No. 2 Surprise Massage

Build up anticipation by spending the night at a hotel and treat them to a delicious champagne brunch. When afternoon arrives surprise them with a massage at the spa. Everyone loves a good pamper session so this is the perfect way to Indulge your sweetheart’s senses. Just as the treatment comes to an end, switch places with the masseuse and start massaging your way to their left hand.

No. 3 A Hike to Remember

Perfect for the one who would rather spend a day wandering through the wilderness than high street shopping. Plan an afternoon walking a scenic trail with an adventurous hike to a high peak with breath-taking views.

Enjoying a day-long activity together with just the two of you will remind your other half just how much you enjoy spending time with one another. When you reach your destination, spend a few minutes taking in the views and when they least expect it begin by expressing how much you love and value your sweetheart. End with the big question! Make sure you capture the moment by asking a friend or professional to be on standby at a specific time to snap the perfect shot when you get down on one knee!

No. 4 Afternoon Tea

Heart shaped sandwiches, miniature tarts, cakes and delicious sweet treats…what’s not to love! If your other half is big on tradition and adores a long lazy lunch, an afternoon tea proposal may be just the ticket to a romantic proposal!

You have a few options to choose from when it comes to presenting the ring. Try hiding it in the middle of the last layer of the tea tower nestled between some pastries for a pleasant surprise. If you’re adding some bubbles to the occasion, you can leave the ring at the bottom of his or her champagne flute and wait until they captures a glimpse of the sparkling surprise! One last option is to engrave ‘marry me?’ at the bottom of their teacup for them to discover when they take their last sip. This can double as a sweet memento of the day.

No. 5 Say it in Song

It may take some preparation, but if you can hold a note or play an instrument then this is by far the most personal and intimate way to propose. Write a song for her expressing just how much he or she means to you and end the harmony with a marriage proposal.

As for where to sing your heart out, we suggest whisking your lover off to a countryside town for a weekend. Wine, dine and shower them with roses then take a trip down to a local pub with a plan to put on a show. Check with the bar manager beforehand so that all the bartenders and patrons are aware of the upcoming proposal!

If singing isn’t your strong suit, another option is to hire a street busker and ask him to play your song as you walk through the local town. As you both stop to listen you’ll have the chance to make your move!
