We love the idea of holiday proposals. And why not? The season is all about time with family and friends and making new memories together. And what memory could be more meaningful than getting engaged? Here are some holiday proposal ideas to help get you started on a plan.

Factor in holidays (and family)

Planning a Christmas wedding proposal? Family will likely be part of the celebration, and hopefully, that's a good thing. After all, who doesn't love an audience? Be sure you find out who will be around when you propose. Will you let anyone in on the secret beforehand? Can you trust them not to spill the beans?

If you aren't sure you want a crowd for the big moment, consider planning a more intimate proposal before friends and family arrive.

weather in mind

While a white Christmas may sound ideal, bad winter weather causes traffic issues, logistical problems and unexpected delays. It's important to stay flexible and have a backup plan and a backup plan for your backup plan. When considering Christmas proposal ideas, try to anticipate every potential scenario so you can work around weather-related problems.

Get creative

A little creativity can make your proposal extra memorable. If you're proposing during Hanukkah, consider making your ring the final gift on the eighth night. If you plan to propose at Christmas, hide the ring in their stocking. Need a fun New Year's proposal idea? Take a knee at the stroke of midnight with the ring at the bottom of a glass of champagne.

Whatever you decide to do, don't forget that the most important parts of a proposal are the ring and the person who will be wearing it. Don't get too caught up in setting a flawless scene. At the end of the day, they'll remember most how they felt as you popped the question!
