What are Some of the Best Exciting and Romantic Ways to Propose?
With Thanksgiving already over and Christmas just around the corner, here are some super-fun and out-of-the-box ideas on how to propose to your sweetheart and ask the biggest and most important question of them all:
Plan a romantic picnic
It can be casual, perhaps in your own yard with fairy lights, or quite epic, on top of a high mountain after an epic hike. And to make it super easy – Ask for Help!
Companies that create curated picnic experiences are in no short supply. For ideas, look on the Internet at my friends from picnic planning web sites.
First Date Do-Over
Do you remember your first date? Let’s do it again but with a surprise ending: A RING!
Surprise Party
Perhaps your beloved loves a big bash and the center of attention. If that’s the case, a super-unexpected and happy way to propose is to surprise him or her with a party and all the people that you love enjoying your love together.
Serenaded by Your Favorite Band
Countless couples I know met in part through their love of music. Score tickets to a good band and choose the right moment to propose. There’s no better place to get engaged if you live near a great concert venue like Sandia Casino Amphitheater!
Scavenger Hunt
This one requires, to be fair, a lot of forethought, imagination, and most important, planning. Basically you lay a trail of clues for your partner to follow until they reach the end, this means of course you’re proposing.
Hopefully, you will make use of locations that are meaningful and resonate with the two of you specifically (i.e. your favorite bakery; the park you stroll through every weekend; the baseball stadium where you root for your favorite team; the restaurant you went to on your first date; etc).
Custom Puzzle or Game Night
You can even custom order a puzzle that has the words Will You Marry Me or design one that the answer is a ring or “Marry Me” ... You get the point! You can include friends in on this one in a fun way as well.
Skywriting
It was, like, written in the stars for you, right? Propose in the sky by hiring a company to skywrite your devotion. Epic, indeed!
Hot Air Balloon during the Albuquerque International Balloon Fiesta.
Make your partner’s heart skip a beat and ascend to new heights by proposing on a hot air balloon ride. For extra romance, wonder and awe, I suggest doing this on sunset or sunrise ride.
Scuba Diving or Snow Skiing
For those of you that love the water of the snow and are “adventurous and cavalier”, two good, fun and memorable ideas.
A Holiday Proposal
People just LOVE the holidays, and the thought of a proposal then. The possibilities are endless: A ring falling out of the cornucopia on Thanksgiving, a ring on the Christmas tree as an ornament, a ring in the gingerbread house, a ring as the 8th gift of Hanukkah…. Or not a ring at all, just a snowy sleigh ride and a question….
“Will you marry me?”
