A Very Merry Christmas Proposal – How to Plan the Perfect Festive Proposal
Christmas is a magical time of year, a time of joy, a time for families and friends to gather together, and a time to tell those closest to you just how much they mean to you. So why not make this Christmas one that you will remember forever by proposing to your special someone and truly putting the icing on top of their Christmas cake! If you are planning a Christmas proposal we have six romantic and charming ideas for a Christmas that are sure to make this moment unforgettable:
In short: For a Christmas proposal, four things matter: timing (choose a private moment, not the chaotic gift-opening), the ring (have it custom-made or ready 4-6 weeks ahead), the setting (somewhere meaningful to both of you, not just "festive") and a photographer if you want to capture it. Avoid surprise public proposals unless you're certain.
- Think outside the box
- Pull A Christmas Cracker
- Underneath The Mistletoe
- Bake A Tasty Christmas Treat
- Sing her praises
- Name in Lights
As the Christmas tree is the focal point of many homes why not make your tree sparkle even more with the addition of a beautiful diamond engagement ring. Cleverly disguise your engagement ring perhaps as the centre point of the star or angel on top of your Christmas tree, within a festive box hung like a bauble or inside a custom made proposal bauble that contains your ring. Or for a more traditional approach why not hide your engagement ring with the other presents under the tree adopting the Russian doll tactic, and build up the excitement as each parcel gets smaller with your engagement ring being the last to be unwrapped. As you get down on bended knee to make your proposal your loved one will be delighted to receive the ultimate Christmas present – your declaration of love and a diamond engagement ring the whereabouts of which are revealed as you make your proposal. Christmas crackers are a traditional feature on the Christmas dinner table. Why not make your proposal in front of your friends and family over Christmas dinner – a great way to share this special moment with those that mean the most to you. Present your loved one with a Christmas cracker that when pulled, instead of a corny joke, reveals a note asking her to marry you at which point you present her with your chosen diamond engagement ring.
