A spontaneous way to propose is always a good idea. However, planning it can become stressful if you don’t exactly know how you want to ask. You could simply just ask but others like to make the day even more memorable. With this list of spontaneous ideas, you will find the perfect spontaneous way to propose to your special person.
Pick a place that you have been to as a couple that is your absolute favorite. No matter where it may be, this is one of the perfect choices for a spontaneous way to propose. Make the memory of your favorite couple spot even more romantic.
Slip the ring on while your soon-to-be fiancé is sleeping then do a romantic morning wake-up call with champagne and strawberries.
Strolling through the park you may see a street caricaturist. You can ask them to do a portrait of you and your partner. You could even ask them to put word bubbles, where you would propose to your partner, and a word bubble with your partner saying yes. It is a wonderful idea to commemorate the day you were engaged.
Send your unsuspecting fiancé-to-be on a treasure hunt that ends with your marriage proposal. Start with a clue at home (a handwritten note or text message) that leads to a tour of your favorite spots all over town.
Ask the divers at an aquarium to put on a proposal show inside their biggest fish tank. Give them a (waterproof) sign that says, “Will you marry me?” to hold up against the glass and then position yourselves for what will, at first, seem like feeding time.
Plan a romantic destination getaway for two. When you’re on the plane, use the loudspeaker system (of course, run your plan by the flight attendants first) and propose at 35,000 feet. Of course, this spontaneous way to propose doesn’t have to be one on the plane, it can wait and be done after you reach your destination.
As you may have seen all over social media and sometimes the news. People tend to use the holidays to their advantage when planning to propose. New Years is widely used as a time to propose, because of the symbolism for a new beginning.
Where was the place you and your partner had your first date or kiss? Recreating your first date is not only a spontaneous way to propose, but it is also a romantic way to show your partner how much they mean to you.
A spontaneous way to propose is to do something that is similar to Russian Nesting Dolls. If you want to do this, try doing it around their birthday, Christmas, or valentines. However, you can just have it set for a random day. Set your partner down and give them the biggest box you can find. Inside the box will be another box, then another box, then another box, and so on until the ring box is the last one inside.
This is the perfect idea for the sentimental couple. Create a sweet backdrop for your proposal by displaying all of the pictures you’ve taken together throughout your relationship. Aside from pictures, you could also use other special mementos, like love notes or concert ticket stubs.
Even if you can barely stand on your own two feet, ice skating is always a fun date idea, especially around the holidays. Bringing your S.O. to the center of the rink and getting down on one knee is one of the most unforgettable romantic ways to propose. Just make sure they’re okay with being the center of attention!
If you’re proposing around the holidays, take advantage of seasonal backdrops and décor to create an unforgettable (and festive) moment. This gorgeous tunnel of lights is located in Japan, but you don’t have to travel to the opposite side of the world to pull off the same effect — a festival of lights or holiday market in your hometown is just as romantic.
This idea isn’t for the faint of heart (or those with a fear of heights) but asking your love to marry you while soaring thousands of feet in the air is definitely one of the most romantic ways to propose.
If you and your S.O. aren’t afraid of the spotlight, pop the question onstage at a concert. This of course takes a fair amount of coordination beforehand, and unless you have a connection to the performer, it could become complicated or downright impossible. But you don’t have to be onstage to make it a memorable moment — get tickets to see the first artist you saw in concert together or propose during a special song that you both love.
If you already share pet parent duties with your partner, why not also involve your pets in the proposal? You can secretly add a new tag to your pet’s collar with a proposal message or create a custom sign to help you pop the question.
Announcing your engagement to your friends and family is an exciting moment, but it’s even better when they’re there to witness the proposal for themselves.
For those anime and Pokémon fans out there. This is not only adorable but an amazingly spontaneous way to propose to your partner.
If you have kids together or you were a single parent now in a serious relationship, you can show your partner how much you and your kids love them. Ask your child(ren) to help ask your partner to marry you. It is the most romantic and spontaneous way to propose to someone.
The most unique and spontaneous way to propose is by switching the roles. If you are a woman and your partner is a man, propose to him! Yes, it’s tradition in heterosexual relationships for a man to propose to a woman, but this is the 21st century, people! If you’re a girl who simply can’t wait any longer to get engaged, why not take matters into your own hands? You’ve found the one you want to spend your life with and shouldn’t feel the need to hold back because of taboos. Proposing as a woman is a romantic gesture that shows that you’re confident and open-minded — two amazing qualities that are an important foundation for any relationship.
A drone proposal?! YEP. This guy went all out and while at a park with his girlfriend, a drone flew in with the ring attached. He plays it off well, acting as if he’s only curious as to what is attached to the drone. Then drops down to one knee and asks his girl the life-changing question.
