Many women have been dreaming about their wedding
day since they were little girls and for many their daydream
begins with daydreaming about the proposal. They may have
built up this moment for so long in their minds that they
are expecting a monumental proposal and may be disappointed
by anything that is less than creative. Many men make the
mistake of thinking that their significant other will be so
excited that he is proposing that it won’t matter how he pops
the question. While it is true that she will most likely be
ecstatic over the proposal it is also a fact that she is likely
to be disappointed if the proposal is not spectacular, creative
or exciting. When a woman first begins sporting her wedding
ring she is likely to be asked by just about everyone who
notices her ring, how the soon to be groom proposed. The person
making the inquiry will be expecting an exciting story and
the soon to be bride may be slightly embarrassed if she doesn’t
have an interesting story to tell about the engagement.
Surveys have shown that it is not the amount
of money that a man spends on his proposal that matters but
the amount of effort that he puts into planning the proposal
that really attracts a woman’s attention. A scavenger hunt
is an interesting yet not necessarily expensive way to propose.
Having a friend hand your soon to be bride a note containing
clues to where to start the scavenger hunt will help to build
the anticipation. You can include several clues that lead
to small gifts such as flower, a CD and candy and have the
last clue lead her directly to wear you are waiting to propose.
This is a very creative idea that shows that you put a great
deal of thought into your proposal.
Throwing a surprise party for your girlfriend
is an interesting way to include her family and friends in
the proposal. You might try planning a surprise birthday party
for your girlfriend but let her think that she has spoiled
the surprise by “accidentally” slipping and giving away the
secret. This way she will be expecting a surprise party for
her birthday and will have no idea that you are also planning
to propose.
Another creative way to propose to your girlfriend
is to take out a full page ad in a section of the newspaper
that she reads regularly. Be sure to be there when the newspaper
arrives so that you can be ready when she reads the ad. This
is not only a creative way to propose but it also provides
your girlfriend with an adorable souvenir of the day you proposed.
She can frame the ad that you placed and display it in a special
place so she will always remember your creative proposal.
Proposing over a romantic dinner in an elegant
restaurant is one of the most classic ways to propose but
it is not exactly very creative. One way to make this type
of proposal more memorable is to drop hints all night that
you plan to propose and then not propose until you are leaving
the restaurant after you have paid your bill. You could check
your pockets as if are trying to see if you left your credit
card at the table and as you are going through your pockets
you could seize the opportunity to catch your girlfriend by
surprise by pulling out the ring and proposing. Your girlfriend
may be angry with you by this time for teasing her but she
will quickly forgive you once you propose.
A creative proposal is sure to be a memorable
proposal as well. Although your girlfriend is likely to be
very excited that you are proposing at all, she may be somewhat
disappointed if your proposal is not very creative. _____________________________________
