The Best Christmas Proposal Ideas For Your Loved One

Modern Wedding Posted: November 20, 2020

We are nearly at “the most beautiful time of year”… for a proposal. Christmas is full of wonderful opportunities to pop the question; whether you’re looking for an intimate moment together or an extravagant way, we have got you covered! These moments will definitely have your partner feeling like they’re in a Christmas movie.

Surprise, Surprise…

Adding the ring to the tree is a gorgeous surprise for any lucky partner. Wake up early to hang the ring for the cutest morning reveal or wait for the perfect moment throughout the day. We love the idea of using ribbon to ensure the ring is twinkling from the tree lights.

The Other Prettiest Tree Decoration…

Want to hide the proposal for a little longer? Hide the ring in a bauble disguised box and keep it hanging on the tree until you find the perfect moment. Also, it’s a cute fun test to see if your partner notices an unexpected bauble appear.

Shop Until You Drop. To One Knee…

If you are looking for the most unexpected moment, shopping is definitely one of them. Your partner will be too engrossed in Christmas shopping to even think about the idea. Utilize the moment spent together, surrounded by hundreds of decorations and lights all around you, and drop to one knee when the moment feels right for you!

Christmas Pudding; Cliché Or Classic?…

Your partner may think they’ve struck gold by finding the coin hidden in the Christmas pudding until they realize it’s much superior and you’re down on one knee. We suggest wrapping the ring first to avoid it getting ruined and planting the ring in their serving at the last minute to avoid anyone else finding it…Awkward!

Santa Baby…

Dressing up as Santa is a fun and funny way to pop the question that can be done at any given moment. Get creative and decorate your house on Christmas Eve as if Santa has come, sit by the tree waiting for your partner to find you to then pop that magical question. They will certainly know they made it onto Father Christmas’s Nice List!

Meet Me Under The Mistletoe…

An enchanting proposal that can be intimate or extravagant. We love the idea of snuggling up with your partner, watching their favourite Christmas movie with their favourite snack, and when the time is right hold the mistletoe over your head and ask those famous four words. Looking for something extravagant? Hold a mini photoshoot and take a snapshot of the beautiful moment under the mistletoe. Maybe even use the photos for next year’s Christmas card?

Socks, Bodywash, A Ring?…

Whether you both open your Christmas stockings just the two of you or surrounded by family, the moment of finding that little square box will add so much more joy to their Christmas.

This is no joke…

Christmas crackers are famous for useless toys and rubbish jokes. Why not create your own cracker with the ring inside for a surprise of a lifetime. Just make sure it is secured tight within the cracker to avoid any unwanted lost rings!

Say it in lights…

We love the tradition of driving around the neighborhood admiring all the houses covered in Christmas lights. If this is something you do together, why not incorporate your own house at the end either on your own or have all your family and friends waiting to enjoy the perfect moment together.

Elf On The Shelf…

Known for being naughty but make him nice. Find the perfect spot to place the cheeky elf with the ring ready and waiting for your partner to find him.
