Who would have guessed that almost 6 million people get engaged on V day! Here are some ideas to propose to your loved one if you want to make this Valentine’s Day a memorable one for a lifetime.
Given that Valentine's Day is celebrated as "the day of love," it's hardly surprising that about 6 billion engagements take place on that day. On one of the most romantic days of the year, people show their undying love by proposing marriage. Nearly six million couples get engaged every year on Valentine's Day, making it among the most popular proposal occasions. If you're thinking of proposing on Valentine's Day, you might be pondering what would make your proposal memorable. Remember what makes you unique as a partnership, including your shared past, shared interests, and shared experiences. Remember to take your partner into account as well. For instance, not everyone enjoys making a big show of support for a cause. All of this information might be overwhelming. However, all it takes is a spark of imagination to get things moving. For inspiration on how to pop the question on Valentine's Day, consider these ten suggestions. The best part is that if you have a ring already, you can put them together all in a matter of days!
This timeless Valentine's Day favorite
Since this is a Valentine's Day proposal, you should embrace the cliches associated with the celebration. It's an excellent diversionary tactic. Gift your sweetheart the traditional balloons, roses, a cuddly soft toy, and a large heart-shaped package of candies. For the ultimate Valentine's Day surprise, swap one of the sweets for a ring.
Take a stroll or trek together
Borrowing from the Schitt's Creek playbook, you may propose to your special someone while out on a romantic stroll or hike. Assuming you are at a vantage point, you may advise them to take some pictures and then propose when their turn around.
Propose at home
There are countless romantic possibilities in the comfort of your own home, where you might propose in a setting that is already dear to your heart. Create a path of candles and roses from the door to where you will be waiting with the ring. Prepare a picnic in the living room. Another option is to make their favorite dinner and propose after dessert. (Added bonus: avoiding the crush at Valentine's Day restaurants.)
Propose breakfast in bed
Even if your significant other has a hunch that a Valentine's Day proposal is in the works, they likely won't be expecting it first thing in the morning. Make her a hearty breakfast in bed and leave the gift bag on the plate, or serve coffee from a cup that reads "Just Engaged" before dropping on one knee.
Write a passionate love letter
If you have a way with words, try the tried-and-true method of penning a letter of affection for your significant other. It's an elegant way to pop the question, and they'll have something to remember your proposal by for years to come. It will bring them back to this same moment every they read it.
Propose during a photo shoot
You don't have to hire a professional photographer, but a photo shoot is a great way to propose and acquire some pictures at the same time. Find a picture booth before or after your Valentine's date. Ask for your partner's hand in marriage "in the heat of the moment" by bringing them inside. The photographs will record their expressions.
