There are many creative proposals out there that have been successful for those who want to stand out from the crowd such as proposing with a scavenger hunt or even writing a custom song!

Romantic Proposal Ideas

●    Propose at the place where you went on your first date.

Cute Marriage Proposal Ideas

●    Create a calendar filled with adorable pictures of you both for each month. Then write “Will you marry me?” where December’s photo would be. Show your partner the calendar and give them a surprise.
