Memorable Proposal Ideas
Natural Heart Shaped Rock. Sometimes the simplest of things can be the most meaningful, like this heart-shaped stone inscribed with the words “marry me”. The stone is completely natural, shaped by the elements of nature into a heart. You could hide this stone inside a bowl that holds a bunch of other heart -shaped stones (like these) and encourage her to look at them all until she finds it. Or you could go for a nature walk, pretend to find it on the ground, then hand it to her. We wish we could be there to see her expression!
Dog Proposal Marry Me Sign – Proposal Ideas at Home

Marry Me lights. Ok, our panel super-loves these. They are battery operated, and you can set them out, or hang them up – whichever you choose. Either way, they are awesome!
Marry Me candle luminaries. If you’d like to go a little old school and cozy, these marry me luminary bags are a very romantic, low-key way to make a big impact!

You can even personalize your proposal message and add a photo of the two of you! (you provide the message and photo.)
