If you are getting ready to pop the question, no doubt your main goal is to get her to say yes and you may need some proposal ideas to help you out. Well, of course you want a "yes' for an answer, but it's a great idea to take some time to make the proposal special for her.

You may be shocked to find out that better than 3/4 of women today are disappointed in the proposal they get, and you don't want to disappoint her when you are asking her to spend the rest of life with you. Doing something special will make sure you both have great memories of this special time in the future. Need a bit of help? Well, here are some great proposal ideas to consider using. Use them and you are pretty much guaranteed an emphatic "YES" from the love of your life.

Message in a Bottle Proposal

If you are looking for romantic and unique proposal ideas, a message in a bottle proposal is a wonderful idea to try. It's fairly easy to pull of and very romantic.

Preparation: Before you go get an antique bottle, use some parchment paper, and write your proposal on it (make sure you are original and romantic with the wording). You or a friend need to bury the bottle in a place you agree on in advance.

Ask your girlfriend to go on a walk on the beach with you. Assuming all the preparation has been done, go walk with your love. Notice the bottle top sticking up and have her help you dig it up. Let her open the bottle and read your proposal. Then get down on one knee with the ring and ask her to marry you. She'll remember the moment forever, and she'll have the bottle and proposal on parchment to keep as a memory of this important day in your lives.

Evening Picnic Dinner Proposal

Another of the many great proposal ideas out there is an evening picnic dinner proposal.

Preparation: Get a small generator and a lot of mini white lights. Find a beautiful and remote spot for a picnic, such as a private spot on the beach or a nice area in the mountains. Set up the generator and decorate it with all the white lights. Set up a small table and chairs, and have it ready for a picnic dinner.

Take her out to the dinner spot around sunset, sit her down at the table, and have a nice dinner and wine for her to eat. As the sun goes down, tell her you have a surprise for her. Go turn on the generator and let all the lights come on and dazzle her. It will take her breath away. Come back and get on one knee and tell her that she lights up your life, and ask her to marry you.

Relaxing Getaway Proposal

More than likely your girlfriend is a busy woman. She could use a relaxing getaway and this is one of many great proposal ideas as well.

Preparation: decide on a place to go. Arrange for relaxing activities. (You will want to do this after you know she has a particular day off.)

Take her away for a day. Arrange for her to have a day off work, surprise her, and whisk her away. Make sure she does absolutely nothing. Take her to a nice resort or hotel. Let her enjoy the day in the pool, sipping nice drinks, and feed her a delicious dinner. Bring her to the hot tub in the evening to relax. When she is relaxed and you see the stress start slipping away, get on one knee and ask her to marry you. Let her know you want to pamper her for the rest of your lives.

Seashell Proposal

If you live near the beach, the seashell proposal is one of the best proposal ideas to consider.

Preparation: a bucket for shells; a beach blanket or towel. If the beach doesn't have many shells, come prepared with lots of shells already in the bucket.

As you take a walk on the beach, pick up a lot of seashells along the way. Have her help you pick out beautiful shells to place in your bucket. Once you have a lot of shells, have her sit down on a blanket. Take the shells and write out your proposal. When you are done, get her and bring her to see your work. As she sees what you have written, get down and propose, then give her the ring. Take a camera to get a picture of the seashell proposal so you can remember it. Gather up the shells again after she says "yes," and you can use the shells in your wedding or keep them to remember the special day by.

When you are proposing, having the right engagement ring can make your sentiments known. Let your love shine through.
