19 Nov 7 Ideas for a Surprising Wedding Proposal!
Wedding Proposal: When Everything Begins
Our job is to deal with weddings, but each one of them started with a wedding proposal (and with a “yes” in reply), of course!
This is therefore a very important and delicate moment, that can really change life forever! So it is fundamental to prepare it with care and attention.
There are many sources of inspiration to find the best way of asking your partner the decisive “will you marry me?” question: surely your story, the things you have in common, your values, personalities, hobbies and interests are all elements that can help you.
So, do you want to propose?
But what if you really cannot find a suitable idea, something original and romantic at the same time?
Don’t worry, we have selected for you the following 7 gread inspirations that will help you find YOUR OWN wedding proposal!
(Just one suggestion: if the situation allows it, it might be a good idea to hire a photographer to secretly take some photos of the event. You might also think about having an engagement shoot immediately afterwards. Keeping a memory of this important occasion is wonderful, in addition you will be able to use the photos for your Save the dates, for example.)
1. At the restaurant
Choosing a dinner at an elegant restaurant is apparently not the most original idea, even if it is always very appreciated.
It can be made more surprising, however, in this way: agree with the venue manager or the waiter to have the dessert delivered to your partner on a decorated plate with the message “Will you marry me?” on it. The wedding ring can be placed on the dish, if you want, in its little box or even of the very dessert!

2. In a photobooth
On the pretext of taking amusing snapshots of the two of you, enter a photobooth and be ready to take the ring out at the right moment: the reaction will be impressed in the photos!

3. At the cinema
This requires some planning and the necessary agreements with the movie theatre, of course, but the surprise effect is great. So, you are together at the cinema, but instead of the film, another video appears on the screen, for example a collage of photos of the two of you, or a stop-motion video… the important is that it ends with the ritual question and that you are ready to kneel down with the ring in your hand!

4. Through a surprise egg
The guy of the following the picture did an excellent job, reproducing the typical toys of surprise eggs with his own features, and even with the instructions!
If you need to keep things more simple, just replace the toy with the ring and a pretty, romantic message: it will be greatly appreciated all the same, I am sure!

5. With a flash mob!
Also this idea requires careful, advance preparation, but with the help of your friends or of hired professionals, you can plan an amazing event with music, dance and a joyful atmosphere!

6. Asking for your best friend’s help
Find an ally in your dog or cat, tying the ring with a nice message to its collar or letting it carry a package containing them. They will surely have great success!

7. At home
You can choose not to create any particular event, but to surprise your partner in a normal moment of everyday life. But even in this case you can add a touch of romance and originality, as shown in this video which is one of the most beautiful wedding proposal ever (according to me ^_^)
What NOT to do for Your Wedding Proposal
These are only few of the possible ideas for a suprising wedding proposal, but whatever your choice is, there is a piece of advice I personally would like to give:
- Do not plan such a proposal during someone else’s wedding or party: it is not nice to draw all the guests’ attention from the spouses or the person who is celebrating: it’s their day, not yours, it’s better to find a more suitable occasion.
- If you’re thinking about a proposal surprise at your partner’s workplace, consider beforehand if this thing might put them into an awkward position or, even worse, cause real troubles with their boss! If you have even the slightest doubt about it, plan something different!
- Please avoid like the plague the idea of proposing after faking some tragic events, such as being arrested, having an accident and other horrible things (and this is what some ACTUAL boyfriends ACTUALLY did!!!), presuming that the feeling of relief and gratitude at the sight of the wedding ring will lead to a positive answer. I personally would be very very angry…like many others would, I bet!
