I would like to propose to my GF on her birthday, (Dec 10) unfortunatly it falls on a Monday this year and going all on for her then is not an option. So if you were here would you like it on the actual birthday (for an event to remember) or is just before the birthday okay?
The options
On her birthday i take her out to a fancy restaurant for dinner, romantic with candles and a piano player, and have dinner and after over a glass of suprise champagne - propose to her. The specialness is that it is her ACTUAL birthday - and one she will never forget.
The second option is to take her away to a romantic resort, with a view of the lake and a fireplace.
It would have to be the thurs, fri, sat, before her birthday as the place doesn't have availability.
I would get her the time off, and take her down there thursday afternoon & we'd settle in. Friday we would spend the day together and have dinner overlooking the water and propose there.The specialness is that we're alone
Which one?

Wow, romantic,expensive, the 2nd choice - and if it was me I would definitely marry you either way because of the thought that you put behind it. She is very lucky to have a guy like you and I hope I find the same.
Congrads!

I would say Option 2. I like the idea of the proposal being separate from her birthday. Let her have the enjoyment of having two special memories. The weekend away AND her birthday. I think it will mean more and besides, she really won't be expecting anything. Just tell her that because her birthday is on a Monday you wanted to go away a few days before.

Those both sound like great ideas. I was proposed to on my birthday. So it was kind of great because he was already taking me out for a special day but I wasn't expecting a proposal! Doing it for her birthday is a good cover-up because your doing special things for her, but she's thinking its all because of her birthday.
I like the weekend getaway. Just because it sounds more romantic and its not the same old going to dinner and proposing in a restraunt. If you do go out of town, I would make sure to propose the first night though or you're going to be acting antsy all weekend long.
GOOD LUCK!!!

My advice, for what it's worth:
Don't do it on her birthday. Pick another day, that will be special to you.
Don't do it away. We were so excited the night I got engaged that we were up until 2AM because we had to go to my mom's house and my best friend's house. If I had been away, I would have been on the phone all night anyway, telling everyone the news.
To me, the best proposals are from the heart. Take her to the location of your first date, and do it THIS WEEKEND- because you can't wait any longer! There's nothing more romantic than that.
Then you can spend the Thanksgiving holiday telling all of your relatives about it!

I'd say the romantic resort. You have an excellant opportunity to disguise the stay as "her birthday present" from you. So then she won't guess that you are up to anything. Her birthday is special anyway and even if you proposed the weekend before, she'll remember it forever. Congrats!!

I think I'd like the second option, because that way I get two special days! In future years I can celebrate my engagement anniversary with my partner and have my birthday as a different celebration!!!
I love the idea that you are trying to make her birthday extra special by proposing to her then, but it would also be lovely having a birthday just after you have got engaged.
You are v thoughtful and she sounds like a lucky lady.
Good luck with whichever you choose and much happiness in your future.

Don't do it on her birthday, or any other holiday. Keep it as a day special just for the engagement.
So, number two. A proposal should be done privately, not nice to do it in a restaurant.

i personally believe in the seperation of special occasions and holidays. Special occasion: proposal! Holiday: in this example, birthday. I think the two days should be seperated. I think the proposal should be kinda outta nowhere.
If you want to keep the suspicions down, i wouldnt do it ON her birthday, but possibly those days around it. So, between the two.... i pick option 2!

I think you should do Option 2. Just tell her you'd like to take her away for her birthday. It's very romantic and believe me, she'll never forget the day you proposed to her. Either one you pick will be great though.
