Planning the Perfect Holiday Proposal

Now that Christmas and New Year's are fast approaching it's time for you to make the perfect holiday proposal plan.  This could very well be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, so don't mess it up!

Questions for Planning the Perfect Proposal

The first thing you need to do is think about the perfect proposal. Some of the questions that you can ask yourself include:

• What time of day works best?
• How many people should know about it?
• Where would be a good place for the proposal?
• Will there be a ring or other symbol of the proposal?

After thinking about the perfect proposal, you'll need to think of some ideas that will help you actually propose. Some good ideas include:

Holiday Proposal Ideas:

• Hire a skywriter to write "Marry Me?" over your town on New Year's Eve so you can pop the question as people gaze up at it.
• Surprise your significant other with a scavenger hunt in which you lead them to find all the clues in order to find where they are when you propose.
• Plan a holiday baking day and decorate cookies. Make it a competition, and write "Marry Me?" on your cookies.
• Write your proposal on the bottom of all the snowflakes after a snowstorm.
• Put up some mistletoe and hang the ring from it. When your loved one is under it, get down on one knee and pop the question.
• Propose at a holiday party, where you'll have other people around to support your partner when they say yes.
• Wrap up a small package with a note saying it is the first gift from your future spouse and place it under their tree.
• Make a gingerbread man, and attach a ring to him before baking.

5 Things to Keep in Mind While Planning

Now that you have some ideas, you'll need to think about logistics. Some things to keep in mind include:

1. If you're planning it for New Year's Eve or another holiday party, watch how much you're drinking. You don't want to be so drunk that you can't remember what happened!
2. Make sure you have all the details planned out, so there are no miscommunications that could ruin your perfect holiday proposal.
3. Don't forget to get a great photographer who can capture every precious moment!
4. Make sure you know if your loved one wants an expensive ring or something simple before choosing what kind of ring to get them.
5. Be flexible. If you want to propose at a specific location but it's already taken, by somebody else or is unsuitable for whatever reason, come up with a backup plan.
