Well first of, congratulations on your son Tyler!! That's a beautiful thing. :)


Do it based on her. What does she like to do? Is she outdoorsy? Like to go to fancy restaurants? What kind of a person is she?





Proposal is such a personal thing. In that respect, it doesn't mean it has to be in front of a lot of people. But, it can be. One thing is certain. Women love it when our men remember the little things. Like, your first date together. Your first anything! Taking her to the restaurant you first went to together and proposing would be beautiful, because you remembered. Where you/her first said I love you. Things like that. Just as long as it's personal to both you and her and not generic.. it will be completely perfect and fail-proof.





Good luck!! :)Okay so i just bought the engagement ring... Need Advice on where and when to propose!?
Definitely wait a few weeks until she is more back to normal. Giving birth wreaks havoc on a woman's body and she just may not be feeling her best yet.


Going out would be nice, but being a new mommy, she may not want to leave her baby yet! Also, you would have to find a sitter.


Why don't you try doing it on baby's first outing? Depending on where you live, maybe a trip to the zoo or a walk in the park would be nice in the fall! Then the two loves of her life would be involved, you and little baby Tyler. :)


The way you propose doesn't really matter, just that you will have a happy life together.


Best of luck!!!
There are a million ways. But honestly, you can't go wrong with a private, meaningful moment. For some reason, this popped into my head:





You go somewhere nice for her birthday. When you get to the car to leave for the restaurant, realize you ';forgot'; something - cell phone, watch, whatever. Run back inside to get it and set the ring in it's open box somewhere dramatic - in the center of your dining room table, in the middle of your (neatly made) bed, maybe with a note about how much she means to you. Go back out and have a wonderful dinner. When you get back, let her walk in first so that she sees the ring. Then say all those things that no one else needs to hear - how much you love her and want to make it official before God and everyone else.





Some women love those insane public proposals. Most of us would rather have a completely personal, intimate moment.





Good luck!
I LOVE Natasha's idea. When my husband proposed it was a couple days before Christmas. He came in with the mail and handed me the stack and as I was going through it there was an unmarked (un-mailed) card. I opened it up and it was a hand made card that he made with all the things that he loved about me in it. When I looked up, I had to look down, because he was down on one knee in front of me with the most perfect ring and asked if I'd be his wife. It was beautiful, and personal, and perfect for us.
How perfect - I think that asking her on her birthday would be so sweet! You can make dinner for her at home - something simple and intimate. Maybe candles on the table? You can first give her a birthday gift. And then... tell her ';I have one more gift for you,'; then kneel by her chair and give her the ring.


I also love the baby onesie idea!
I agree with Natasha. Have a onsie made and put it on him, then lay the baby down in the crib and walk out to the living room and ask her to go check him, he felt hot to you. Then follow her, as she looks down at him you get down on your knee behind her and when she turns around Boom theres the ring.





Good luck!
Take the family on a special weekend and bring the grandparents so when you ask her the baby will be in safe hands with your parents. Take her out for dinner, then when the time is right, make your speech, get down on one knee then look straight into her eyes and ask her.








Good Luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh I really like that baby t-shirt idea!! That sounds totally adorable.


Maybe do something cheesy.


OO I have an idea lol... maybe do a nice picnic.... ';accidently'; get the baby's shirt dirty. Pull out the other shirt and put it on him, and if she doesn't notice right away, then say something to get her to look... maybe like ';He's gotten something on his shirt already!';


or cheesy ';Our baby is a genius! He's written something on his shirt!';


:P lol Corny yes, but just be sweet about it all, make it something she'll look back on and smile or even laugh about heh.
i love the onsie idea.


what mommy wouldn't love to have that?!





Sometime when she wants to shower or something, while she's busy change his outfit to that...





maybe set up a video camera somewhere to capture the moment (don't put it in a obvious spot though =] )





congrats!
Don't do it on her birthday - have a special day all on its own to propose. Do it in private, not out somewhere.


Dude, you should have had this done months and months ago, so get crackin'!
I think you should somehow incorporate the baby. Maybe get a baby t-shirt made that says ';Will you marry my daddy'; ? and be there to kneel down with the ring.





Congrats!!!
the idea of the baby with the shirt is adorable... congrats by the baby and good luck :)
Love the shirt idea with Tyler. Don't do it on her birthday!
