6 proposal ideas that work, according to married couples

You have finally found the one, mature and independent, yet sweet and down-to-earth. They even have an air of mystery around them, which excites you, and a sense of humor too, to top it all. Your decision is final.

How do you pop the question?

Married couples have the answers. They’ve been there and done that. They know what worked for them.

Whether you want to propose while shouting from the mountain top so that everyone can hear, or you want it to be private, the key is to first understand your partner.

 An extrovert won’t mind whether you hire a mob to represent you, or light a fireworks display in the sky. The same cannot be said of an introvert.

If you get cold feet whenever you think of how to propose, let these proposal ideas we are giving you, which come from the experience of married couples, help you choose.

Private proposal ideas

Put a silver engagement ring in a meal

Plan a date at home with your partner and make arrangements with a personal chef to cook in your house. Tell the chef to put the silver ring in one of the courses, cover the dish, then bring out the meal as usual. Remain as calm as possible so that your excitement won’t give you away prematurely.

Your partner, once they open the lid, thinking it is a meal, will be shocked to find an engagement ring. Get down on your knee and immediately propose.

A word of advice: Check out this ring size guide to avoid the embarrassment of buying an engagement ring that is either too small or too wide for your partner’s finger.

In a room full of you and your partner’s photos

If the two of you have been taking pictures throughout your relationship, get physical prints of them and hang them around the room in a creative way.

Once your partner walks into the room, take them around, reminding them of the occasion you took each picture. Then show them the last picture and trick them by telling them to flip it and see which date it was taken at the back.

They will find the words, “Will you marry me?” Finish off your proposal with the ring.

Watch a movie with a proposal scene

Find a romantic movie to watch with your partner at home and include snacks and drinks to lighten up the mood. Make the atmosphere in the room as sentimental as possible and make sure you have the ring.

Finally, when the proposal scene comes, take out the ring and propose alongside the proposal in the movie. This will give your proposal an emotional touch.

Public proposal ideas

Incorporate live music

Get tickets to a live concert or an orchestra. Try as much as possible to attend an event where the music set to play is your partner’s favorite. If it is a small concert, you can organize with the event planners to let you stand on stage and propose.

If you can’t propose on stage, wait till the music has reached a climax and your partner is excited then whip out the ring and do your thing.

Organize a flash mob

As long as it involves a flash mob, you can include a lot. Get a singing mob, or a dance mob to put on an electric performance out of the blue. Your partner has no idea what is coming.

When the performance is over, ask your partner to marry you in front of the crowd. The cheering crowd will boost your confidence. Flash mobs are so effective when proposing such that there is a website that advertises booking a flash mob.

Gather your friends and family

A great time to propose in front of the family is during a family gathering. When you have made sure all are present, raise a toast to get everyone’s attention. Then thank everyone for their hospitality and complement your partner in front of them.

Don’t beat around the bush, bend the knee and directly ask your partner for their hand in marriage.

Are you ready to propose?

There is no one-size-fits-all proposal, but the ideas we have given you have all worked for married couples. Choose what you see works for both of you and tweak it a bit to get the ultimate proposal that will work for you. Good luck!
