Popping the Question

Want the right answer? Pose the question just right!

Not only could you win her heart with just the right engagement scenario - you could win our Proposal Contest! Over the last 90 years, we’ve helped plenty of grooms-to-be set the stage for their new lives. Here’s just a few ways to make your engagement a moment that will sparkle forever.

Twelve Creative Ways To Pop The Question

1. Put It In Writing. If you’re the type who gets nervous or tongue-tied, there’s no law that says the words have to be spoken. You can create a letter or card that asks for her hand in a serious, light-hearted or clever way.
    
2. Write It In The Snow. (Or the sand, or the grass.) Imagine the look on her face as she goes up the ski lift!
    
3. An Unexpected Poem. Do you have a friend who’s good with rhymes? Ask him to help you compose a poem just for her.
    
4. Write A Song. Is there a woman on earth who wouldn’t want a song written just for her? If you have musical ability, or have friends with a band, this is a winning idea.
    
5. Make her a Video. Just when she thinks she’s sitting down to a DVD and a bowl of popcorn — surprise, surprise.
    
6. Plant It In a Fortune Cookie. Just make sure she wants dessert.
    
7. The Empty Box. Wrap an empty jewelry box and when she opens it, tell her she can’t have the ring unless she says yes.
    
8. The Old Switcheroo. Buy her a pair of diamond studs and give her that box to open first. Then tell her you bought something else to match.
    
9. Grow Old Together. Arrange to ask her in the community room of a Senior Citizens Center, and explain that you want to grow old with her. The seniors will love having you there — and will provide plenty of advice for a happy life.
    
10. Recreate The First Date. Go to the same place — even wear the same clothes! And tell her that you always knew, even at the beginning.
     
11. Tell her What You’ve Won. Slip a lottery ticket in an envelope. When she opens it, tell her that you won the lottery the day you met her.
     
12. The Observatory: Plan a date to look at the stars in the night sky. Tell her there’s only one thing brighter — your future together.
