The Ultimate Engagement Sites

So you know how Seal proposed to Heidi Klum by sweeping her off for a helicopter ride and then rushing her off to an igloo of the middle nowhere ? Yeah, my boyfriend's not that kind of guy. While Tom Cruise may have the time, energy and major funding to propose on top of the Eiffel Tower, my sweetie isn't really into planning and usually leaves it up to me to schedule every aspect of our lives from weekly laundry duty to Saturday evenings out with friends.

Find yourself in the same boat? You don't have give up the idea of a romantic proposal -- you just have to point your guy in the right direction. Recently, many hotels, restaurants and other unexpected venues have started to offer proposal packages to take the stress out of popping the big question. From super-luxe showstoppers to small-but-creative spots, this is one list you definitely want your Prince Charming to look over!

Hotels: Resorts both big and small are offering up romantic packages for every budget. On the high end there's the Doubletree Metropolitan Hotel in New York City that offers a $13,000 proposal package that includes a $10,000 engagement ring of the groom's choice and other luxe essentials like a gorgeous room, premium champagne, chocolate-covered strawberries and concierge service for help in setting up your Big Apple proposal spot. Is your groom working with a smaller budget? Head to the Jersey Shore for the ultimate B&B experience. The Seacrest by the Sea offers a $5,000 proposal package that includes a limo service, a deluxe suite, a gourmet picnic lunch, a personalized airplane banner asking for your hand in marriage, as well as many other romantic essentials.

Restaurants: Want to feel like a princess during your proposal? Look no further than the happiest place on Earth. Walt Disney offers the ultimate in fairytale engagements at Cinderella's Royal Table at Cinderella's Castle. Your significant other can schedule an enchanted breakfast, lunch, or dinner that includes an "engagement ring in a glass slipper, lying on a bed of fresh rose petals enclosed in a decorative platter with a dome lid. This is followed with a non-alcoholic champagne toast." (Did we mention the slipper is engraved with your name and date and comes with a photo of you and Cinderella?). If your guy is looking for a more sophisticated venue, The Vineyards Restaurant in San Antonio, TX, might fit the bill. Voted "Most Romantic Restaurant" in San Antonio, their proposal package includes a private table in the vineyards, flowers and champagne.

Alternative Sites If you're the kind of girl that's non-traditional, there are still many options depending on your personal taste and style. We love the fun simplicity of Maui's Ocean Center engagement package. For $175, your special someone can schedule a visit to the aquarium where a diver will greet you in one of the underwater exhibits with a "Will You Marry Me?" sign. Worried that an underwater proposal might leave you all wet? If the sky's the limit, have your guy treat you to Park City, Utah's Skywalker Balloon Company. The crew will not only help set the mood with any special proposal requirements, they'll also go as far as design a banner OR write a message in the snow you can view from new heights.

Hey, we're not suggesting you take matter into your hands, but a few well-placed hints never hurt (trust me, I know from personal experience).
