Read on for tips and tricks for planning the perfect hot air balloon proposal.

Preparation for a Hot Air Balloon Proposal

You will typically have to plan a hot air balloon ride well in advance. Do some research on hot air balloon companies around your area, as this definitely isn't a last minute type of thing.
Compare and contract balloon companies, how long they can offer you and if they offer any extras you might want to supplement with while you're in the air.
Another way to make the proposal extra romantic is to do so while you're on vacation. A hot air balloon ride over a place that is special to you, or just stunning scenery, will add extra romantic ambiance.

Make Sure This Is Okay with Your Partner

Don't spoil the surprise, but make sure a hot air balloon ride is something your partner is up for. If she is afraid of heights, the proposal isn't going to be a hit. This kind of proposal is best for couples who love extreme adventure, or who have always wanted to go on a hot air balloon.
If the pair of you have been on a hot air balloon before and loved it, this is also another great way to propose.

Think About Creating a Banner 

Some hot air balloon companies are well versed in bringing the romance to you. Or, you can go homegrown and create one yourself.
Placing a banner at a pre-determined location that asks your partner to marry you is a perfect romantic gesture. Simply place the banner somewhere where you will fly over, and point it out to your partner.
You can also have family or friends get involved and have them hold the banner as they wait for you to fly overhead. Not only will she get to see the most important question of her life, but some of her friends and family will be there too.

Conceal the Ring

Before you board the hot air balloon, you'll need to conceal the ring somewhere where she can't see it. You might want to bring along champagne or spirits in a carry bag, and you can conceal it from her inside of it.
You can also simply place the ring in your pocket, or the pocket of your jacket if it's a cold day. But you must remember the ring, as this is one of the most crucial parts of the entire proposal.
Pick out the ring well in advance so you're not scrambling for it on the day. Having a ring ready will give you a boost of confidence, especially if you know it's one she's had her eye on.

Bring Your Camera

Your phone likely goes with you everywhere, but don't forget it on this special day. You can even ask someone at the hot air balloon company if they will videotape you asking her to marry you. You'll also want to get tons of pictures of the pair of you after the proposal, in addition to the ring.
Additionally, you can have a friend or family member come along with you on the ride. If you want to make it a total surprise, have another couple come with you so that she doesn't suspect a proposal. This way, it will not only be totally unexpected, but you can have someone take pictures to document the event for you.

Have Her Family or Friends There

In addition to having family or friends holding a banner asking if she will marry you, you can have family members or friends meet you as you touch down. This will add an extra element of surprise, and the pair of you can spread the news amongst your nearest and dearest immediately.

Sky Writing

If you're looking to go all out, you can even hire someone to do skywriting asking for her hand in marriage. Although this is a huge gesture, and expensive, it will seal the deal in terms of making it the most memorable proposal ever.
You can coordinate it so that you will fly by the skywriting after it's been written. Point it out to her and then get on one knee and pull out the ring, letting her know that it was all for her.

Be Sure Your Partner Will Say Yes Before Splashing Out

A grandiose gesture may be lost on someone who isn't ready to get married. Instead, make sure your partner is totally on board and marriage is something you've already discussed.
It helps if you and your partner have already looked at rings and have discussed what you would do if you got married, or she has hinted at ideal proposals.
If you don't know if your partner will say yes, you can still go for the all-out gesture, but perhaps just keep it between the two of you. This means not inviting family members or friends along in the case that she declines.

Should I Plan a Hot Air Balloon Proposal?

If you want to create a magical moment the pair of you will remember for the rest of your lives, you should definitely go for it! There is no doubt that you'll be the talk of your friends and family with a hot air balloon proposal.
