Personality
Here are some of the main personality types to consider:
- Shy: Plan something private. She's not going to want a crowd of people around. Preferable choose a place that is quiet and intimate.
- Adventurous: Make sure you are out in nature - Narrow down outdoorsy to something very specific. For example, a waterfall that will reminde your fiance of this special day.
- Sporty: Sporty doesn't mean you have to propose in front of thousands of screaming fans. Be creative and get custom baseball cards made!
- Nerdy: If your bride is a geek you may want to incorporate some technology into your proposal.
- Trendy: If your girl is fashionable, you definitely want to be dressed up and out on a very special occasion. And plan for photos to capture your instagramable moment.
- Animal Lover: You're going to definitely want to involve the pets - or why not go horseback riding?
- Arty:If your girlfriend is artistic she's probably going to want something creative and unique. Something thoughtful and personal may mean a whole lot more to her than glamour.
- Party girl: A good way to think of "party girl" is simply social. She probably likes to be around other people. You probably don't want to propose at a party, but what you could do is propose first while alone. Then surprise her with a party of friends or family afterwards, where you can then all celebrate together.
Setting & Location
The setting can be everything. We wanted to give you some ideas and resources for types of places you can propose. Remember to consider your girlfriend's personality and interests! No matter where you live, you can find places like these just about anywhere.
Holidays can be a great time to propose. It's a natural time to relax, be somewhere romantic, and create great memories. Just be careful with these. You don't want your bride to be to feel like they're getting shortchanged on the Holiday. In other words, do just as much as you would for Christmas etc in addition to your special proposal.
Checklist
You've narrowed down her personality and interests. Hopefully you've picked a fantastic location. But you don't want to forget the final touches that will make the day perfect!

MUSIC
This may depend on your location and setting too. But if you have the opportunity to bring along a little extra music for ambiance, definitely don't forget it!
Apple has a lot of wireless speakers that work with iPods and iPhones.
You may have a special song together - if so that would be the ideal music to play. If not, I suggest you spy on her music collection for ideas.
