Thinking of popping the question this holiday season? Read on to be inspired by a list of romantic holiday proposal ideas that take advantage of the magic of the most wonderful time of the year.
1. Write it in the snow
Get creative and incorporate the winter wonderland that surrounds you into your marriage proposal! Write your proposal message in big letters in the snow by carving it out with a shovel or by strategically placing flowers or rose petals in the snow.
P.S. This also works great in the sand for a magical beach proposal.
2. At a Christmas tree farm
Proposals that incorporate a Christmas tree are a classic and romantic option. Reach out to a local tree farm and ask if you can decorate a tree in advance of your visit. Then, get your partner to come along to pick their favourite tree and get down on one knee when you arrive at your decorated tree.
3. 12 days of Christmas
Giving a gift for all 12 days of Christmas (the 11 days leading up to Christmas) is always a sweet choice your partner is sure to appreciate. When your final gift is an engagement ring, it will be something they’re sure to never forget!
4. Say it in lights
Use Christmas lights, fairy lights, or candles, to write your proposal message in lights. Set up at home, outdoors or a favourite restuarant. Wherever you are it will result in some amazing engagement photos.
5. While decorating the tree
Imagine opening your eyes to this! Just ask your partner to help you decorate the Christmas tree, and tie the ring on a branch or make the ring box into an ornament to hang on the tree.
6. Christmas morning proposal
Stocking stuffers are usually small, making a ring box the perfect fit. It’s a wonderful start to a Christmas morning.
7. Advent Calendar
If you want to make it a full month of fun, you can make an Advent calendar part of your wedding proposal. Include a small gift each day of December with the final gift on Christmas morning being a ring box with the engagement ring in it.
8. Christmas Cracker Proposal
Hide the ring inside a Christmas cracker and get ready for the fun suprise and excitment sure to follow.
