Five Engagement Proposal Ideas in the Boston Public Garden

2) Propose Near a Street Performer

During all non-winter months, the Boston Public Garden is filled with numerous public performers covering a variety of genres. Balloon animal makers, musicians, and singers commonly position themselves along the main walkway attached the bridge crossing through the heart of the garden.

For a romantic engagement proposal, consider finding a musician or singer during a less crowded time of the day. The best method is to first take out a $5 bill, fold it in half in your palm with the $5 visible, then ask the performer if he/she takes requests (he/she will say yes). Next, ask the performer to choose a romantic song, then give the $5 to performer. Normally performers use an open instrument case or other visible location for tips and the sight of a $5 tip--assuming they did not already notice it in your hand--will guarantee a quality effort.


Finally, step towards your girlfriend and launch into your engagement proposal routine. Popular options include a romantic kiss followed by kneeling and presenting the ring or reciting a poem with a performer in the background. An added bonus is the presence of the street performer will attract other couples and you are assured of having numerous volunteers close at hand to take pictures after your successful proposal.
