The holiday season provides the perfect backdrop for popping the question. With holiday cheer at its highest and the world blanketed in snow, proposing during this time of year will be a memorable event that marks the start of your life together. From engagement rings to scheduling, there are many things to take into account when planning a holiday marriage proposal. To help you better navigate these factors, below are some dos and don'ts to keep in mind.

Do:

Learn what your partner likes.

In the weeks and months leading up to the big question, take note of what your partner seems to like when it comes to proposals. Are they a more private person who would feel most comfortable in a one-on-one setting? Or, would they prefer to be surrounded by family and friends? Consider your partner's relationship with their loved ones and how involved you want them to be in the proposal.

Take a moment for just the two of you.

This will give you both a chance to step away from all the emotions and the onslaught of congratulations and absorb all the joy of the situation. It doesn't need to be grand, as it's a chance to connect partner-to-partner. Go for a walk in the snow, grab a cup of coffee, or stop into a favorite restaurant for a celebratory glass of champagne.

Don't:

Center the proposal around an existing holiday celebration.

The temptation to make a big splash is understandable. Still, there are too many variables at play when centering a proposal around an existing holiday celebration, such as a family get-together. When large groups assemble, there can be any number of stressors that throw you off. Instead, plan to propose near the beginning of the celebration, which will leave ample time for the festivities and give your partner time to show off their engagement ring.

Forget to ask family and friends for help.

If you need help from family or friends in popping the question, ask them well in advance. They can assist in creating the ideal setting for the big event, and they can offer advice on details you may not be entirely sure of, like engagement ring sizes or your partner's dreams about how they would like their proposal to go.
