Ready to pop the question? Here are a few ways to make your proposal special.
BOLI, this one is for your future spouse 😉
You’ve been wanting to propose for a while, and you want to make it special. Getting on one knee is great and everything, but you really want to wow your (hopefully) future fiancé, and create a memory they’ll share with their loved ones for the rest of their lives.
Fortunately, there are plenty of ways to make the moment stand out! Here are 8 unique ideas for your proposal.

1. Live Music
Can you imagine how romantic it would be to pop the question with a live violinist, or a string quartet, or even a guitarist providing a beautiful soundtrack? Live musicians like BOLI Preferred Vendor Sweet Harmony can enrich your proposal with, well, sweet harmonies! They’ve even got a live music guide for marriage proposals, so you can select the right melodies for the moment.
2. Involve friends and family
You know everyone is going to be over the moon once they hear the news, so let them in on things right from the start! Make them a part of your proposal by asking them to hold up signs, bring your future fiancé to that “perfect” spot on the beach, or pop out and yell “surprise!” after the inevitable “yes!”

3. Revisit one of your special places…
Where did you first meet your future fiancé? A bar, a ballpark, a gas station? It doesn’t matter where that place is, it holds special meaning for the both of you. Choosing the place where it all began is a wonderful way to make your proposal special, and brings your love story full circle.
4. …or choose a new place you’ll always remember
Maybe your future fiancé has always wanted to go to France. Or maybe they’re dying to hike a scenic route upstate! Or maybe a peaceful beach in Aruba is more their speed. If they’ve been mentioning a location they’ve always wanted to visit, it might be the perfect opportunity to cement that place into your histories.

5. Create a scavenger hunt
Does your future fiancé love solving mysteries and traveling around town? A scavenger hunt is a fun and active way to pop the question! Just make sure you have someone guarding the ring at the final location.
6. A surprise within your routine
You know that Saturday mornings mean coffee in bed together. Serve your future fiancé’s coffee with a side of diamond (or opal, or emeralds, or sapphires…you get the picture). Popping the question when they least expect it will create a moment they’ll never forget.

7. Incorporate their hobbies
Is your future fiancé a crossword addict? Let them know about this brand new, super fun puzzle you found. The theme will lead to wedding bells! Think about their interests and hobbies, and find a way to propose using their favorite pastimes.
8. Recruit your furry friend
Your dog or cat (or even your hamster!) is part of your family. Let them in on the festivities too! Tying the ring around your fur babies collar will save your knees from a few scrapes, as long as they don’t tend to outrun their leash!
