Idea-1: Treasure Hunt…….
Planning
Consider all of the places that have been special in your dating relationship– maybe the restaurant where you had your first date, the swing under a tree where you shared your first kiss, a favorite park or walking trail, etc.
Create clues that would help her to guess each place. Using a map, design a scavenger hunt for your girlfriend. Decide the order in which you want her to visit these favorite places. You’ll plant clues at each place leading her to the next place. Place the engagement ring in a miniature treasure chest.
Execution
Plant the clues at each spot in advance. Make certain they are secure and not too difficult to find; you may even want to involve people whenever possible to ensure none of the are lost (ask the restaurant hostess or movie theatre ticket booth worker, etc.) Explain what you’re doing, maybe even show them your girlfriend’s photo so they know to be on the lookout for her.
People love romantic proposals; they’ll be happy to help. Keep a cell phone handy and instruct your girlfriend to call you if she gets lost or can’t find the next clue. With the clue, place an explanation of why you selected the place and a favorite memory you’ve shared there.
Tell your girlfriend to meet you and hand her the clue that will take her to the first spot. Explain that she’s going on a treasure hunt and that you’ll see her at her final destination. Make that final spot very special, if possible the place she’s said she’d always like to be married. Perhaps a small, quaint chapel, large peaceful church, ornate temple or pier overlooking the river.
Wait for your girlfriend to arrive at the final point on the hunt. When she walks over to you, explain that for as long as you’ve known her she’s been your treasure. Ask her to allow you to treasure her for always as you pull out the box…
Idea -2 : “Surprise” Date……
Planning
This date depends upon several wonderful little surprises, each building up for the greatest surprise of you asking her to marry you over a romantic dinner. Feel free to add any other small surprises you might think of. For the day you’ve chosen to pop the question, tell her you’re throwing her a “surprise” date and that she should reserve the entire day.
Plan a nice breakfast that you’ll cook and serve for her. Pick up the necessary ingredients. Make reservations at a very nice restaurant. Order flowers. Buy her a nice new dress for the occasion. Make reservations for a car to pick her up and take her to dinner (or ask a friend to play chauffeur.) Rent a tux, or have your nicest suit dry cleaned. Get her a gift certificate to a day spa or for a facial, manicure, or some other kind of pampering activity. Make her an appointment for this if necessary.
Execution
Let her sleep in and you cook breakfast. Omelets or Belgian waffles with strawberries, fresh squeezed orange juice, whatever she’d like. Serve it to her in bed. Then do the dishes. That part is very important!Tell her that you’re leaving but instructions will follow. Then leave!Have a dozen roses delivered mid-morning. Next, have lunch delivered (Chinese or whatever she likes.) In the afternoon call her to “remind” her of her appointment at the ……… and the time and place for that afternoon.Then, drop the new dress off (anonymously if possible) with a note that she’s to wear it to dinner. Tell her what time to be ready by and that her driver will pick her up promptly at that time.
Have her driven to the restaurant and seated. You will not be waiting at the table, but nearby, unseen. Ask a waiter to deliver a note to her that reads, “Say ‘yes.’” Then, approach the table and get down on one knee. You can tell her that she never ceases to surprise and amaze you, or that you’re surprised that an incredible person like her could love you, yadda yadda… In other words, ask her to marry you!
