Get a ring size chart and ask your girlfriend to look up her size. When she accuses you of ruining the surprise that you're shopping for a ring, say, "Okay, try this one instead," and show her that you've already shopped for a ring.
Cool Engagement Ideas
Ring Size Fun
Strength in Numbers
Stand up for your right to marry her/him! You will need your friends’ help for this one. Assemble all your friends, make them hold some “Marry Me!” banners and start marching around their neighborhood; stop outside their house and make a lot of noise. When they come outside to investigate..... how could they say no?
Sign Me Up
Borrow her digital camera without telling her and head to her favorite local outdoor spot. Bring a friend with you and have posters made with the words "Will," "You," "Marry," "Me?" Have your friend photograph you holding each one in a different position. Then, let her know you borrowed her camera and ask if she will upload your photos.
Breakfast in Bed
Slip the ring on her finger while she's sleeping and wake her with champagne and strawberries. At first, the gesture will simply seem romantic -- the real surprise comes when she notices her new piece of jewelry.
Arts and Craftiness
Go to a place where you can paint and personalize pottery. Select a plate and decorate it with "Will You Marry Me?" Take the finished plate to your favorite restaurant early and arrange it with the manager to bring dessert to your table on it as compliments of the chef. As you share the dessert the proposal will reveal itself.
