Homecoming is arguably one of the biggest nights of the entire school year (ofc, prom and graduation are up there, too). In addition to planning which homecoming outfit and hairstyle you want to rock, you’ll need to decide if you're going solo, with a group, or if you're going with a date. If you plan to invite a +1, you may want to pull out all the stops and create a homecoming proposal that they'll never forget. Even if you want to go with a more low-key ask, you may want to get a little more creative with your homecoming proposal than just a snap or text. Show The best way to pop the question is by taking your potential date's interests into consideration. Can they recite every line from a tv show? Recreate their favorite scene that celebrates their fave series. Is your crush on your school's volleyball or swim team? Get creative and use a sports metaphor to shout out their fave pastime. Get ready to be the talk of your school after you pull off the biggest homecoming proposal. Ahead, find the best tips and ideas for how to ask your crush to homecoming.

Food Themed Homecoming ProposalHoCo proposing with food is one of the most popular ways to pop the question. Everyone likes food, and it's easy to find out what your potential date snacks on most by paying attention in the cafeteria and during study sessions. Present them with munchies in a box and let them open the container that contains a sweet, handwritten message on the inside. Message Ideas:
Sports-Themed Homecoming ProposalDoes your crush practically live on a court or field and knows everyone at the local gym? Chances are a sport-themed HoCo proposal would be an absolute touchdown with them. Using a poster board to pop the question is a classic option, but if you're looking for something more unique, try writing out your message on their sport's ball of choice. The gear makes for an adorable momento of the occasion. Message Ideas:
Animal Themed Homecoming ProposalsNo live animals are required for these ideas, but a set of puppy dog eyes certainly does help secure a HoCo date. Get you or your crush's pet involved in the action by securing a message onto their collar (gently, ofc). If your animal wouldn't be thrilled with the idea, use a stuffed animal or simply prop a sign next to them. Message Ideas:
