Love is in the air and proposals are blooming! What better
way to propose than an all out February blow out. Everyone always makes fun of
the over the top and cheesy proposal you see in the movies, but sometimes that’s
just what is needed. Valentine’s Day is a great day to plan something amazing
and unique just for her. Here are some fun ideas that you can think of when
planning to pop the big one;
The Nesting Proposal
Most ladies have sat their man down and made them watch the
wonderfully romantic “Serendipity”. Even though Jon stole Sara away by the end,
it was quite an ingenious proposal. Here’s how to match it. We like to call it “The
Nesting Proposal”. It resembles the Russian Nesting Dolls pattern where you beginning
with a large box and as it is opened there are smaller and smaller boxes
inside. Inside the smallest box is the
ring box. Nifty right?!
Flash Mob Proposal
I’m sure you’ve seen one of these. The popularity of flash
mob proposals has jumped in the last year and is great for a public display of
your love and creates wonderful memories. You don’t have to be an amazing
dancer or have friends who are. There are even groups online that will come
help you for free just because they love what they do. This kind of proposal
takes a lot of planning and practicing. Also be aware that if you are planning
it near local businesses to let them know as a curtsey.
The Media Proposal
There are so many ways to use the media in a fun and
creative way to propose. Just to throw some ideas out there; Skywriting and
flying banners are great but you have to be in the right place at the right
time. Take out an advertisement in the local newspaper or magazine that she
usually reads. This is one of my personal favorites, plan to have a movie date
and make a video proposal that is put into the commercials before the screening
of the film. Just make sure you get there on time! Stadium proposals have been
around forever but they still work wonders! Last but not least, the billboard
proposals are such a great surprise. You can even talk to local business about
sharing the space to help pay. All of these are great surprising ways to
pop the question!
