Propose with Style, Creativity and Canvas Prints

Despite the conventional wisdom that everything is headed downhill, marriage continues to thrive as an institution. Beyond religion, many modern couples are discovering what their parents and grandparents already knew: An official marriage weathers the storm much better than a simple cohabitation. Throw in the legal and tax benefits, and plenty of thoroughly modern folks are still getting married and marking the occasion.

And most of them are romantics at heart, as well. Marriage for them isn’t a business proposition concerning taxes and estate laws – it’s a celebration of love so powerful it has to be forged into something simultaneously traditional and completely individual.

If you’re planning on proposing to the special person in your life, you’ll want it to be unique and memorable. Canvas prints can help you do that – if you follow our tips!

Tip #1: Play the Game

Here’s a great way to use photo prints of your journey together as part of your grand proposal: Create a Scavenger Hunt using canvas prints of your personal history!

Pick out photos of local places where your relationship had important moments. The first date restaurant, a friend’s house where you hooked up for the first time, parents’ houses – any place that has significance to your relationship. Make sure the photos are clear and obvious. Then make the photos into canvas art. Wrap up the first one and give it as a gift to your significant other – and tell them to follow the clues! At each destination, another piece of canvas art showing the next destination. At the final stop, have it decorated and ready for the Big Moment – with your friends and family present if you want, and make the last canvas print one of the ring!

This is a story that you’ll dine out on for the rest of your lives, and that will show your significant other just how much you love them.

Tip #2: The Conspiracy

Another great idea is to involve all of your friends and family in a “conspiracy”. Pick a date and make arrangements at a restaurant to pop the question. Then start discussing the plans with all your mutual friends and family members without ever using the words “propose” or “marriage”. Don’t even try to hide it. In fact, flaunt it – have all the conversations right in front of your significant other – then refuse to answer any questions. Don’t invite them! Act like they’re totally not involved. For extra credit, have only your friends be part of it, as if it was a private thing your significant other wasn’t invited to.

Get a co-conspirator on their side of things to invite them out that night – and bring them to your pre-arranged place, where everyone is waiting. This one takes a lot of preparation, but the payoff is worth it!
