Unique Wedding Proposal Idea: Propose on a Wine Bottle

Ann Siper
Wine bottles are the perfectly romantic way to propose to your love one. If you and your sweetie love to drink red wine, then this simple idea will be a fun and romantic way to propose marriage for Valentine's Day or any other time of the year!

To propose on a wine bottle You Will Need:

1 Red Wine Bottle

Label

Printer

To get started you want to buy a nice bottle of red wine. You can also use a homemade bottle of red wine if you like to make your own.

Now, remove the label on the bottle. I like to simply soak my wine bottle in warm water. Do not go too hot, you do not want to heat the wine up.

Add a little soap to the water to help loosen the label. You can also use a razor blade to scrape off the label while wet.

Now, on to making your own label. To create a really professional label that will not look notable different until you ask her to read it try printing it on the computer.

You can buy peel in stick labels in a variety of sizes at the office supply store, so take advantage of this.

Use different fonts and clip art to create your own label on the computer. Practice printing it out on plain old paper until you get the look and the size right.

You of course want to have the words "Will You Marry Me?" printed on the label.

Try printing this in small letters near the bottom. You can hand the bottle to her and say, where is this wine made? When she goes to look she will see the words and of course flip out.

You can also hand draw your own wedding proposal label if you are a great artist. This will be a keep sake, so have fun with it.

Take inspiration form pre made wine bottles at the grocery store. Many have black and white labels with artwork on them.

Tips:

Before applying the label make sure the wine bottle is completely dry. The label will not be able to stick if not.

Try using a small label in the back to write a romantic note on the wine bottle. Most wine bottles have a small label on the back with information about the wine, but you can write whatever words you wish!

You new fiancé will cherish this wine for years, so be sure to keep the cork. You can even turn the red wine wedding proudly bottle into a lamp. Check out my article on How to Turn a Wine Bottle into a Lamp to do this to yoru keepsake!
