Grand,Watch Genie in a String Bikini (2006) public promposals are, like, fine and all.

From channelling Beauty and the Beastand Pixar, to jumping out of planes, teens have done just about everything in their quest to find a date for prom. But teens are now taking their elaborate, OTT promposals into the realm of Snapchat.

Jacob Beacham, 18, from Tomball, Texas, was racking his brains for the perfect way to prompose that didn't seem "basic."

"I scrabbled for ideas to ask Olivia to the prom because, well, she like means the world to me, so I needed to do something special for her!" he said.

When he saw that Snapchat has a geofilter section on its website, allowing Snapchatters to design, map, and buy their own filters, he knew that was how he wanted to prompose. He said it was "super easy" to set up because Snapchat has templates ready-made and you can customise them to fit your event. Once you've customised it, you search for an address and you "box out" that area and add a start and end time for your filter. The filters start at $5 and the cost depends on a few factors.

"Okay so when it finally came down to ask her I wanted to add my own little twist," says Beacham.

He got a piñata, filled it with her favourite candy and a letter that read "prom." Once she'd broken the piñata and read the letter, he told her to Snapchat a photo of him holding a bouquet of roses. "When she saw the filter she cried," says Beacham.

He believes that Snapchat geofilters are the next big promposal trend. "I think that in the future geofilters are gonna become extremely popular for promposals. I'm just super stoked to be one of the first ones to do it," Beacham said.

Beacham isn't the only one at the forefront of this new promposal trend. Zena Gittens, 17, from Toronto, Canada, was inspired to prompose to her date using a geofilter after reading a tweet about someone's mom buying a Snapchat geofilter that went live at their school for their birthday.

"I was surprised that I was the first person at my school to think of doing a promposal like that. It's also a nice way to make your promposal public, as anyone in that area can use the filter," says Gittens. She thinks that everyone at her school loved her geofilter, and more and more people will start promposing with geofilters in the future. Eighteen-year-old Casey Kemerling from Iowa City was inspired to create a geofilter promposal after a girl he knew was surprised by her friends with a geofilter for her birthday. He took his girlfriend Sydney out to dinner and snapped a photo of her -- complete with the promposal filter -- for his Snapchat story.

Kemerling said that Sydney usually looks at his Snap story straight away, but she didn't do it this time. After five minutes he told her to look at his story, claiming that the restaurant they were in had a really cool geofilter.

"She looked and her hand immediately went over her mouth and she says, 'OMG Casey I'm actually going to cry, this is so amazing,'" Kemerling said. He said that her reaction was "by far the best part." He believes that once people learn how to make geofilters, the trend will "catch on like fire."

Snapchat geofilters could be the discreet alternative to OTT public promposals we've all been longing for. Snapchatters beware, though: Everyone in your location will be able to see your filter regardless of your date's response.

Just be sure bae will say yes.
