It’s no secret that wintertime is a wonderful time for engagements. In fact, according to a recent survey, 19% of engagements in the United States happen around the holidays. Given the fact that it’s one of the most romantic times of the year, it makes sense that so many couples get engaged. If you’re in love with the prospect of popping the question during the most wonderful time of the year, but you’re short on ideas, don’t worry. Our team here at Mark’s Diamonds has been helping people pop the question during every time of year for decades now–we have a few holiday proposal ideas up our sleeve that we’re ready to share with you.
Write It In the Snow
If you have snow in your area, use mother nature to your advantage!
On freshly fallen snow, carve out “Will You Marry Me?” and then, bring your love out to answer the question. This is best on a day when it does not plan on snowing beyond the time you engrave the message in the snow. If flakes do start to come down, find a shady area to write out your message. This sweet, beautiful gesture goes to show that you don’t need a big, flashy, expensive event to show the love of your life how you feel.
Propose with an Ornament
Another super cute way to propose this holiday season is with a Christmas ornament. You can place the ring at the top of the ornament and surprise your sweetheart. This ornament will also probably become a traditional ornament that you put up each year to commemorate the special occasion, so try to find one that’s a bit more unique and memorable than your average orb.
Involve Creative Crafts
Whenever the holidays come around, people love to get crafty. If you are a duo who enjoys doing creative projects together, add a twist on the next project by proposing! Great proposal craft ideas include Christmas cookie decorating, ornament making, greeting card crafting and more. For more craft ideas, check out crafting magazines or Pinterest boards for inspiration.
Take Advantage of Christmas Lights
Use the Christmas lights you already have out to your advantage by incorporating them into your holiday proposal. You can create a sweet light scene or even spell out the message in lights. If you do decide to go with this method, make sure to have enough lights and have someone to give you a hand. Also, this proposal will look most brilliant under the stars, so make sure to have warm clothing and hot chocolate ready.
Grab the Carolers
Whenever the holidays come around, people love the Christmas tunes that come with it. From “Deck the Halls” to “Jingle Bells”, people just can’t get enough of these songs. Whether your sweetie is a big fan of singing, has a favorite Christmas carol, or is a fan of anything and everything that gets them in the holiday spirit, take your proposal to the next level by incorporating Christmas carolers into it. Christmas carolers add even more romantic vibes to the atmosphere to make the night even more special.
Secret Santa
Now this is a great way to get your friends and family involved in your special moment! A Secret Santa exchange is a really sweet way to propose–especially if your sweetheart is dead set on having loved ones present at the proposal. Team up with everyone to make sure you get your significant other’s name. From there, all you have to do is wrap the gift and wait for the big day. Also, ask your friends to take videos or pictures of the moment it all happens. It will be a great way to look back and remember the night.
Underneath the Mistletoe
What’s more romantic than mistletoe?
Adding some to your proposal is the cherry on top of a perfect moment. For this proposal, you need to wait for the right moment. Wait until your sweetheart is not paying attention and then drop down on your knee. From there, ask the question and then wait for a reply. Then, it can all end with a kiss underneath the mistletoe. To remember the moment forever, ask someone to take a photo or video as it is happening.
