a chair and presents from the mountain of presents that people bring are brought to her one by one and she opens them.  have a medium size box wrapped beautifully.  have a card on the outside indicating it is from you. because it is not a ring size box she and the other guests will think it is so cute you have given her a baby gift.  have her friend give it to her as her first gift to open.  when she opens it there will be a smaller beautfully wrapped box inside.  when she opens that there will be an empty ring box.  that is your cue to come in the room and propose with the ring that goes in the box which you have in your own pocket.  .  this way it is not too early in the shower, and you will have everyone relaxed and attentive and she will be sitting down.  perfect.  

and i agree totally that first answer is completely idiotic and ignorant.   ( shudder)

boy i sure hope this is not for some company that puts on proposals trying to get free ideas.

Answer 9

I would go to Babies R Us and get a box and gift wrap from there,so it looks as though she's opening a Baby Shower gift. Then, attach a card but don't sign it.... She'll be baffled and no one watching her open all the gifts will speak up and claim it as theirs. When she begins to open it, thats when you pop in the room and walk over to her and get down on one knee in front of everyone and say "Will you spend forever with me?" .  Awwwww! That would be amazing!

Just tell her friend to hand her the gift, acting like someone left it on the kitchen counter or something... as tho she has no clue who its from. Ha! She'll cry!

Answer 10

The word scramble game. Make sure she gets a special word scramble with one scrambled phrase you could do "lwil ouy ramry em?" And then when she figures it out you can come out with the ring and propose on one knee!

Answer 11

Well congratulations first off on the baby and the future marriage!

I personally think you should just wrap it in a box and she will just open it up, watch her closely and then when you see her grab it, go over to her and when she opens it ask her. She will be thrilled =)

Answer 12

Hi, congratulations!

How about putting the ring in a box and wrapping it up? Put it in a box larger than the ring (so she doesn't know what it is), something that looks like it could contain a baby's gift, with a note saying something like "Baby... I love you. Will you make me the happiest man (and father) on the planet and marry me?". Or something similar. :-) Wrap it up in baby paper (make it real fancy, with bows and ribbons. If you're not good at that, ask her best friend to help you). Don't put a name on it and put it with the rest of the gifts. She'll wonder who it's from and will make opening it all that more exciting. How exciting and adorable would that be??

Or, you can always put the ring in the bottom of her drink glass. Make sure she gets a special champagne flute-type glass (as the guest of honor), and serve some sparkling apple juice to her personally. When she gets to the bottom, she should see it there, shining brightly. You can then take it from her, and gently slide it on her finger. :-)

Whatever you decide, good luck! She'll love it!

Answer 13

Okay, here's a cheesy idea for you.

You know Pin the Tail on the Donkey.  Well, there is a shower game, Pin the Diaper on the Baby.  So you're in the house with the ring.  Three or 4 of her friends get blindfolded and take their turn first.  THEN, your girlfriend gets the blindfold, and you move in front of the baby poster.  She'll be walking with her hands out.  So you let her touch you, take off her blindfold, and when she gets through asking, "What are you doing here?", drop to your knee.

Or, when she gets close to you, you can slip the ring onto her finger, pull off the blindfold, and let her look at her hand while you drop to your knee and propose.

Yeah, I know.  Cheesy.  Sorry, I got to babysit my toddler grandson all day today, and he wore me out.  I don't have much energy left for thinking.

Congratulations, and good luck to the three of you!

EDIT:  Hey Grill, after the shower would you email me and let me know what you did and how she reacted?  I'd love to hear the story!!!!!  Love the onesie idea and the ultrasound idea, by the way.
