The Best Marriage Proposal Ideas for 2019
2019 is officially here and full of fresh possibilities, which is sure to include new and exciting marriage proposals. While it may seem overwhelming at first, with a bit of insight and some planning your marriage proposal can be perfectly special for both you and your partner.
When it comes to considering marriage proposal ideas, the way you pop the question should be something personal that reflects both you and your partner’s personalities. If you both love to be in the spotlight, consider proposing in a dramatic way. Or you may want to keep the proposal simple and more intimate if you both prefer quiet evenings at home. While your proposal will be memorable no matter how you do it, it’s best to consider your partner and make them feel comfortable and in his or her element.
Whether you are looking for something intimate, tips for a totally over-the-top proposal, or something completely unique to the two of you, we’ve got you covered.
1. Choose a favorite place – whether it's a hotel rooftop, national park, or where you had your first date – that has personal significance to the two of you. Once you're there, ask someone nearby to take a picture of you together, and instead of posing, drop down on one knee.
2. Coordinate with friends and family to have them each carry a different sign that spells out the big question. You can do this anywhere that is special to the two of you, and it will include your loved ones in your special day.
3. Create a video featuring all of the things that you love about your significant other and feature the video at a special time. You can rent out a movie theater for a grand gesture, show it during your vacation, or choose the comfort of your own home – as long as there is decent Wi-Fi! At the end of the video, get down on one knee and pop the question.
4. Plan a scavenger hunt that will take your future spouse through an adventure that ends with you getting down on one knee. Hide clues in places that are special to the two of you and create notes or incorporate mementos that will allow you to look back on your relationship and reminisce.
5. If you both are sports fans – and love a grand gesture – get down on one knee while cheering on your favorite team at their home stadium. The best time would be during halftime so that there are no distractions and you can get the crowd to join in on the excitement.
6. Get a flash mob going. One of the most creative proposal ideas makes your significant other the center of attention as you pop the question with the help of family, friends, and maybe some strangers. Coordinate with anyone that you know loves to dance (or loves your significant other) and choreograph a routine to take place in a local park, mall, or even in the middle of your street. Choose a song that your S.O. loves or has some special meaning and end the dance number by getting down on one knee.
7. A simple backyard proposal can make for an intimate moment that you both will cherish forever. Prep a tent with lights and Polaroids that celebrate all the moments leading up to this one and pop the question under the stars.
8. There’s nothing better than vacation proposal ideas. Take the love of your life to an iconic landmark to pop the question. Propose at your favorite travel destination for a backdrop that will certainly take your breath away.
Pro Tip: Have an undercover photographer capture your special moment, regardless of what type of proposal you decide on.
No matter what type of proposal you decide, make sure that you are showcasing your love for your significant other first and foremost. You’ll want to make the moment special, but not take away from the purpose of the proposal – to spend the rest of your life with the love of your life.
Good luck!
