A Christmas to Remember – 6 Fun Ways to Make Your Holiday Proposal Unique
With holiday cheer and joy all around, Christmas is a wonderful season to be in love, and it’s no wonder that it’s also a popular time to pop the question. After all, what better gift to give your beloved than yourself? The real question for Christmas proposals is: How can you make it your own? Of course, there are millions of ways to personalize it, but first you’ll need to start with a main idea, and to help you get going, we’ve made a list of some fun and unique holiday proposal ideas:
- Put it on an ornament – Paint “Marry Me?” on an ornament, or have one custom-made, and then hand it to her while you’re both decorating your Christmas tree.
- Have “Santa” bring the ring – Wrap the ring box and put it on the hearth or under the tree. Tell her Santa must have left her an extra gift this year, and as she opens it, get down on your knee. When she looks back at you, pop the question.
- Take a sleigh ride – There aren’t many things more romantic than a jingle-belled sleigh ride in the snow. Take her on a ride, and while she’s enjoying the scenery, bring out the ring.
- Serenade her– The holidays are filled with music, and you can incorporate this into your proposal. Sing to her yourself, or hire a band to play Christmas carols. Take her
for a walk in the park and “stumble upon” the band.(1) When you arrive, have them start playing a song that’s meaningful to both of you, and then get down on one knee.
- Put her name in lights – Coordinate with the organizer of a drive-through holiday lights display to have the final installation include string lights that spell out “marry me” with her name. Take her to the display, and when you reach the final house, park the car and pull out the ring.
- Enlist her friends and family – For many people, Christmas is a time to spend with family, and if your beloved is very close to hers, then getting them involved in the proposal could make it even more special. Ask them to take her out of the house for a few hours, and while she’s gone, set up a romantic scene complete with candles, flowers, chilled champagne, and Christmas music playing in the background. When they bring her back home, have her family lead her to the room you’ve set up. Get down on one knee, and while you propose, have her family take photos of her reaction. Inviting her family to be there for the big event, and getting a picture of the exact moment, shows her that you understand her commitment to family and gives them all a memory to cherish forever.
