My girlfriend, who lives with me, already knows I will propose and roughly what date it will be. But what are some ways to make the proposal more special for her? Please keep in mind, I'm not rich =)

do it Earlier (Not later) than she expects
***remember, NEVER "pretend" that ur NOT going to do something in order to "surprise" someone... that is a negative reaction/surprise, and can cause anger and sadness, not happiness =T.. my bf tried to trick me like that, pretending to forget a monthiversary, and instead of being happy, i feel really sad...! then he gave me a present, but it was too late, i cried from disappointment already!
either do it really simply, like send a letter addressed to her thru the mail ... when she opens it, it'll say "will u marry me" w/ a return envelope! :)
OR
do it loudly in front of a lot of people, like at a restaurant or bookstore, or special place u have shared together (where u first met, etc etc)
good luck! no matter what, as long as u are happy and positive, she will be happy!!

You are actually in a better positon. Since she already know, you know she'll say yes. You can make this as big and special as you want ( and can afford). Definitly get down on one knee.How about, take the day off of work and clean the whole place, make a nice romantic dinner. Candles galore. Make her favorite desert and somehow hide the ring. When she sees it, get down on one knee and ask her. What makes proposals really special is when you say something special and meaningful, not just "Will you marry me". Good luck and I wish you two a long and happy life together.

My now husband asked me to go look at wedding rings one month after we started dating. So we went and immediately found the perfect ring. He waited 3 months after that to propose - and he did it in a big way! At a Christmas charity event (he is a pastry chef and made pastries for this event every year for the past 8 years), we were called up on stage and that's when he asked me to marry him - in front of a large room full of people! I didn't see it coming - I knew at some point he was going to propose, but didn't know the where or when. I was completely stunned but I said yes!! We've been married a year now, together for 3 years. Make it nice for her - she knows it's coming and she's excited - just do something simple that she might not expect. Congratulations!!

If there is a fair in-town take her to that and propose to her on the ferris wheel when you are at the top, or even on the merry go round they have those seats on the marry go round that you could get on one knee and ask her. The main thing is when you propose to have it come from the heart that is really what she wants. Cause if you make her cry tears of joy you know you did your part and did it perfect..... Good Luck and I wish you two the best......

Don't do when she thinks you will.
My husband proposed just one night out of the blue--it was planned as I later found out though. He took me into his kitchen at 9:30 at night begging for some brownies. We made brownies on our first date, but I thought nothing of it. Well, the ring was in the brownie mix. While I expected the proposal, I was blown away with the execution.
Remember: you don't have to go fancy to make it special. Propose just for the two of you, no one else. It shouldn't be to impress the world. All you need to worry about is your future wife!

Catch her off guard. She knows the proposal is coming she just doesnt know how you will do it. Take her to her favorite place or buy her something she loves. When she is all into the place or the item get down on one knee and ask her the question. People remember how the propsal went not how much cash you forked out.

It can still be a surprise. Most women know when they are going to get proposed to but are still surprised. Try this. have a friend take her some place romantic but for another reason. and then appear and get on a knee and go for it. Heres one that I am going to use. I am going to have her best friend pretend that she is going to get proposed to and that she wants her to be there to celebrate. then I'll make them go on a scanenger hunt down (without me) to the beach. and at the beach , the last sign will say for my girl to stand in the circle instead of the friend. and confused she will turn around and I will appear. and then go for it.

just do it regular, just extra romantic. if it's the right season and depending on where you live, propose in a park or an outdoor area. just pop the question as usual-it doesn't really matter if she already knows you're going to propose. most girls just have a feeling you are going to ask them out or propose, that's just the way it is!
good luck!

yeah, i agree, Do it a week or a day early or somthing.
You could find a park gazeebo (get permission to use the gazeebo if you have to) and set out a small table and 2 chairs with flower petals and candles everywhere. Have some romantic music playing and a nice little dinner ready. (Or you could find someone who could set all this up for you so she doesn't get suspicious) Tell her you just want to go walk around the park and then take her to the table. And then you can tell her sweet things and get on you knee and ask her! sweet sweet. Good luck!

Get some roses and the ring, and go to her work and propose. If you can't do that then try to do it when a few or her close friends are around.
