Christmas is the most magical time of the year. What could make it more magical? Perhaps, a well-organized proposal to the one you love with a shimmering ring that makes her eyes twinkle will make Christmas day the happiest.
Roughly 40% of proposals are during winter for a reason – it is magical. Therefore, if you wish to do the same, take a look at some most romantic proposal ideas.
1. The Christmas Tree Proposal
Spend the evening together turning your tree into a twinkly festive beacon. Wine is encouraged. Pause to marvel at your handiwork, then graciously insist your better half puts the star/fairy on top of the Christmas tree. Watch as their face fills with surprise as you get down on one knee…
2. A Box Inside a Box, Inside a Box, Inside a Box
You will need a ring, an assortment of boxes in a range of sizes, wrapping paper. Do not underestimate the amount of wrapping paper required for the task.
Method: Wrap the ring box and *place it inside a slightly bigger box, wrap the slightly bigger box. Repeat from * until you have a really big box. Place under the tree ready the night before. On Christmas morning, watch as your partner opens each box with increasing frustration. Be ready to pop the question.
3. Christmas Lights Proposal
Untangle that big, ugly mess of Christmas lights from last year. Patience is key. Spell “Will You Marry Me” on the roof or lawn. Make sure your partner does not see you doing this. Wait until it gets dark and have them plug the lights in. Ta-Dah!
4. Santa Baby!
Equip yourself with a phony bag of toys then, disguised as Santa Claus, surprise your partner at a Christmas party. If you’re truly dedicated you may consider taking a part-time gig at your local grotto. First, invite their friends to sit on your knee (it helps if they’re in on this clever ruse too). When it’s your partner's turn, drop down on one knee and reveal yourself as their lover.
5. Propose with a Christmas Card
When writing your Christmas card it’s important to remember everyone loves a pun. Our favorite is ‘Say Yule Be Mine’.
6. The Christmas Pudding Proposal
There’s an ancient tradition we have here in Blighty of hiding sixpence in the pudding. Despite the fact very few people actually like Christmas pudding, this is one of the most popular ways to propose at Christmas.
7. Write it in the Snow
Because you’re just that kind of giving and selfless partner, offer to go out and defrost the car/scrape the patio. You have no intention of actually doing this. Instead, scrape the words ‘MARRY ME’ onto your widescreen or lawn.
8. Propose at a Christmas Party
The whole family has that Prosecco glow about them and everyone’s eating a lot of cheese. It’s the perfect time to propose with your nearest and dearest around you.
