So you are about to pop the question. Now, how are you going to do it? She’s only going to tell her mother, father, sisters, brothers, cousins, all of her friends, all the people on her Facebook, Snapchat, and Instagram accounts, and anyone that she comes across… but no big deal. You got this! Here are the top 10 ways to propose to your partner.
1) Propose on a Romantic Getaway
If you want a proposal story everyone is going to talk about for years, fly her out to Santorini and propose to her on a cliff overlooking the Mediterranean Sea during sunset. She will melt and tell everyone and their mother, literally.
2) Choose a Meaningful Place
If you want to stay more local, choose her favorite place, somewhere that has significance for both of you. Once you get there, ask someone to take a picture of you together, but instead of posing, get down on one knee. The picture will capture her initial surprise and become a beautiful memory of the moment.
3) Plan a Scavenger Hunt
Send your unsuspecting fiancée-to-be on a scavenger hunt that ends with you on bended knee. Start with a clue while she’s at home, such as a handwritten note or text message, that leads her to your favorite spots around town. Make the final destination the place where you are waiting to propose.
4) Propose on the Beach
If you guys are more of a laid-back couple, proposing on the beach can be the perfect way to propose. Take a long walk on the sand and, before you get down on one knee, consider getting her family involved if they are a close-knit family. It is also a thoughtful gesture for your future in-laws and can make the day even more memorable.
5) Make It a Sports-Themed Proposal
If she’s a big sports fan or baseball fan, you can cut open a baseball in half and put the ring box inside it and propose with the baseball. She will love the personal touch and may save that baseball forever.
6) Bring Back Your High School Memories
If you guys are high school sweethearts, bring it back to those days when you would write folded-up notes and give them to each other between classes. Recreate one of those special memories and use the final note to ask the big question.
7) Create a Custom Puzzle
If you guys are more low-key and want to do it at home, make a custom jigsaw puzzle with both of your pictures and the words, “Marry Me?” On a quiet night, suggest doing the puzzle together. Right before the picture and message become clear, get down on one knee and propose. This idea can also work great with Scrabble.
8) Turn a Photo Shoot Into a Proposal
If you want to capture the special moment, tell your partner you’ve won a special photo shoot for couples. Get dressed up and then propose during the shoot. The photographer can capture the surprise and turn the session into an engagement photo shoot.
9) Have Some Fun With the Ring Size
If you want to mess with her and have a little fun, ask your partner about her ring size in obvious ways and bring a ring sizing chart with you. When she gets upset that you are ruining the surprise, say, “Okay, try this ring instead.” Then watch the smile that comes across her face.
10) Recreate a Movie Proposal
If she loves movies and has always pictured her proposal being like something from the movies, reenact a scene from one of her favorite films. For example, if she loves Pretty Woman, you could rent a limo and recreate a memorable romantic moment as you arrive to surprise her.
And live happily ever after.
