Well don’t fret any further, we’ve put our thinking caps on and came up with a few proposal ideas that are sure to be unforgettable, will help you secure a “Yes”, and hopefully, won’t end in tragedy.

But first, don’t forget to put a ring on it! 

The sheer mention of an engagement ring can cause a horde of mesmerised well-wishers to come pounding over to ogle at the aforementioned ring.

If you have been looking at engagement rings then you’ll know that there is a wide variety of choice available and it can often be difficult to know what you want. If so, you might want to consider Vashi diamond engagement rings. They enable you to design your dream engagement ring, right down to the setting, loose diamond and style; making the process a whole lot simpler. Now that that’s sorted, let’s get to the all-important ideas...

Imaginative and original ways to propose 

The treasure hunt  - This is a fun and entertaining way to propose to your partner. It’s pretty simple, arrange a scavenger hunt by compiling a series of clues that hold some fond memory or inside joke; with each leading to the next. Hide them in various places in your home and as your partner reaches the last clue - “will you marry me?” – be ready to get down on one knee. However, a word of warning – be careful when hiding the (very expensive) engagement ring.

The surprise trip - Okay, this one isn’t very creative per sey but we believe it still deserves a place on the list. Whisk your partner away for a surprise weekend. Maybe take her to the awe-inspiring Fjords of Norway, the exotic beaches of the Caribbean or let the stress melt away at a spa break. Wherever you decide to go, make it special and, find a secluded spot to pop the almighty question. However, as you may have noticed this is a considerably pricey option, so unless you have been saving the pennies, you might want to steer clear of this idea. 

The YouTube star - Take advantage of social media and record yourself either serenading your partner with her favourite song or put together a photo montage of your love story and end the video by popping the question. Upload it to YouTube, share the video with your partner and when she eventually reaches the end, get down on one knee. You never know, you could become the next YouTube wonder and have a fiancé in tow.

The Busker - Whenever you pass a specific street busker, do you hear your partner go on and on about how much they adore them and their music? If so, why not incorporate them into your proposal? Don’t laugh, we’re being serious! Arrange for the street busker to sing your partner’s favourite song and as you pass, get the busker to sing “will you marry me”. When they do, turn to your partner and drop down to one knee. 

And there you have it, a few ideas to get your creative juices flowing; we hope that it has given you some inspiration or that you’re even considering one or two from the list. Whatever you choose to do, do it with passion. One final thing - good luck!
