How to Plan a Romantic Dinner to Propose

Many young girls dream of the day they will be at dinner and find themselves in the midst of a proposal. If your beloved is one of these girls at heart, planning a romantic dinner just for her proposal will speak louder than words. Read on to learn how to plan a romantic dinner to propose to your significant other.

Instructions

1. Decide on the perfect spot for the proposal. Keep your girlfriend's tastes in mind with this decision. If she loves the outdoors, a moonlit boat ride in a canoe could be just the thing that would fill her heart with love. If she is more into the theater, renting a theater may mean the world to her.

2. Plan the meal. Again, your girlfriend's personal tastes are paramount during the planning. Pay close attention to her favorite food in the months preceding the planned engagement dinner.

3. Decide on who will serve the dinner. If she finds your cooking abilities to be one of the most romantic things about you, prepare and serve the food yourself. If she finds your food inedible, it is best to leave the job to the professionals.

4. Plan for mood lighting. Lining the dock with tea light candles for the moonlit lake proposal mentioned in step one is very romantic. In a theater, shining a spotlight on the table and turning off all of the other lights is both dramatic and romantic.

5. Don't forget the music. Again, determine what music is romantic to your girlfriend. Don't assume that hiring a violinist will be romantic for her. She could be very uncomfortable with having people in the area she does not know.

6. Decide where you will keep the ring prior to the proposal. If you are having the meal catered, it may be romantic to have the ring brought out on a silver tray at the end of the meal.

7. Rehearse what you will say in your proposal. However, if you go blank in the middle of the proposal, just say what is on your heart at the time.
