Proposing marriage is one of the biggest leaps in a relationship you can take, so you want it to be special. You may want to be traditional, or you might want to do it in a more creative and unique way. The most important aspect of the proposal is that it is memorable and something you can look back on and smile about. Each proposal method can be done by a man or woman.
Party
Invite some close friends to your house or apartment for a proposal party. The guests will know, but it should be surprised. At some point during the party, ask your significant other to get something from another room. When she comes back into the party area, surprise her with a production. This may be a song if your guests are willing, or it might be a skit that ends with you getting down on one knee and proposing.
Picnic
Ask her out on a picnic date in the park or on a hiking trail. Before the date, find a secluded spot where you spell out a proposal with stones or other natural elements. After a romantic picnic, ask her to go on a walk with you and lead her to your proposal.
Dessert
Bake a cake or other favorite dessert. Put a ring or other token into the dessert after it comes out of the oven. If the dessert is a cake, you can push it down into the cake and cover the hole with icing. Make sure your sweetheart gets the serving with the ring or token by putting a special decoration on that spot.
Festival
If your town has festivals, plan to go there with your sweetheart. As you make your way through the festival, purchase small items that you have prearranged with the vendors. Start out by buying her some flowers or other romantic item. Another item may be a love message in a pretty frame. The actual proposal may be at a handmade jewelry booth, where the vendor has a selection of rings for your sweetheart to choose from. After she makes her selection, get down on one knee and ask her to marry you. A festival proposal will require some advance preparation, but it will be worth it.
Where It All Began
Plan to take your future spouse to the place where you had your first date. If you want this to be a surprise, blindfold him until you arrive at your destination. When it's time to propose, talk about how you wanted to go back to where it all began because it is symbolic of beginning the rest of your life together.
