You have quite a few options that you may choose but I would recommend one of the following:

Proposal Suggestion #1

Step 1: Take you partner to a remote location where you can spend quality time with them. Planning at this stage is very important as explained in my other articles. Make sure to pack cutlery, a formal type dress for her and a tux for you as well as some food that can be prepared with ease and a bottle of wine.

Step 2: Start by giving her the best day of her life. Treat her to a foot massage, a back massage or even bring along a gift. Treat her like a queen for the day and don’t let her lift a finger. Make sure that she feels really comfortable and do your best not to have a single fight.

Step 3: After this long fantastic day, go to bed and wait for her to fall asleep.

Step 4: Now it’s time to take action, set up a table with candles and wine with the finest cutlery that you possess. Prepare a meal that you feel would fit the occasion, if you’re not comfortable with the idea of preparing food, find a restaurant that would deliver to your location.

Step 5: Following all the arrangements you have made with dinner, it’s now time to get dressed.

Step 6: Go back to your partner and tell her that you have a surprise for her however it is required that she has to put on her finest dress. Remember to wake her gently as you don’t want her to be in a bad mood.

Step 7: Blindfold her and lead her to the dinner table. When you reveal the romantic dinner to her it would be a good idea to have some soft music coming from a car or any other music source and start off by asking her for a dance. Slowly dance with her and hold her close to you.

Step 8: After the dinner and some casual chat it’s time to “pop the question”. Make sure you prepare sufficiently before proposing. Tell her exactly what you feel and how much she means to you. Make sure you describe every detail as vivid as possible and as romantic as possible.

Step 9: Start making wedding arrangements and remember to read up on the ten crucial tips below.

1. Pop the question on a candlelit dinner in a place that is memorable for the both of you.

This is how many guys do it. Not that it’s a bad thing. There’s nothing wrong with wanting to do things the classic way—a romantic dinner for two at your favorite restaurant. In fact, there is such an elegance and timelessness to it that only enhances the mood of the occasion.

You might even enlist the help of the maitre d’ should you decide on something a bit more creative, like having the ring in her champagne glass or embedded in her dessert. If it’s a Chinese restaurant, maybe you could pop the question by way of fortune cookie.

Once she’s realized what’s going on, get down on one knee, look her straight in the eyes, tell her there’s no one else you’d rather spend the rest of your life with than her, and then ask her the big question. Simple, but romantic.

2. Plan a public proposal.

If you are absolutely sure that she will say “yes,” a public proposal is one of the most romantic ways to propose that will surely be one for the books. Do not attempt this if you feel that your partner is still unsure. With a public proposal, she may feel that you are pressing the issue and she might feel “pressured” to say yes.

However, if all that she’s waiting for is for you to pop the question, a public proposal – in a theater, a concert, a baseball game or in the middle of a huge family affair with the people that you both love – will do the trick; and it will be a moment that she can treasure forever!

3. Be creative with your wedding proposal.

Thinking of unique and romantic ways to propose is important because the tale will surely be told from generation to generation. From something as grand as “painting” your proposal in the sky to something as simple as getting down on your knees while strolling in the park – the key is to come up with a unique way to ask the question during the most unexpected time and her heartfelt answer will take care of the rest.

Do not limit yourself to these suggestions as there are as many romantic ways to propose as there are people waiting to get hitched. Whatever you decide upon, just make sure it’ll be one truly memorable experience not only for her, but for you as well.

You may be shocked to find out that better than 3/4 of women today are disappointed in the proposal they get, and you don’t want to disappoint her when you are asking her to spend the rest of life with you. Creating a special moment ensures that you both have wonderful memories of this precious time for years to come. Need a bit of help? Well, here are some great proposal ideas to consider using. Use them and you are pretty much guaranteed an emphatic “YES” from the love of your life.

Message in a Bottle Proposal

If you are looking for romantic and unique proposal ideas, a message in a bottle proposal is a wonderful idea to try. It’s simple, romantic and fun.

Preparation: Before you go get an antique bottle, use some parchment paper, and write your proposal on it (make sure you are original and romantic with the wording). Bury the bottle in the sand in an easy to locate spot.

