Marriage Proposal Idea - Outdoors

An outdoor enthusiast might appreciate a creative proposal during a camping trip. It's a good idea to plan a quiet trip for just you and your girlfriend at a picturesque location. If you can convince her to go fishing with you, hide the ring inside the tackle box. Then when you start fishing ask her to hand you the "diamond lure". When she asks what a "diamond lure" tell to look in the box and she will recognize it instantly. Just make sure that when you attempt this Marriage Proposal Idea that she enjoys the out doors and won't complain the whole time.

Marriage Proposal Idea – Tune In

Every time I go to visit my girlfriend she is always playing the radio, and always tuned to the same station. Having the DJ of your girlfriend's favorite radio program ask her if she will marry you is another creative marriage proposal idea. You will want to make sure that you are aware of the exact time that the DJ will be sending your message so that you are able to ensure that you and your girlfriend are listening together when he makes the announcement. You could also arrange to have the DJ play a song that has a special meaning for you as a couple so that you can enjoy a dance together after she accepts your creative proposal.

Marriage Proposal Idea – Family Affair

Another creative way to propose is to include all of your family and friends in the event by inviting them all to a surprise party for your girlfriend. To make this proposal work, you would either convince your girlfriend that you want to have a quiet dinner at home or at a restaurant with just the two of you. Once you arrive at the destination all of the guests will reveal themselves and while all eyes are on the two of you, you could take the opportunity to profess your love and propose.

I hope these marriage proposal ideas have been helpful and have started your creative juices flowing.
