Awesome Proposals & Save The Date Cards
The proposal is a nerve-wracking time and you want to get it just right - as well as making it a moment to remember. If your girlfriend/boyfriend is the romantic or creative type, they might appreciate a bit of thinking 'outside the box' to make the proposal more personal, thoughtful, fun, or just something to tell the grandkids!
On this page you will find details on some of my favourite ideas, including flashmobs and sky writing, plus the most romantic and adorable proposal videos.
There are also plenty of links to save-the-date craft tutorials so your can make your own creative cards to announce the big day. There are also some amazing video productions and full-blown movie save-the-dates to have a look at.
I hope you find this page inspiring...and good luck :-)
