I don't have a lot of money, but I would like to do something special and not cliche. Any ideas/suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

beaches are free, and sunsets are free.

What do the two of you tend to do on dates? Anything that would make a special date for the two of you would make an excellent proposal just by making it more special. If she likes art museums, see if your local one has an afternoon tea or evening jazz concert (many have things like these). If she likes sports, get better-than-usual seats to a game. Does she love to read? If you have the time and patience, you can make a hollow book out of a copy of her favorite book and hide the ring inside.
You don't need a thousand-dollar vacation, it just needs to be something that she loves and that the two of you share.

i was proposed to on a beach at sunset (corny i know ) but it was very memorable and very unexpected as we often go to the beach and walk it was very romantic and we went to dinner to celebrate afterwards. Deicde if you want it to be a surprise or not cuz if you take her out for the typical dinner/limo thing she will know something is up. Choose something you both have in common or special date you had or a place you both love incorporate that into the proposal. Just get creative and will be great.

Here are a few really sweet romantic, yet affordable ways that you can pop the question.
1.Get a piece of poster board, and cut it out in the shape of your inside freezer on your refrigerator. On that board, once you make sure it fits in nicely without falling out, take it out and write “Will you Marry Me??” Put it back into the refrigerator. When your honey gets in, ask her can she get you a glass of ice water. When she goes to open the freezer door she will see the sign, you come up behind her, get on your knee and propose.
2. Give her tiny gifts for a week- like a card telling her how much you love her, a flower on her pillow the next day, a nice poem written to her (slip it in her wallet or purse so it’s a surprise), and so forth. On the last day gave her a picture frame with a picture of you holding up a “will you marry me” sign, surrounded by her friends or family. They would love to be a part of it.
3. Try getting flowers delivered to her at work and show up to ask her right when the flowers come, or shortly thereafter- in front of her work mates.
4. Put it on her pillow when she gets out of the shower she will see it.
There are so many things that you can do to make it memorable, and save $ in the process. Good luck!

I truly were planning my wedding ceremony the perfect couple of months. you'll locate truly stunning sales on the little issues at your interior of sight walmart or any style of greenback save. I dont comprehend once you've a backyard ridge close for your city, yet i purchased each and every of the stuff to make my flower displays for the tables there. Afterwards I plan on returning what i visit. The tulle fabic it truly is accessible is an basic and inexpensive thanks to decorate up chairs, tables, candles, quite a lot something you want. in case you want to do favors, purchase sweet and make the favors your self. save round and seek for the sales, you do not ought to purchase each and every thing rapidly!

do something the both of you love. My boyfriend proposed to me at Disneyland, and it was perfect because it's a place we both love and something I'll never forget. So choose something you two like to do together, even if its bowling and find a way to make it special and then propose.

Get married in a very simple ceremony with a justice of the peace and just a couple of friends and spend what money you do have on a great party a couple of weeks later.
If you're really strapped, you could ask family and close friens to contribute food for a pot luck. It's the celebrating with you, not the showy spending of money that people should care about.

what are your favorite things to do together? Like going to the movies, or a ballgame. It doesn't take alot of money for a proposal that is unforgettable, just alot on imagination.

How about you rent a movie that has a proposal in it? Watch it before you watch it with your girlfriend so you know when it's coming up and when the character proposes, pause the movie and propose to her

Hmm..there are jut off the top of my head
1. plan a day together, including things she loves to do. have a picnic with her fav foods and pop the Q there.
2. buy/bake her a cake, write on it "will you marry me" have the ring ready.
3. bake cupcake and after frosting it put ring on it as the decoration (you'll need to wash ring afterwards)
4. romantic home-cooked dinner w/lots of candles and romantic music
5. if she has a pet tie ring to their collar...act like something is wrong with the animal and have her check him out. Be on one knee ready for when she see's ring.
6. fill entire room with balloons (rent a helium tank if needed) and tell her each balloon represents a reason you love her. fyi - have a few reasons ready cuz she's gonna ask.
Basically - your gf will love whatever you do as long as it is from the heart. Good luck and congrats!!

Take a shower with her and when she ask for the soap or shampoo take her hand and slide the ring on her finger. It will catch her totally off guard.
