Sometimes, a classic proposal can do everything for you, without you having to make huge efforts, complex plans, and end up worrying more about what you are going to do than about your partner’s answer. That is not the point. So, take the simple approach and create a romantic atmosphere either in a restaurant or at home. Bring flowers, candles, sweets, a nice dinner, and wine, and ask the big question. Nothing is better than the intimacy of such a moment, even if it’s a simple and classic one. Trust us, it is equally impressive.

6. A love letter

Another simple yet very effective engagement idea is to simply take a long walk and, when you reach a beautiful spot, to take out a hand-written love letter and read it out loud for your significant other. Tell them everything that you feel and why you want to propose. This classy idea will definitely impress your loved one while still being special and unique for the two of you. Make sure to include cute moments and honest feelings in your letter too. Those will make the moment sweeter and the answer more certain.

In case your partner is a person who loves intimacy and personal space, make your proposal in the most comfortable place that exists: in your bed. Don’t prepare anything ahead apart from your ring. Tell your lover how much they mean to you and finally, ask the big question. No fancy things, no decorations, no special outfits or makeup, just the two of you and your love. The feelings are what truly matters here, not what surrounds you. This is the perfect idea for someone who is very private and doesn't want the whole world watching. If this isn’t romantic, we don’t know what it is.

8. With the family

Speaking of home-made engagement proposals, another idea would be to gather your whole family at home (or just your dog, your choice) and propose to your significant other in the comfort of your own shelter. Do not make any fancy preparations and just let the moment happen by itself. Everyone who matters to you will witness it and they will be extremely happy. After all, the family is the most important and they should definitely be part of something as great as an engagement proposal.

Summary

All in all, when considering an engagement proposal, the best thing that you can do is to do some research on the matter and select a few ideas that would fit your own. Then, the next step would be to choose the very best one and, if it doesn’t fit your scenario exactly, to adapt it according to your wish. Never copy an engagement idea exactly because it may not end up well. Your partner may not feel comfortable and you might even get a negative answer. So, by simply paying some attention to your significant other, you can make the best choice when it comes to engagement proposal ideas. Don’t go overboard if they are a private person, and don’t make the simplest gesture if they like big shows and exposure. Take the pulse of the situation before deciding on a specific idea. The rest is up to you and your partner.
