How should i propose to her?

Question

So i have this girlfriend and she is amazing! Gods gift to earth! I would do anything for her! I want to get engaged to her and i have an idea how i want to do it but does anyone else have any ROMANTIC ideas? Please, no ignorant answers

Answer 1

I would do it somewhere that is sentimental to the both of you. Personalize it. Maybe do it in a way that reminds you of some inside joke you guys have.

Some people are different, but I personally think proposing at a restaurant isn't very imaginative and is very generic.

Answer 2

All these ideas are really cliche and not unique. Who doesnt get proposed to on the beach or in a restaurant. If you know her well enough this should be easy. Make it personalized and unique, I just read that 80 percent of women wished for a more unique proposal. Please stay away from the ring in food, thats just gross.  

Answer 3

My soon to be husband made a charm bracelet that said "marry me". It was in a pretty box, and when I opened it he siad, "will you?" and got on one knee.

Answer 4

Plot out a scavenger hunt that leads her to places that are meaningful in your relationship (location of your first date, first kiss, favorite restaurant, etc, etc) and have the last location be your home/a park where she finds you on bended knee ready to pop the question.

Answer 5

i'd say..take her out to a romantic dinner and order cake...chocolate is the best cover...and put the engagement ring in the cake..right when she notices the ring in the cake get on one knee and propose...that way everyone sees..and she will know you're not afraid to express your love for her in front of people.  

Answer 6

insert a will you marry me note in her food

Answer 7

the way i want to be proposed to and you might like it. put a note on the door telling her that you love her and to come on in there's a surprise for you inside,of a glass of champagne on the table and have a single red rose a path of peddles leading to the back yard with candles lite every where and him in a tux on one knee with the box in his hands.  make her dinner and get chocolate covered strawberries and champagne candle lite. i wouldn't put it in her glass or food she might swallow it or choke on it.

Answer 8

Take her to a fancy restaurant and arrange a group of violinists to play at your table and when they stop, you get engaged.

Answer 9

You say you have an idea...then go with it! That's what is important-originality! She does't want a proposal from me or andy one else...she wants one from you.

Answer 10

Answer 11

wow good for you:)

why dont you take her to the sea side or in front of her family:)........

or take her for a dinner & put it in her wine glass?......

Answer 12

I like the idea of recreating you first date, it is always a good choice for proposing.

If you have the budget though you could consider taking her on a hot air balloon ride with a picnic at the end.

You could also rent a horse drawn carriage if they have those in your area.  Take her to a nice dinner, then on the carriage ride.  I would melt if someone did that for me!! lol

You could also take her horseback riding and have a nice picnic/lunch area set up for after the ride.

Other small things you could do to make it more romantic are to try to set the mood, aim for evening, lots of candles, romantic music, her favorite flowers or chocolates.

Best of luck!!!!

p.s. don't forget to tell her all the reasons you love her :)

Answer 13

1. A candlelit dinner

This is a classic. Ignore the naysayers who'll tell you that this is uncreative and boring. You just can't go wrong with making a nice dinner for your loved one or taking her out to eat at a fancy restaurant. Add some roses, candles, champagne, and you'll create a beautiful night to remember.

2. Propose where you first met

This may not be a good idea if the two of you met at a Laundromat, but this is a good option if you bumped into each other at the park. Set it up by talking about the first time you met, then describe the moment when you knew you were in love with her. Then bend down on one knee and ask her to make you the happiest man in the world.

3. Propose on horseback

I can't imagine there are many women who can resist the idea of their knight in shining armor riding to them on horseback and proposing marriage. Take a horseback ride together, or arrange a time and place where you can ride up to meet her.

4. On the beach

Few settings are more romantic than a fiery sunset at a beach, especially if it's complete with vivid blue water and swaying palm trees. She will never forget that moment.

5. Romantic picnic

Pick out a perfect place for a romantic picnic, preferably a place that's beautiful and secluded. Near a waterfall, perhaps, or by a lake, or underneath a majestic tree. Prepare a picnic basket--don't forget to bring some champagne!

6. Fireworks

Beautiful lights exploding in the night sky can create the perfect setting for a memorable marriage proposal. You can do it on the 4th of July, or you can try to arrange a fireworks display yourself. See if you can contract someone to do a fireworks show that will flash the words "Will You Marry Me?" against the night sky.

