A Valentine's Proposal...

Valentine's Day is just around the corner and we think there's a few of you out there planning to pop the question on the most romantic day of the year. So we've decided to do all the hard work for you and come up with a few proposal ideas just in time for the 14th of February.

Plan Plan and Plan AGAIN - 

I'm sure you don't need us to tell you this, but preparation is KEY. Take it right back to basics and think about places that mean a lot to both of you, places you've loved over your time together or even somewhere you've both always wanted to go. If you don't want to seem over spontaneous and give the game away, try tying the proposal into something you already have planned like a holiday or a day trip.

Say It With Chocolate - 

Give your Valentine a big box of Chocolates as their gift, but first replace one of the chocolates inside with the engagement ring! She won't believe her eyes when she opens the box, and when she says yes you'll both be able to enjoy the chocolate! Everybody wins!

Recreating Your First Date - 

Tell your Valentine you're taking them somewhere special and recreate the first (or a very special) date that the two of you have shared. Perhaps the first restaurant you ever visited, a picnic, or a walk, play the same music and maybe wear a similar outfit. Then tell them it was on this date however long ago that you knew that they would be the person you wanted to marry - get down on one knee and pop the question! 

Make it even more special by creating a photo album of all your favourite memories - don't forget to leave some pages blank for the memories still to come!

Ask Them In Front of A Crowd - 

For the SUPER confident amongst you, proposing with an audience might be right up your street. So if you're planning on going to the theatre for Valentine's Day you may be able to call the theatre in advance and ask if you can propose on stage! (You may have be at least 99.9% sure they will say YES!) If you're other half is big fan of the arts then this may be right up your street - and the cast and crew could even get involved too!

A Jigsaw Proposal - 

This one is our favourite! Give your Valentine a very special puzzle, the whole puzzle can either be the words 'Will You Marry Me?' or just 1 piece can have the special message on it, just make sure you keep that piece for last - otherwise they'll guess straight away!

Don't forget - however you plan on proposing to your loved one, it'll be special no matter what!
