Planning A Wedding Proposal? Consider These Wow-Worthy Ideas

Proposals are either the most exciting or nerve-wracking part of planning a wedding, depending on whom you ask. But whether you're proposing yourself or helping someone else plan to propose to their partner, there's no doubt that it can be both stressful and exciting at the same time. There may not be an exact right way to go about it, but if your heart is set on making this moment one they'll never forget, here are some ideas that just might help:

Design Your Personalized Ring

If you're knowledgeable enough about diamonds to know what you want, why not design your ring before asking for her hand in marriage? The best part is that plenty of websites are willing to work with you directly so this idea can be much more affordable than you think. From creating a ring that matches her favorite bands as well as her birthstone, to making one that's a replica of an old family heirloom there are solutions suitable for various budgets, so you'll be able to craft something so unique and special that she'll be amazed you managed to do it. Depending on the kind of ring you want to g with,  you might even be able to fully personalize it and make it truly one of a kind just like the love you share.

You might even want to use Ringspo to try to find more inspiration!

Place The Ring Inside Of Her Book

If your girl is a book lover, try slipping the ring in between the pages of her favorite book and then watching to see if she opens it. This way, when she sees that one special passage in which you’ve placed the engagement ring, it’ll be so much more meaningful than if you’d given her a generic book with no sentimental value whatsoever. It's the perfect way to incorporate her favorite hobby into such an important milestone in her life. Just be sure you're getting a book she loves and that the ring is placed in a way that it won't fall out until she opens it. Regardless of how it's done, this is one of those ideas that she'll be telling her friends about for years to come.

Propose At A Hockey Game If She's Super Excited About The Sport

If she's a huge lover of ice hockey and you're not, this one might be the perfect compromise. Instead of going to a movie or miniature golfing as she suggested, why not suggest attending a hockey game instead? It'll give her something fun to look forward to at the same time it gives you both an excuse for spending some quality alone time together without your friends pestering you about being lovebirds all night long. Plus, if you wear jerseys that match each other, it'll take on that adorable first date kind of feeling that can't help but bring a smile to her face even before she says yes.

Place The Ring In A Box That Resembles Something Else Entirely

While it might sound like you could be taking the easy way out, purchasing the ring inside of something other than a traditional box can give you far more creative options to work with. For instance, if she's a shoe fanatic you can slip the ring inside of a high-end designer shoebox. Or if she works as a barista, you could place it inside of a takeaway coffee cup and just wait for the moment she picks it up and realizes what's inside. The opportunities are endless and the best part is that this idea can be even pulled off with a ring that's been purchased from your local mall jewelry store without too much trouble at all.

Build Her A Website About How Much You Love Her Then Pop The Question

Is she a bit of a computer geek? It doesn't matter if she's not, but if she is and you know it, this idea may be just what you need. Instead of going to the traditional jewelers to pick up an engagement ring, head over to one of those websites that allows you to personalize all kinds of things like mugs or t-shirts with your photos on them. Then, use the space provided in the “about me” section for her website to write how much you love her and why. She'll never suspect that when she finishes reading it she'll be staring down at a diamond engagement ring along with all your heartfelt reasons for wanting to spend forever with her.

Train Her Dog To  Bring The Ring To Her

If your girlfriend has a dog and you happen to know the pooch is well-trained, you might want to consider this one. Simply purchase a diamond engagement ring that's been fashioned into a dog tag and have the lovely canine carry it to her as a gift from you. If her furry friend is a well-trained dog, you might also want to consider training him to drop the ring into her hand or at least bring it directly to you to present to your soon-to-be fiance.  It might seem like something out of a movie, but she'll never forget how thoughtful you were for thinking of this one. 

So there you have it, these ideas that can help make your proposal truly one of a kind. Whether you decide to go big or small, spend a ton of money or avoid breaking the bank, these are guaranteed to help make your proposal an event she'll never forget. Good Luck!
