The Do's and Don'ts of Christmas Proposals

Are you planning to propose this holiday season? Depending on who you talk to, popping the question on Christmas is a big “YAY” or a strong “NAY.”
You don’t have to listen to the nay-sayers, but there are some best practices we’d recommend. Here are the dos and don’ts of proposing over the holidays.
Do Consider Your Partner’s Preferences
No matter when you plan to propose, you should always consider what your partner’s preferences are. Would they like a quaint Christmas morning proposal or a proposal surrounded by friends and family at the dinner table? Before planning any of the other details – start here!
Do Plan on Celebrating With Just the Two of You
Even if your partner is a socialite who loves being around people, you should plan for some time to privately celebrate! After all, this engagement is all about the two of you as a couple. If you’ll be with family the entire day, plan to slip away for a glass of champagne so you can soak it all in together!
Don’t Get Too Cheesy (Unless You’re Both into That)
Christmas proposals can easily go wrong (think Santa suit), so beware. It’s OK to take advantage of some holiday elements (mistletoe, anyone?), but try not to go overboard.
Don’t Be Afraid to Ask for Help
Pulling off a surprise Christmas proposal can be tough, especially if your partner sees it coming. Don’t be afraid to recruit help in the form of friends and family members. A little bit of help can go a long way to creating a perfect surprise moment. However…
Do Be Careful Who You Tell Beforehand
If you’re getting help with your proposal, be picky about who you let in on your secret. Even supportive family members can accidentally ruin a surprise!
