5 Proposal Ideas That Are Sure to Get a Yes

You’ve already locked in the engagement ring financing, and you have the ring in hand. You can barely take your mind off your future with your partner. Now it’s time to create the perfect proposal you and your partner are sure to remember forever.

You have plenty of options, from destination proposals to photoshoots, but only you know your partner well enough to predict their dream proposal. This article covers some of the best proposal ideas sure to get an enthusiastic “yes” from your partner.

The Dream Destination Proposal

Proposing to your partner in a dream destination is a great idea for couples who love to travel and see the world. Consider what destinations you and your partner love most, whether a beach getaway, a mountain hike, or a visit to a beautiful historic city. 

After choosing the location, contact a local tour guide to help you time things just right, or look for online proposal services specializing in destination proposals to help set things up. The best part is that the proposal doubles as a vacation. Once you hear “yes,” you two can enjoy everything the destination offers to celebrate the engagement.

The Memory Lane Proposal

A memory lane proposal involves revisiting the places that mark significant milestones in your time together. That might include places like:

• Where you first met
• Your first date spot
• The first place you said “I love you”

En route to your destination, you might leave handwritten notes or photos that memorialize these moments throughout your relationship. As you visit these special places, you two can reminisce about how you’ve grown together over the years. All this builds to the peak, where you’ll mark the next big stride in your relationship by getting down on one knee. 

A Home-Cooked Dinner Surprise

No need to go out in public to do the proposal. If you prefer something cozier, or your partner is more of a homebody, the home-cooked dinner surprise might be for you.

Start by setting the mood and creating a comfy atmosphere. Light some candles, turn on soft music, and decorate your home with flowers to up the romance. Cook up their favorite dish (or dishes) and mix their favorite drink.

This builds anticipation as you move toward popping the question, creating a cozy, romantic atmosphere that makes it easy for your partner to shout, “Yes!”

The Couple’s Photoshoot

A couple’s photoshoot could work well if you want a lower-pressure proposal idea your partner won’t see coming.

Book a casual or themed shoot with a pro photographer — bonus points if you have a trusted friend who could do it — while making it seem like “just a fun activity” to your partner. Then, find a location with great scenery that fits the theme.

Meanwhile, coordinate with the photographer to decide the perfect moment to pop the question. A nice little bonus about this proposal idea is you’ll have plenty of beautiful photos to remember the special day forever.

The Pet-Assisted Proposal

Do you or your partner have pets you adore? Enlist your furry friend in your proposal for an experience that melts your partner’s heart. An excellent way to include your pet in the proposal is to attach the ring and a small, handwritten note to the pet’s collar.

Then, you could act like your pet just did something surprising and have your partner run over to stumble upon the ring and the note. Stand a bit further away from the pet so that when your partner sees the note and ring, you can get down on one knee as they turn around to look at you.

Pop the Question in One of These Ways

Planning a proposal may cause plenty of nerves, but that’s a good sign. It means you care about creating the most beautiful and romantic moment you two will remember forever.

Whether it’s a favorite destination, a trip down memory lane, a home-cooked dinner surprise, a photoshoot, or a pet proposal, you have several ways to pop the question in a way that is sure to get an overjoyed “yes.”