7. Romantic getaway

Plan a romantic weekend getaway to a nice hotel or a bed & breakfast. You can choose a favorite vacation spot that you both love, or try something exotic such as a trip to the Caribbean. On the last day of your trip together, pop the question.

8. A flying banner

This will definitely catch her by surprise. Arrange an airplane to fly above you, dragging behind a banner that asks her to marry you.

9. Romantic serenade

Warm up to your marriage proposal by singing a romantic song or reciting a love poem. It's even better if you write the song or poem yourself, but not necessary. Even if you can't carry a tune in a bucket, it's still one of the most romantic ways to propose. Serenade her outside her window, or at a fancy restaurant, or even when you're having a nice meal at home.

10. Propose over the radio

Arrange to propose to her over a radio station that you know she'll be listening to. Plan a special message you want to say (nothing that will embarrass her), and have the station play a special song that has meaning for both of you.

Best Public Proposal Ideas

    * Have a flair for the dramatic? Get in touch with the stage manager of an appropriately themed production and propose after the cast's curtain call.

    * Take out a full-page ad in a newspaper you know your girlfriend reads daily.

    * Arrange a surprise proposal with a street caricaturist. Have him sketch a picture of you two with word bubbles. Yours will read, "Will you Marry Me?", and hers will say, "Yes!"

    * Pay the divers at an aquarium to put on a proposal show inside their biggest fish tank. Give them hand-written signs that say "Will You Marry Me?" to hold up against the glass.

    * Send your girlfriend on a treasure hunt. Start with a clue at home, then send her on a tour of your favorite spots all over town. When she gets to the last hint, the prize should be you on one knee.

    * Go out for a night of dancing, and ask the DJ or band leader to pass you the mic so that you can dedicate a song and propose on the dance floor.

    * Have a friend or family member set up a picnic -- complete with wine and cheese, or course -- for you in a park. Take your girlfriend for a hike on a route where you'll stumble upon this surprise "Proposal Picnic."

    * Hire a skywriter to spell your proposal for everyone around to see.

    * Flying anytime soon? Use the plane's loud-speaker system (of course, run your plan by the flight attendants first) and propose 35,000 feet in the air.

    * Movie buffs? Ask your neighborhood theater to run an ad featuring your proposal and make sure you get there in time for the previews.

    * Gather a bunch of your friends and family for a party. Have everyone in attendance put on a T-shirt bearing one of the letters in the phrase "Will You Marry Me?" When you walk in the room with your girlfriend, suggest a group picture and let the shirts speak for themselves.

Best At-home Proposal Ideas

    * For a simple surprise, after she goes to bed, go to her jewelry box and replace her everyday ring with the engagement ring. She'll be completely shocked in the morning when she goes to put on her regular ring.

    * Draw a bath and place a floating candle or rubber ducky in the middle with a ring tied around its neck. Make a path of roses leading to the tub. (And make sure the drain is well-plugged!)

    * Speaking of paths, turn off all the lights in your apartment and make a trail of candles that leads to a circle of votives positioned around a ring.

    * Slip the ring on her finger while she's sleeping and wake her with champagne and strawberries. At first, the gesture will simply seem romantic -- the real surprise comes when she notices her new piece of jewelry.

    * Tie a red velvet ribbon from one spot in your home to another. Attach little notes recalling perfect moments in your relationship along the way. You wait at the last stop, ring in hand.

Best Tech Proposal Ideas

    * Create your own podcast proposal and sneak it onto her iPod.

    * Upload a video of your proposal on YouTube (tell her you have a hysterical home movie to show her).

    * Steal her digital camera and head to her favorite local outdoor spot. Bring a friend with you and have posters made with the words "will," "you," "marry," "me?" Have your friend photograph you holding each one in a different position. Then, let her know you borrowed her camera and ask if she will upload your photos.

    * Take the scavenger hunt high-tech: send your mate a text message leading her to a secret spot. Keep her engaged by text messaging her sweet nothings along the way (and directions of course), as you lead her to you, on bended knee.

    * We had to add this one: Create a Web page declaring your love and intentions. Leave your sweetie a clue with the Web address written on it -- don't say a word. After the proposal has been officially accepted (which of course it will be!), he or she can proudly send the page to friends and family.

Best Foodie Proposal Ideas

    * Make the box with her ring a selection on the desert tray at your favorite restaurant.

