Home, it’s where the heart is.
So why not share your heart with a proposal to your loved one at home?
While some may prefer an elaborate and public proposal, others prefer intimate proposals that are more personal and private (a.k.a the Libra Zodiac Sign). It is a special moment, after all, and doing it at home will not only create an everlasting memory for you and your partner but also be an excellent way to create an intimate moment filled with love and romance.
If you’re thinking of popping the question at home, we’ve compiled 10 cozy ideas for your proposal that will make the moment unforgettable.
1. A Romantic Dinner
A romantic dinner is a classic and timeless way to propose. Set up a table for two in a cosy corner of your home, decorate it with candles and flowers, and prepare a delicious meal your partner will love. As you enjoy your meal, make your proposal with a heartfelt speech that expresses your love and commitment.
2. Prepare an Impressive Dish Without Pre-Made Ingredients
Treat your significant other to a special night by cooking their favourite meal from scratch. Act casually and tell them you're planning a date night at home. If cooking isn't your thing, consider ordering their usual dish from your go-to restaurant.
We’ll leave the rest up to you. Whether you make the big proposal before or after dinner, your partner will be delighted to enjoy a meal with the one they love for such a significant relationship milestone.
3. Set Up a DIY Photo Session
No fancy cameras are needed–grab a Polaroid or use your phone to let your partner know you're taking pictures. Make it fun, playful, romantic, and comfortable. You’ll want to add special touches to ensure your space looks the part. You can keep it simple with wine and candles or go all out with anything from rose petals, confetti, or even balloons! When taking pictures, set the camera with a self-timer and take out the engagement ring to capture their surprise.
4. Engage Your Animal Companion
For another proposal idea at home, consider including your beloved pet. Including your pet in your proposal can be a delightful way to ask the big question at home. Why not adorn your furry friend in a tuxedo––yes, they are a thing, or attach a written proposal to their collar? When they make their way to your partner, you can then follow behind, ring in hand. This is an excellent option for those particularly close to their furry best friend.
5. Prepare A Meal For Them To Enjoy In Bed
Breakfast in bed is always a treat, and you’ll already have them in a joyful mood by the idea of having pancakes washed down with their favourite coffee–all while they're still in their pyjamas! Place the ring on the tray with a romantic note and flowers before serving it to them. This is one of the most romantic ways to propose at home, especially for those who enjoy brunch. To top it off, don’t forget to pour a post-engagement mimosa.
6. Movie Night Proposal
If your partner loves movies, plan a movie night at home. Choose a romantic movie, preferably one that includes a proposal. As the onscreen proposal reaches its climax, pause it, and make your proposal. Your partner will be surprised and touched by this adorable gesture. Don’t forget to prepare popcorn and champagne for the post-proposal movie snacks.
7. Cosy Fireplace Proposal
A cosy fireplace is a perfect setting for a proposal. Light a fire, and just in front, set up a rug adorned with cushions. Snuggle up by the fire and tell your partner how much they mean to you. Then pop the question and ask them to spend forever with you. Some champagne on hand or a nice glass of red will only add to the ambience, so don’t forget to include those.
8. Game Night Proposal
If your partner loves games, plan a fun game night at home and propose during the game. Choose your partner's favourite game, and prepare some snacks and drinks. As the game ends, surprise your partner by proposing ––you might even consider yourself the winner of the game night when they say yes.
9. Treasure Hunt Proposal
A treasure hunt is a fun and romantic way to propose at home. Create clues that lead your partner to different rooms in your home. Have the treasure hunt culminate in a final room where you'll be waiting, ring in hand. As your partner solves the last clue, it’s time to get down on one knee.
10. Picnic Proposal
If the weather is good, plan a picnic in your backyard. Set up a blanket, pillows, and candles, and prepare delicious food accompanied by ice-cold champagne to wash it down. If it rains, don’t let it ruin your plans–indoor picnics are just as fun.