Invite your love to go on a walk along the beach with you. Assuming all the preparation has been done, go walk with your love. Notice the bottle top sticking up and have her help you dig it up. Let her open the bottle and read your proposal. Romantically request her hand in marriage while you are kneeling on one knee with a ring in your hand. She’ll remember the moment forever, and she’ll have the bottle and proposal on parchment to keep as a memory of this important day in your lives.

Evening Picnic Dinner Proposal

Another of the many great proposal ideas out there is an evening picnic dinner proposal.

Preparation: Get a small generator and a lot of mini white lights. Find a beautiful and remote spot for a picnic, such as a private spot on the beach or a nice area in the mountains. Set up the generator and decorate it with all the white lights. Set up a small table and chairs, and have it ready for a picnic dinner.

Take her out to the dinner spot around sunset, sit her down at the table, and have a nice dinner and wine for her to eat. As the sun goes down, tell her you have a surprise for her. Go turn on the generator and let all the lights come on and dazzle her. It will take her breath away. Go to her and kneel with one knee and explain to her that she is the light in your world. Lovingly ask her to marry you.

Relaxing Getaway Proposal

More than likely your girlfriend is a busy woman. She could use a relaxing getaway and this is one of many great proposal ideas as well.

Preparation: decide on a place to go. Choose enjoyable activities that reduce stress and enable relaxation. (You will want to do this after you know she has a particular day off.)

Take her away for a day. Arrange for her to have a day off work, surprise her, and whisk her away. Make sure she does absolutely nothing. Take her to a nice resort or hotel. Let her enjoy the day in the pool, sipping nice drinks, and feed her a delicious dinner. Bring her to the hot tub in the evening to relax. When she is relaxed and you see the stress start slipping away, get on one knee and ask her to marry you. Inform her that you would enjoy pampering her for the rest of your lives.

Seashell Proposal

If you live near the beach, the seashell proposal is one of the best proposal ideas to consider.

Preparation: a bucket for shells; a beach blanket or towel. If the beach doesn’t have many shells, come prepared with lots of shells already in the bucket.

As you take a walk on the beach, pick up a lot of seashells along the way. Have her help you pick out beautiful shells to place in your bucket. Once you have a lot of shells, have her sit down on a blanket. Take the shells and write out your proposal. When you are done, get her and bring her to see your work. As she sees what you have written, get down and propose, then give her the ring. Take a camera to get a picture of the seashell proposal so you can remember it. Gather up the shells again after she says “yes,” and you can use the shells in your wedding or keep them to remember the special day by.

Idea #1:

Take your sweetheart to the exact place where you had your first date. Reminisce a little, and then say something like “We’ve had an amazing journey together so far, and now I think we’re ready to take the next step in that journey. I’m hoping you’ll do me the honor of marrying me.”

Idea #2:

Another great marriage proposal idea is to take her someplace where she’s never been before but has always wanted to go. Make it a surprise for as long as you can hold out. Then, when you get there, on the very last night, just before you’re ready to go home, you present her with a “souvenir” from their trip. When she opens it up, inside she’ll find, along with whatever other items you have in there, her engagement ring. She’ll eat it up and she’ll never see it coming.

Idea #3:

Play a trivia game together. When it is your sweetheart’s turn, casually say “Your question is: Will you marry me?” rather than the question written on the card.

4. Timing is everything,when proposing marriage to your bride to be, always do it in a place where the both of you are mentally and emotionally comfortable, and relaxed.

5. Another key to successful engagement etiquette is communication, be certain that marriage is something that the both of you truly desire and have communicated to be a future goal in your lives.

6. Remember to make this a private moment for just the two of you, never propose at another person’s event, (such as birthday parties, wedding receptions, etc.). It is important to give everyone’s special moment the same care and respect that you would give your own.

7. Make sure that you have tied up all loose ends or brought closure to all past relationships. There is nothing more confusing or chaotic than a third party in your relationship. When proposing marriage, you owe it to yourself and  to your future wife to start off on a clean, drama free slate.

Follow these seven tips and your bride to be will forever know, that on her proposal day, you were the one who showed gentleness, thoughtfulness and love.
