Usually when couple plans to step into marriage life, the couple would have already hinted each other through conversations/actions. For example, checking out on wedding fairs, asking how many kids would the partner want in future, which area is best to live at, would you want to stay with your family after marriage, etc.
I would suggest for guys to plan early on proposal if you plan to surprise your partner. It is seriously not fun anymore when aunties and uncles get involve in the process. They spoil all the fun when they kept pestering you and questioning when you would get married. Pft.
And ladies, if you have a childhood dream of how your marriage proposal would take place, its best for you to share with your partner to avoid any disappointment. Although there are people who tell you that you should let it flow naturally, don't need to care about what people say.
Few things that you should hint/share with your partner on your preference on marriage proposal:
Well, I personally do not care about one karat diamond ring and fancy proposal. All I wanted was a private proposal with flowers. And the guy has to kneel once in his life so that I can fulfill my fairy tale wish. Ask and you will be given :)
For Christian couples, I would strongly suggest you to go through pre-marriage course even before marriage proposal. It benefited my husband and I greatly and kind of set the expectation for us. It also allows us to understand each other better. Pre-marriage course is also mandatory for most churches if you want to hold your wedding ceremony in church.

- Venue. Should it be private or public?
- Flowers. Yes or no?
- To kneel or not to kneel.
