Why You Should Have a Holiday Engagement

The holidays are a magical time of year to be with friends and family.

There is so much to celebrate, and since it's a season of celebrations, why not add one more thing to the list: your engagement. There are many reasons to propose during this time of year, and here are just a few of them:

1. Family can be in on it.

Proposals can be difficult to pull off by yourself. You sometimes need a group of people to help make it perfect, especially if the proposal is elaborate. But even if your proposal is sweet and simple, chances are that you at least want someone to take a picture of the two of you, so you have a memory to look back on and cherish. The holidays bring families together, which means there will be more people around to help you pop the question.

2. A more scenic proposal.

Part of creating the perfect proposal is asking that special someone to marry you in the most dreamy setting imaginable, and the holidays provide the perfect backdrop for the event. You could propose in front of a pine tree, surrounded by beautiful, twinkling lights. Or in front of a glowing fireplace with stockings hanging. Or in front of sparkling, snow-capped mountains. These are just some of the images you can use as the background to your proposal.

3. Always remember the day.

Everyone celebrates their wedding anniversary, but not everyone celebrates the anniversary of the day they got engaged. However, when you propose during the holidays, the date will always be easy to remember and will give you an added celebration each year. It can bring the two of you closer together as you remember the season in which you became engaged.

4. The family is already together.

After you get engaged, the first thing you want to do is tell everyone and celebrate! The two of you will want to show off the ring, and be with the people who love you most: your families. This is not always possible due to distance or other circumstances. But the holidays are a time when families gather together, which means that you can celebrate with family as soon as you get engaged! Not only will the proposal be memorable, but the celebration will be cherished by all.

5. More opportunities to propose.

There are a multitude of activities that are exclusive to the holidays. Caroling, gift giving, and decorating are just some of the things that happen only during this particular season. You can seize the opportunity these unique activities bring to ask the most important question of your life to the most important person in your life. And because these activities are only done during this time of year, doing them will remind you of your love for each other and the memory of your proposal.

6. You get to start new traditions.
