10 Holiday Proposals They Won’t be Able to Resist
If you’re thinking about proposing around the upcoming holidays, there’s still plenty of time to put a plan in place. And there’s a reason Christmas Day and Christmas Eve rank consistently as the top two most popular days for engagements. Walking among thousands of twinkly lights, snuggling up at an outdoor ice skating rink or cozy fireplace or joining friends at a holiday pop-up bar are just a few of the many ways the holidays make an excellent choice for a picturesque proposal.
In fact, our brides who’ve experienced a holiday engagement say there’s no better gift. Read on for 10 festive proposal ideas – and some of our top choices of stunning diamond engagement rings from the master artisans at Tacori that will fit the bill for your magical engagement.
- Countdown with a Calendar. Advent Calendars are all the rage, but this one will take some creativity. Think of small gifts to give each day of December leading up to the final gift of an engagement ring on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning!
-
Hit the Slopes. Looking for an adventurous proposal? Whether you’re hitting the black diamonds, the hot tub or the lodge for apres ski, a ski-trip proposal pairs romance with adrenaline.
- Light it Up. You can choose a local tree lighting or one of the large-scale ones around the country like New York City’s Rockefeller Center. Time it when the lights first come on to maximize the moment.
- Take a Sleigh Ride. Book a trip in a horse-drawn sleigh and then pop the question with a thermos of hot chocolate, blankets and a sign posted along the way.
- Make it a Game. Crackers are party favors typically filled with a small gift, paper hat and a joke, but you can create a special one to hold a proposal note and the ring!
-
Hang an Ornament. Choose a small ornament for the big question. Hinged trinket boxes make a great choice to tuck in a ring, and you can hang it on the tree or put it in a stocking.
-
Pick a Tree. Old-fashioned romance awaits at a Christmas tree farm. As you search for the perfect tree, let your partner know you’ve already found the perfect one.
- Capture the Moment. If Christmas cards remain a favorite tradition for your family, consider booking a photoshoot. You’ll both be dressed to impress, the proposal will be caught on camera by a pro and your significant other will be super surprised by the change of events!
- Seal it with a Kiss. For a proposal that is full of intimacy and simplicity, make it a mistletoe moment.
-
Wrap it Up. Opening presents is already exciting, so imagine how your partner will feel to discover the gift is an engagement ring. Think about wrapping the ring in a larger box so you don’t give away this surprise!
