    My advice - don't embarrass her in any way. Funny does not work with most women, neither does doing it in front of the family (can just be uncomfortable)

    Romantic is always the safest way with women. It's also the most memorable to them.

    Take her back (if you can and if you remember) to the place where you went on your first date. Remind her of where it all began and where you've come.

    If you'll plan everything with her in mind, you won't go wrong. Congrats BTW!

        You gotta be one-on-one intimate...no family, no jumbotron at the hockey game!

        I proposed at home when we were alone together, nice quiet romantic setting, candles, wine. Believe me, it worked out better that way...nudge, nudge, wink, wink, say no more!!!

        Congratulations and good luck to you!

            I had thought up all sort of cute things, but then decided I wanted it to be about the moment and not the gimmick. A nice dinner with a ring at the end of the evening is what I did. Congrats!
            It's all good!

              Yes, no funny business, even if you are usually a clown. Take the advice given so far. Make it about her, and one on one. You could announce it with her to the family or something together later on. And it's still polite to ask the fathers permission first, that would be one on one with him I think...

                    Have several of your friends dress up as Stormtroopers from Star Wars.
                    Have them form two lines.
                    As your girlfriend comes in, she'll see you, at the end of that line, in full Darth Vader costume.
                    In a booming and commanding voice you say: "Join me, and together we shall rule this household as husband and wife!"
                    The stormtroopers then drag her to you......
                    If she screams "Nooooooo....!!!!!", that would be a nice touch........

                      If you're getting together with her family on Christmas day, propose on Christmas Eve. Do the romantic dinner, with just the two of you. Then she'll be able to announce it to the rest of the family and show off the ring on Christmas day.

                          romance is always the best way. I proposed on my birthday when she thought she was taking me out for a nice dinner. I put the ring in the champagne glass, which was also engraved with the proposal. Twelve years later, still going strong. Good luck.

                              Be romantic, but be authentic as well. What I mean by that is that the proposal can't be out of character, or in a way that doesn't match your personality.

                              I've been married 10 years. My wife was/is a teacher and when she was just starting out, she used to be on the lookout for books for her classroom. Well, my mom worked at the local library and when they got book donations they couldn't use, she'd give them to me to pass on to one of my many friends who were teachers. I held onto a bag of books my mom had given me and added one of my own to the stack. I went to the bookstore, bought a clearance book and started hacking away at the middle of it with a utility knife. When I had enough room to put the ring box in, I did. I made a new cover for the book that was all about us and then gave her the bag of books after we went out to dinner. She was shocked and overwhelmed and needless to say, that book is still displayed prominently in our household.

                              Think about what she likes and think about what you like. Find a common area of interest and build on that. If you both enjoy taking walks in the woods, do it there. If you both enjoy spending the day at an art museum, do something artistic. If you both like playing with toys, incorporate a toy. You're only limited by your own imagination.

                              Good luck, and definitely stay away from the Jumbotron at a sports event.
