The start of cooler weather doesn’t just mean that the holidays are around the corner. It also means that it is the beginning of engagement season.
It’s not hard to see why Christmas and New Year’s Eve make for great proposal days; the backdrop is pretty much perfect. You can find twinkling lights, falling snow and decorations galore almost wherever you go. These festive environments provide romantic proposal scenes that your partner won’t be able to resist.
Top DOs and DON’Ts
- Consider what your partner prefers – they may want a big, showy public proposal or a more intimate ask.
- Make sure the day isn’t so busy with holiday activities that the proposal gets lost. Be sure it can stand alone as a celebration all its own.
- Ask for help when you need it. This could be a proposal consultant or a friend who can assist you or help with ideas.
Seven Proposal Ideas
If a snow-covered ask is in your future, let these holidays ideas inspire your proposal:
- Drop to one knee during a Christmas tree lighting since nothing is more magical than seeing a sparkling evergreen.
- If you want to opt for a more personal moment, a sleigh ride is a perfect intimate proposal.
- You can decorate a tree together and hand your soon-to-be-betrothed a special ornament to hang. When they read the big question on the ornament, be ready with your ring.
- Create or custom order an advent calendar (you can find some good options on sites like Etsy). Fill each day with a special treat and then pick the day you want to house the ring to be discovered.
- Hide the ring at a Christmas tree lot by tying it on a branch with a red ribbon and lead your significant other to that perfect tree. (Have someone watch the ring at all times of course!)
- Take a few laps at your favorite ice rink before you put the ‘ice’ on their finger.
- A Christmas card photoshoot is the perfect way to propose and ensures that the special moment is caught on camera. Plus, you can have your S.O. dressed for the occasion without raising any suspicions.
Whether you want to surprise your future spouse with an intimate moment for just the two of you, or they are expecting a big public proposal, your special holiday ask is sure to be all that the two of you have envisioned. “Ring” in your holidays with a new engagement and be sure to have it insured before the ball drops!
