Marriage Proposal Ideas

Congratulations! You've decided to pop the question. You purchased the ring and want to make your proposal one she'll always remember. The only problem is --- you have no clue how to propose marriage.

Well, no worries. We are going to share our top 10 ideas with you. Although you'll find these marriage proposal ideas are listed from our least favorite to the absolute best, all of the ideas are good!

10. Scavenger Hunt

If your girlfriend likes mysteries, send her on a scavenger hunt. First, send her to the place the two of you first met. Next, send her to the place where you had your first date. End the scavenger hunt by meeting her at the place where you had your first kiss and then pop the question.

9. Video Tape Your Proposal

Record yourself proposing to your fiance, then download it to a blank dvd. Next, invite her over to watch a movie and secretly pop in your surprise dvd.

8. Memory Photo Book

7. A Bouquet of Roses

Another special marriage proposal idea is to order a dozen red roses and include a card that says "Will you marry me?" Now, show up on her job with the flowers, the card, and a diamond ring. Ask her to marry you in front of all of her work colleagues.

6. Share it With Friends

Invite her, along with a group of your friends or family members, over to your place for dinner and a movie. At the end of dinner get down on one knee and propose right there in front of everyone.

5. Romantic Picnic

This is a good marriage proposal idea for a hot summer day. Plan a romantic picnic for just the two of you. Prepare a few romantic dishes and hide the engagement ring box inside the picnic basket. Now that's one picnic ants couldn't even ruin :-)

4. Restaurant Proposal

Order a cheesecake or regular cake from her favorite restaurant and make dinner reservations there at the same time. Ask the restaurant to write the words "Will you marry me?" on the cake. After the two of you have dinner, order dessert. Arrange ahead of time to have the special cake brought out to her in lieu of the dessert she ordered.

3. Fortunate Love

Does she like Chinese food? Invite her over to your place for Chinese. Order her favorite Chinese dishes and arrange them nicely on the table by candle light. After dinner, offer her a special fortune cookie that holds your proposal on the inside.

2. Will You Marry Me Puzzle

If she enjoys watching movies and playing games, plan a game night at her place. Disguise your proposal as a puzzle that works out to read "Will you marry me?" and pretend to work on it with her as the two of you watch a movie and eat popcorn.

#1 Message in a Bottle

Imagine the two of you are walking along the beach when all of a sudden you stumble upon a bottle with a message inside. Astonished, you urge your fiance' to open the bottle and retrieve the note. To her surprise, she finds a romantic marriage proposal from you inside the bottle.

Don't live near a beach? Then have the bottle shipped to her workplace or to her home instead. Either way, this will be a proposal she will never forget.
