These kind of "funny yet embarrassing" proposals call to mind the 5 ways guys can mess up a proposal. I'm talking things that could totally DESTROY your chance of getting her to say yes. Here they are so that you don't make any of these horrendous mistakes...

1. CREATING A PUBLIC SPECTACLE

I don't care if it is the family Christmas party, a company picnic, or a Phillies game, you should never propose to your girlfriend if public proposals wouldn't make her comfortable. Besides the shear possibility of embarrassment, she could even feel pressured to say "yes." And if you think that just stacks the cards in your favor, in this case it doesn't, for she may end up telling you the truth later. The bottom line is to consider the type of person your girl is: is she reserved, shy, or cautious? If so, perhaps you'd be better off with a private proposal.

2. "OVER-DOING" THE PROPOSAL

Many men think that a great proposal is simply taking all the "usual" romantic things and combining them into one big event. Sadly, this is really far from the truth. An example of a bad proposal idea is if a man presents her with flowers and chocolates at a candlelit dinner with a teddy bear and then proposes to her.

C'mon. That's just not right. Don't you believe that she deserves the best possible experience of her life? Yes? Okay...then understand that normal and otherwise-everyday romance stuff is only good for, well, everyday romance! She won't ever admit it, though she'd probably be quite disappointed.

3. BEING UNPREPARED

You definitely want to plan to get it right the first time...because that might be the only chance you get. No pressure, of course. :) Always rehearse through what could go wrong, create a backup plan, and make sure what you are about to do is safe. If you want a more ellaborate proposal, take extra caution. Actually rehearse through the situations. Take what could go wrong and find ways to get around them. Grab your friends together, and brainstorm as a group the sticky situations that could occur on your special day. Yes, I know...life is unpredictable, so make sure to prepare as best you can.

4. SPENDING TOO MUCH MONEY

So, you're wondering how spending too much money could be a problem? Well, the only problem that tends to come from spending a lot of dough is if it becomes a substitute for creativity. Chuck the "nice" idea that costs a lot for a fastastic idea that is completely jaw-dropping.

5. USING A OVERUSED PROPOSAL IDEA

The biggest mistake of all of them is not using an original idea if you want the moment to be talked about and remembered for years to come.

Personalize your proposal to your girlfriend. What interests, hobbies, and music are her favorite? Take these as starting points and create an incredible proposal that everyone will be remembering and talking about for years!

Although hot air balloons, the Eiffel tower, and getting a waiter to bring out the ring on a platter are "okay" ideas, they've been overused, are no longer creative, and are definitely not original enough for the most important memorable moment of both your lives.
