Where did you meet? Do it there maybe? Or first date locations, or somewhere with her family around if she is really close to them, or same thing with friends.
It really depends on what she likes. Would she want this done in private or public? Made into a big deal or not?
Just remember to make this about her as much as you can. Then you cant go wrong.
Good luck, and congratulations!

You need to see what type she is. Is she a sappy romantic who loves chich flicks? If so she would probably want to be proposed to like that. Probably on a long walk by any body of water you live by...beach, lake, ocean, pond, bayou...and propose. Or take a walk in the park and propose. Or, you could ask her at her front door...like you could ring the door bell and when she opens it you would be kneeling with the ring. Or just give it to her as a Christmas present.

The place you first met
The place you first kissed
The place you first said "I love you"
Her favorite restaurant
Outside under the stars
Take her away for the weekend, get a hotel with a jazzuci in your room and propose over a toast. (poor a glass of wine or her favorite drink-drop the ring in the bottle of the glass and say you are proposing a toast to your future. When she sees the ring say "will you marry me" and end it with a kiss. She would love it, it would be romantic (even better send her to the car for something "that you forgot" while she is away be in the hot tub with candles lite and you holding the glasses (try to hide the fact that there is a ring in one if possible) when she gets in give her, her glass and then propose.
Good Luck!

It all depends on the kind of girl she is.
I'm sort of the classic type, so I always dreamed of going out to a nice dinner and my boyfriend getting down on one knee with the (Tiffany) box... you know how it goes.
But if that wouldn't suit her personality, then it could be all wrong.
You know her best, I'm sure you must have some idea of what she would like.
I can tell you though, that no matter where you pop the question the most memorable part of the night won't be WHERE you did it, but the look on your face and the sweet things that you said.

Here are some ideas, I hope they help you out! Congrats by the way...
--If you can afford it, plan a little vacation and pop the question while away on a trip. Here are some places you could visit: go to a bed and breakfast in the country somewhere, Florida, Disney, Mexico, cruise, know a relative that has a cabin on the beach, on a lake, or up north? Go there.
--Are there any beautiful monuments, parks, or areas where you live? You could propose in front of/on/in/near... Lake Michigan, Mt. Rushmore, Yellowstone, Disney World, Atlantic Ocean, St. Louis Arch, Pacific Ocean, Lincoln Memorial, etc...
--Plan a special date. Dress up, take her somewhere nice, and then ask her to marry you once you get home.
--While she's away at work, sprinkle rose petals and flowers around your apartment/condo/house. Light candles leading to where you are. Once she gets home she follow the petals/candles to you on your knee.
--Take her to where you first met and get on one knee.

Purpose to he somewhere that means a lot to the both of you. Like the place where you first met, or where you had your first date. Try to make it a place thats special. My friends boyfriend purposed to his girlfriend by taking her to Hunans the chineese restuarante ahad a special fortune cookie made with the ring inside. He chose that because it was his girlfriends favorite place to eat! Well good louck and congrats on the engagement!!

Do it someplace that means something to you both....sometime that's the most meaningful as opposed to something extravagent. My husband had a ring for almost 6 months looking for the perfect way to propose...in the end he did so when we went away for the weekend right before we went to bed. I thought it was so sweet and so perfectly "us." And that's the key--that the proposal be suited to you two as a couple.
Good luck and congrats!

well where do you live??? a city? a beach? a rural area? I need some surroundings to give ideas. My fiance proposed at the beach right on the ocean under the pier. But if you don't live near a beach then that wouldn't work. Newayz I need to know what kind of area you live in to give you a really good idea.

I always say you can't go wrong with somewhere meaningful to you as a couple: site of first date, first kiss, favorite date place, etc. I also think it should be somewhere private, not in front of all her friends or family members. You will have the chance to declare your love publicly on your wedding day. Good luck!

I've never been a fan of the big public proposals (sports games, etc). I think its much more meaningful to do it in a romantic, private manner. My husband took me out to dinner at "our" restaurant and we ate overlooking the water. After dinner we were finishing our wine and he started saying sweet things to me and took the box out of his hand. I've never been a crier, but I teared up immediately. It was the most romantic moment, and I'll never forget it. Make it special and meaningful to her, and don't worry about all the grand gestures. The biggest gesture should be the sincere one from your heart.
