Valentines Day kick off!

It's February!! Hearts are being hung, cards are being bought and for some, plans are being made. You have 14 days left! So if you are thinking about proposing we would love to help! Here are 14 proposal ideas we thought were fun and romantic. We would love to hear from you too, share your engagement story with us to share even more ideas! (Bride to be's, check out our Romantic Giveaway on our website)

1. On Valentines Day give her a heart shaped box of chocolates, with one chocolate missing and an engagement ring in it's place. When she opens the box, get down on one knee and pop the question

2. Use the little heart candies and spell out the words 'Marry Me' with them. For extra romance, only use the hearts that say 'Marry Me' on them

3. Buy a card that says "To my fiance on Valentine's Day". As she opens the card, she will be surprised and then you get down on your knee and propose

4. Get a dozen (or even 2!) of roses and tie the ring to one of the stems. When she notices it, ask her to be your Valentine for life

5. A message in a bottle expresses excitement, desire, and eternal love. Choose a bottle and write your love letter proposal. If you're at a loss for words, there are dozens of romantic templates to choose from. There are companies that can help age your letter, placed in the bottle and delivered in an authentic wooden treasure box. If you want to add an a little something extra, you can engrave a special message to your sweetie on the bottle as well. This is a proposal that she'll treasure forever.

6. Slip the ring on her finger while she's sleeping then wake her with your special proposal

7. Make her breakfast in bed and place a romantic card on the tray with your proposal

8. Freeze the ring in an ice cube and drop it in her glass, while you are at your favorite restaurant. When she realizes what is in her drink, get down on one knee and ask her to marry you.

9. Go to a local bakery. Instruct them to bake a cake with a marriage proposal on it and put it in the window. Take her on a romantic nighttime stroll right past the bakery, and point to the personalized cake in the window. Drop down on one knee, pull out the ring, and ask her to marry you. This way you can have your cake and eat it too, literally.

10. Bring her to one of her favorite restaurants. Make a menu with your proposal printed inside of it. Then have the waiter deliver the menu to your sweetie. As she opens it, ask for her hand in marriage

11. Make a rose petal trail from the front door to the bedroom. Create a heart shape with rose petals on the bed, and put the ring in the middle. Tell her to go see what is in your heart.

12. Deliver one rose to her every hour for 11 hours. On the 12th hour show up to meet her and propose

13. Put the ring in several layers of boxes so that each box fits inside another to create an illusion of a giant present. Have her unwrap it until she finally gets to the ring, and ask her to marry you

14. Invite her for some games at home. Use Scrabble letters and spell out "Will you marry me?" Have the diamond close by.

Best of luck to those planning on proposing!
