8 Romantic Valentine's Day Proposal Ideas
Proposing on Valentine's Day can be tricky. On one hand, it is the most romantic day of the year so it can be a good day to pop the question. On the other hand, proposing on a holiday can turn super cheesy if it isn't done properly. ... The element of surprise is a must, especially on Valentine's Day.
Need ideas for an amazing proposal?
Go Cliché!
Itâs OK to embrace your favorite Valentineâs Day clichĂ©s, as sometimes itâs the silliest moments that become the biggest surprises. For this proposal idea, choose an appropriate time to present your significant other with a large box of chocolates and a stuffed animal or a dozen red roses. Before the big moment, sneak the engagement ring inside the box of delectable sweets.
Once you present them with these gifts (that may result in a chuckle or an eye roll), share a story that celebrates you as a couple. Then say âYou know something? Life, truly, is like a box of chocolates.â Encourage them to open the box as you drop to one knee, gazing upon their face as they find whatâs inside. Then finish the quote by saying âYou never know what youâre going to get.â
Storybook Lane
Why not make your engagement one that will be told for generations to come? This proposal idea dives right into the story of you and your love, celebrating the places and moments that have shaped you as a couple. You can take a drive to your earliest memories together whether itâs a playground, high school parking lot, or even where your first date took place. Tour your memories in these places and reflect on how they defined your love for each other.
Then, pull up to a restaurant where youâve made a reservation. Your partner may ask âWhy are we here?â or âI donât recognize this place.â Thatâs your cue to pull out the ring and say âThis is my new favorite memory⊠itâs where I celebrated my first dinner with my new fiancĂ©.â All thatâs left is to embrace and celebrate the start of this next exciting phase together.
Spa Day
Surprising your sweetheart with a spa day is a perfect way to kick off your Valentineâs Day proposal. Even better? Creating your own spa atmosphere in the comfort of your home. While your partner is away, prepare the bedroom by arranging rose petals on the bed either in a heart shape or in their name. You can also place a new book and their favorite cup of tea on their nightstand for extra comfort. Then, draw a warm bath and fill it with soothing bath salts before surrounding the tub with their favorite scented candles.
When they arrive home, joke how you wanted them to relax before a lifetime of stress with you. As you pull out the ring, tell them how you tried to get the bath to a perfect temperature, but that nothing will make them feel as warm as the way they make you feel.
Home Cooked Meal
Nothing says âI love youâ more than stepping out of your comfort zone. And sometimes, this can mean cooking a romantic dinner. With thousands of cookbooks and YouTube How-To videos at your disposal, cooking your partnerâs favorite meal is a thoughtful way of showing them the leaps youâre willing to take to make them happy.
To help set the romantic mood, consider preparing some simple yet aphrodisiac bites such as oysters and chocolate-covered strawberries. Once they see the effort you put into making your evening together special, share how youâd be willing to do anything that scares you as long as it was with them.
Movie Night
Nothing beats a movie night complemented with popcorn and a box of chocolate-covered raisins. Just dim the lights, grab a blanket, and flick on your favorite romantic film. Movies have a way of connecting us, as they hold a mirror to the way we treat and see others who are important in our lives. Why not use this as inspiration?
During the filmâs climax, recite the lines spoken by the main character as they profess their love to their partner. Near the end of the monologue, pause the film and turn to your love, telling them you think you can do a better job of conveying what the actor is trying to say. Then, make the most romantic day of the year one that you and your soon-to-be-fiancĂ© will remember forever.
Ice Skating
Many places still offer the chance to go ice skating during Valentineâs Day, one of the most romantic ways to spend an afternoon or evening. Itâs also an opportunity to hold hands, share some laughs, and make new memories before the ice melts away.
For your proposal, channel your inner goofball by taking a fall to the ground â unless, of course, it happens naturally! When your sweetheart asks if youâre OK, begin to say âWell, now that weâve broken the ice, and seeing as Iâm already on the groundâŠâ Then, if you can manage it, get on one knee and ask âWill you marry me?â Hopefully, theyâll spare you from a freezing knee and lift you up with a warm hug and an engagement.
Valentineâs Day Getaway
If youâre still recovering from the holiday season, why not skip the crowded restaurants and expensive gifts and take a mini-vacation to celebrate Valentineâs Day? You can surprise your sweetheart with a spontaneous, romantic weekend in a quaint Airbnb at a destination of your choice.
Whether itâs a trip to the coast or a weekend in the mountains, make your time together count by showing them how adventure can be found anywhere â as long as it is with them. Find the right opportunity to execute your perfect proposal, and turn what was originally a surprise weekend getaway into a proposal story to share with loved ones upon your return.
Surprise Party
Some people prefer to avoid the clichĂ©s and silliness of Valentineâs Day â and thatâs OK. Instead of celebrating the holiday, why not turn February 14th into a giant surprise party for your partner? Explain how your friends and family wanted to celebrate the love you have for each other by telling them âWe had to surprise somebody, right?â
You can enjoy delicious food, fun games, and maybe even some karaoke, where youâll have the chance to sing a ballad that embodies how you feel. Follow the song with a marriage proposal in front of your loved ones by ending with âThey say when you marry someone, youâre marrying the family too, right?â Then, relish the joyous applause and cheers from the crowd after you hear that resounding âYes.â
