Food proposal ideas

If you love food and cooking, why not incorporate it into your marriage proposal? Whether you pop the question at a gourmet restaurant or take a hands-on cooking class together, The Heart Bandits can help you work with vendors or find the perfect space to ask her to marry you. Try some of these food-related proposal ideas!

1. Gourmet Restaurant

Is there a new restaurant getting rave reviews, or an old favorite that serves one of her favorite dishes? As you enjoy a gourmet meal over candlelight, add some romance with each course to make your proposal extra special.

Work with the waiter to bring out small surprises such as a bouquet of roses, her favorite bottle of wine, a plate of chocolates, or a framed picture of the two of you. Over the last course, surprise her with an engagement ring–it will be a meal she’ll never forget!

2. Cooking Class

There’s nothing more invigorating than trying something new together, especially as you prepare to start your life together. A private cooking class is a unique proposal idea while giving you a chance to do something exciting.

Look for creative classes such as chocolate truffle making or make-your-own pasta where your proposal will fit right in! The Heart Bandits – Wedding Proposal Planners can even coordinate the details so the proposal of your dreams goes off without a hitch.

3. Wine and Food Festival

If you love food and wine, why not attend a food and wine festival? Many cities will create events featuring dozens of local restaurants and wineries. You can spend the day walking from stand to stand. If you think she’ll like a public proposal, wait until the moment’s right and get down on one knee. You’ll get plenty of applause and photos!

If you’d rather something more private, plan to visit one of the restaurants you tried after the festival and ask for an intimate table where you’ll have the perfect amount of romance to propose.

4. Home-Cooked Meal

Want to show off your cooking skills in the comfort of your own home? Come up with a menu, fill a vase with fresh flowers, and create a romantic playlist full of swoon-worthy songs. As you serve her dinner, you’ll have the ideal recipe for a magical proposal!

5. Get Creative

If she loves surprises and you want to keep her guessing, try getting creative with some sweet desserts like chocolate-covered strawberries. You can arrange them to spell “will you marry me?” before popping the question. To keep your ring safe, avoid hiding it directly in the food. A compact engagement ring box is a great solution–it’s a discreet place to hide your diamond while protecting it at the same time.
