A Valentine’s Day Proposal: How to Make a Declaration of Love
It’s the most romantic day of the year, so how about using Valentine’s Day as the perfect day to propose to him or her? And with every bold declaration of love, you want a romantic speech prepared.
The experts at Beaverbrooks have put together their top ideas for the most beautiful Valentine’s Day proposal to make you stand out from the crowd when you think about asking the big question.
Romantic and Unique Valentine’s Day Proposal Ideas
Propose on vacation
Pull out all the stops for Valentine’s Day and treat your partner to a romantic break. Pick a place that means something to both of you, or a place your partner has always wanted to go. That way, you’ll have some sweet details and reference points in your speech and future vows.
Whether you’ve decided on a chic city break or a beach destination, asking the question during a trip not only makes the vacation extra special, but also gives you a special destination to return to on upcoming anniversaries.
Recreate your first date
Going back to the beginning to talk about the future can make your proposal all the more meaningful.
Whether you met at a bar, dined at your favorite restaurant, or took a stroll, reenact the day or night and when the moment is perfect, get on one knee and ask her to say “yes” to yours to say a happy ending.
Valentine’s Day proposal cards
Who doesn’t love getting a card from their (not-so-secret) beau on Valentine’s Day?
This year, raise the romantic stakes by writing as many cards as possible; each contains a different reason why you love it, some beautiful valentine’s day quotes, or a picture of special times you shared together.
Make a trail of maps around the house, eventually leading to the best of them all; the one who asks her to share the rest of her life with you, like this super cute design from Not On The High Street.
Go for your favorite walk
Why not blow your loved one away on your favorite walk together? Surrounded by beautiful scenery, it’s the perfect excuse to hold hands and talk about your fondest memories together.
You might even find a place to set your camera on a timer and capture the moment you get down on one knee or iIf you or your partner love a bit of technology, attach the engagement ring (safe!) to a quadcopter or drone and let it fly down to you while you take your partner for a walk. Then you seem just as surprised by the drone as your partner until it comes within range – then pull off the ring and ask the question.
A locket of love
Before you decide on a diamond ring, why not say it with jewelry first? For old-world romance, you can’t beat a beautiful locket, and it’s even better when it comes with a secret note.
After a relaxing walk or a romantic lunch, hand them the locket—we love this Beaverbrooks tree heart locket—as you begin your proposal speech.
Enjoy a cozy night in
If you want your proposal to be a more intimate affair, at-home proposals are the way to go. Staying at home is the new night out now, so it’s the perfect time to pop the question over a romantic candlelit dinner for two.
Prepare your favorite food, put on romantic music and dress as if you are going to the most exclusive restaurant. Then dazzle your loved one with the question they’ve always dreamed of answering.
Get the pets involved
If you share a cat or dog, come home early, put some champagne in the fridge, and prepare a nice meal.
Attach the ring to your pet’s collar with a tag – and let your partner greet them as they walk in the door. As soon as they see the ring, propose and celebrate your engagement!
Decorate your house
Wait until your partner is asleep, in another room, or has gone shopping and set out balloons, candles and rose petals for a truly romantic proposal.
When you return you will be surprised to find a converted house! Then celebrate with a glass of champagne before sharing your good news with the world.
Set up a treasure hunt
If you love the great outdoors – or you could even recreate this in your home – this Valentine’s Day proposal will definitely be a winner. Create a treasure hunt in one of your favorite locations.
You could openly plan this with your partner as a fun activity with lots of friends. Then, at the end of the trail, surprise them with your suggestion.
The riddle suggestion
Embrace your inner geek by planning a relaxing afternoon at home, then casually suggest playing a jigsaw puzzle.
Bring out a personalized puzzle that reads “Will you marry me?” when completed. This idea can also work very well with Scrabble.
The fake photoshoot
Tell your partner you’ve won a romantic couple photo shoot. What you really did is hire a photographer to take pictures of you in one of your favorite places to capture your proposal.
Dress smartly and then propose mid-shoot. You could then have a romantic engagement photo shoot to celebrate.
Say it with cake to your Valentine’s Day proposal
If your partner has a sweet tooth, how about ordering a bunch of cupcakes that say, “Will you marry me?” in icing and making them wait for their arrival from work – or a classic love heart with “Marry Me” candy? Or if you’re in the mood for some out-of-the-ordinary baking, you can carve the words into the cake to reveal the question as they’re being carved.
And if you’re feeling brave, you can hide the ring in the cake or on the cupcake icing (the kind of icing we’re into) – but make sure to avoid any potential choking hazards!
