5 Unique Ways to Propose with a Valentine's Day Gift

A romantic introduction

Picture-perfect proposal

• Gift a photo album to your partner filled with your favourite photos together and write your proposal on the last page as a surprise.
• Or take a photo of yourself holding a sign saying "Will You Marry Me?" and place it as the last photo in the album.
• Leave extra pages for your engagement and wedding photos.

Sweet-tooth proposal

• Buy your partner a box of their favourite chocolates or sweets and replace one with an engagement ring.
• They will be happy to receive their favourite sweets, then completely surprised when they see a beautiful ring.
• Alternatively, buy a bag of conversation heart candies and save one that says "Marry Me?" to show to your partner when you are ready to pop the question.
• If your partner does not like candy, buy their favourite box of baked goods and place the ring inside.

"Will you be my Valentine?" proposal

• Purchase a box of Valentine cards and write a favourite shared memory on each card.
• Or write a reason why you love them on each card.
• Plant the cards everywhere for your partner to find — in their bag, the refrigerator, the bedroom, the bathroom.
• Write "Will You Marry Me?" on the last one and make sure they find it last.

Romantic roses proposal

• Buy your partner a Valentine's Day themed bouquet and hide the engagement ring inside one of the flowers.
• If you do not want to put the ring inside the bouquet, simply add a small note asking them to marry you.
• Alternatively, tie a small note to the bouquet's stem wrap.
• Have your Cyprus wedding photographer there to capture the moment.

Bookworm proposal

• If your partner enjoys reading, buy them a romantic book of poems and carve out the second half of the book to leave room for an engagement ring.
• Or purchase a regular book your partner would enjoy reading and either write "Will You Marry Me?" on the first page or leave it inside as a surprise note.

Final tips

Whether you are planning a public proposal or a private one, try to make every detail special. Make sure you both look your best by scheduling a manicure for your partner the day before and treating your skin with anti-aging cream. Schedule your Cyprus wedding photographer to help commemorate the moment — you will be so happy you did when you have amazing pictures to look back on as you retell your engagement story.

One last tip

Do not wait until Valentine's night to pop the question. Do it at a romantic brunch or an amazing picnic early in the day. They will not be expecting it when the ring appears after Eggs Benedict or fried chicken instead of in the chocolate mousse. It will be just as romantic and far more surprising.
