Elegala.com Unveils 7 Valentines Day Proposal Ideas

Atlanta, GA, February 14, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Valentine's Day is one of the most popular days of the year to propose since it’s already steeped in romance and reserved for spending together. Many pre-engaged men and women will turn to the web for a creative Valentine's Day-inspired proposal idea only to find a cliche list of "chocolate script on the dessert plate" ideas. To help them plan a more memorable proposal, http://www.Elegala.com, a wedding planning resource, has released a list of seven creative ways to pop the question this Valentine's Day.

Get Back to Basics

Valentine's Day brings out the kid in us by conjuring up memories of elementary school valentine exchanges. Guys can surprise her with a homemade valentine that asks her to marry them. Along those lines - they can always try the classic folded note that says, "Will you marry? Check yes or no."

Say it With Candy

Nothing says Valentine's Day like conversation hearts and the popular candy's thematic take on love. Guys can buy a bag and set aside ones that say "Marry Me," present her with a dish or container filled with the hearts, and ask her to be their wife.

Be a Home Body

It's easy to see why the most popular place to propose is at home - it's the ultimate way to lend intimacy to this very personal moment. Guys can cook her a romantic dinner for two, and tie an engagement ring to the napkin holder or the stem of a champagne flute.

Re-create a Special Moment

Re-creating a first date or other significant milestone in a relationship demonstrates the significance placed on the time the couple has shared together, a key ingredient in a marriage proposal. Guys can make reservations at the restaurant where they had their first dinner together, or visit the location of their first kiss.

Scrapbook It

Guys can create a scrapbook of mementos - ticket stubs, photos, restaurant takeout menus, pamphlets and event programs - anything representative of your relationship and the activities they like to do together. The last page should be blank, save for the words "Will You Marry" at the top. They should be sure to take a picture after the proposal to complete the last page of the scrapbook.

Luxury Scavenger Hunt

Guys can arrange for a limousine to pick her up at her house with the first clue, and provide clues that lead her to all the favorite spots through town. The last hint will lead her to the guy, on one knee with an engagement ring.

Go Public

Elegala.com say this with caution, because many girls may not want to share this special moment with the world - only the guy can determine whether this will go over well. That said, Valentine's Day is the perfect occasion to use the media to advantage, since many radio, newspaper, or TV stations are looking for Valentine's Day stories and would love to run a proposal on air or in print.
