Holiday Engagements

Did you know that close to 50% of proposals happen during the holiday season between November and February? The top four proposal dates are Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve and New Years Day, in that respective order.

If you are thinking of popping the question this holiday season, here are some things to consider:

  • Holidays bring family and loved ones together so there will be lots of people to celebrate with afterward.
  • You don’t want your engagement to get lost in the shuffle of so much going on. Propose in a place special to you both or something magical related to the holiday to make it something you both will treasure.
  • Consider the stress level of this time of year for both of you – choose a time of relaxation and ease.
  • Consider the future – do you want your engagement and holidays to overlap forever?
  • Avoid proposing during someone else’s celebration to keep the focus on your moment and avoid stealing theirs.
  • Holidays can be challenging for some and may not be the best choice for you or your partner.
  • Take some time to enjoy each other and your engagement. Schedule some time to reflect on this next step in your life.
  • Don’t feel rushed to begin planning right away. Enjoy the specialness of the season and your engagement. There is plenty of time for planning after the holidays.