    * Put together a gift basket of yummy delicacies -- the best chocolate, caviar, coffee -- and hide the ring among the presents (in its box, so it doesn't get lost in the goodies).

    * Ask the wait staff to write, "Will you marry me?" in chocolate sauce around the rim of his or her dessert plate.

    * Ask a baker to make a cake with the proposal written in frosting. Have him display it in the store front and suggest a little window-shopping to your girlfriend.

    * Create a personalize fortune cookie with your own proposal message.

Most Playful Proposal Ideas

    * Create your own crossword puzzle (it's easy with this site) and be prepared to help her work it out over breakfast.

    * Spell your proposal out in glow-in-the-dark star stickers on your ceiling. Get into bed, turn the lights off, and wait for the inevitable gasp.

    * Spell out your proposal with refrigerator magnets.

    * Scratch your proposal into the frost on his or her car's windshield.

    * If your girlfriend is a teacher, sneak into her classroom before school starts and write your proposal on the blackboard. Stay hiding in the coat closet or right outside the room for the moment she arrives.

    * Get a ring size chart and ask your girlfriend to look up her size. When she accuses you of ruining the surprise that you're shopping for a ring, say, "Okay, try this one instead," and show her that you've already shopped for a ring.

    * During your annual Halloween prep, challenge her to a pumpkin carving contest and carve the words "Marry Me" in your pumpkin.

    * Write "Will You Marry Me?" on the underside of a kite and take flight one warm, breezy afternoon.

    * Play Hangman and have the phrase be "Marry Me."

Best Summer Proposal Ideas

    * If you love to hit the beach, head down a few hours before her and write your proposal with large white large rocks in the sand.

    * Go to the beach and casually build a sandcastle (at a safe distance from the ocean!). Ignore her annoyance that you're spending so much time on a sand castle, and place the ring on the highest turret. Then invite her to admire your handiwork.

    * Gather your families together for a summer barbecue and make your proposal a family affair.

    * Make your own message in a bottle. On the night before a beach day you've planned, write a love poem on a piece of parchment paper, roll it into an antique bottle with a cork, and bury it in a well marked spot in the sand near your towels. Be sure you "find" the bottle as you dig together -- and have the ring at the ready.

Most Thoughtful Proposal Ideas

    * If you're artistically inclined or just like to make things with your own two hands, integrate something you've made into the proposal. For example, if you have woodworking skills, present the ring in a special hand-carved jewelry box.

    * Buy a pet that she has always wanted (bunny, kitten, puppy) and loosely tie the ring around its neck. Or, substitute a stuffed animal -- still cute, but less maintenance!

    * Tell your girlfriend you want to make a time capsule together to bury and dig up years into the future. As you're gathering the items, say it wouldn't be complete without a picture of the moment you two got engaged! Have a Polaroid camera ready to take that shot right after you present her with the ring.

    * Rent a Vespa scooter and invite your girlfriend for a ride, but remind her to be safe and wear a helmet. Put the ring in the helmet box and then zip around town to celebrate.

    * Meet for a drink at a posh hotel bar. When it's time to go, casually mention that you've already reserved a room for the night. When you open the hotel room door, have roses, candles, and champagne all set up -- everything for a perfect surprise proposal.

Cheesy (but hilarious) Proposal Ideas

    * Make a list of ten reasons you'd like to marry your beloved. Read them to him or her in front of a crowd, have a singing telegram deliver them, or send them written on note cards one by one over the course of a day (or ten!), with the last card arriving via personal messenger (you!).

    * Want to really surprise your girlfriend? Cut out the bottom of a big box, wrap it with pretty paper and ribbon, and attach a card that says, "What's inside the box is a gift to last a lifetime." "Deliver" yourself to his or her office or front door.

    * Make her ring the surprise in a box of Cracker Jacks.

    * Write your proposal in sunscreen on your stomach, so that your tan will "stencil in" the words.

    * Make her feel like a movie star and set your proposal to the scene of her favorite romantic movie. You could arrange your own Pretty Woman moment (the finale, of course) -- rent a white limo and climb through the moonroof with flowers in hand to proclaim your love as you arrive at her place.

    * Another funny movie proposal? Steal from that famous Say Anything scene -- park yourself outside her house with a stereo blaring your favorite tune and propose on the front lawn.

Make her get all dressed up and don't tell her where you're going, then take her to the place where you had your first date, or where you first met and propose there.
