6 Proposal Ideas That Can't Be Refused

About to take your relationship to that next BIG level? Want to really surprise your loved one by NOT doing the average ‘get on one knee’ deal? Here are some creative yet romantic ways to not only prove your undying love, but also show your companion they’re worth going that extra mile:

1. Plan a treasure hunt. Set the clues in place and when he/she gets to the last clue, you will be standing there with both champagne and a proposal they can't refuse! Kapalua Villas in Maui, Hawaii is the perfect location for an adventurous couple! You can start with a morning game of golf. Plant your first love note or clue on the ninth-hole flag pole. From there she will be directed to go down the zip line in the beautiful forest to find her next clue. Once the adrenaline settles from 4,000 feet of zipline action, she’ll be dizzy with excitement when she finds the next note sends her to her own suite’s safe, where the ring awaits!


2. Make your own message in a bottle. Write a love poem on a piece of parchment paper, roll it into an antique bottle with a cork, and bury it in a well-marked spot in the sand. This surprise is definitely worth digging for! Although there are a lot of great beaches out there, you want this to be perfect and the Ponta dos Ganchos Luxury Resort in Brazil provides you with the ideal scenery and accommodations for this. Once the message is delivered, Ponta dos Ganchos offers a variety of exclusive beaches to hide away, disappear, and rediscover each other.

3. Want to create a moment where your lover will feel on top of the world? Take her to a romantic destination and propose at the top of a landmark skyscraper with the twinkling lights of the city below. These destinations can range from New York to Paris. But if you want to think outside the box, try a Castle in Prague or on the rooftop of the Banyan Tree Hotel in Bangkok.

4. Write "Will you marry me?" with a heart around it in the sand at the beach. Fill the heart with candles and rose petals. Just make sure the tide is going out and not coming in! This is a real life story from a client of ours Joe. He woke up early claiming to go on an early morning jog but instead had the hotel in San Diego, California assist in smoothing out the sand and writing his message. He brought breakfast home and insisted she eat it in the fresh crisp air. When she drew back the blinds to the balcony her message was revealed!

5. Slip the ring on her finger while she's sleeping and wake her with champagne and strawberries. At first, the gesture will simply seem romantic -- the real surprise comes when she notices her new piece of jewelry. Any hotel will do but why not make her feel like a celebrity? Take her to the Sunset Marquis in Hollywood where even among the fast-paced city life of L.A., you can completely relax and indulge in your new beginning.


6. Take a wine tasting tour in Tuscany, Italy where you can stimulate your taste-buds. At the end of the tour, when you purchase a bottle, she will be given a special bottle. She'll be drunk with happiness when she reads the hand-made label (that you made) on one of the bottles that says, "Will you marry me?" This will take a little bit of planning. Make sure you call ahead and arrange the label.
