You know them best, and this is a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">big moment<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> for you both, so plan with that in mind.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Would they say yes if you plan a <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">surprise proposal<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in public, or would they prefer a more quiet, intimate moment?

If you can, talk about preferences before you get engaged \u2014 that way you can be sure you\u2019ve chosen a style, metal, and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">gemstone<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that they will adore. If you want to keep the whole thing a surprise, gather insights from the types of jewelry they already wear, their favorite colors, and anything they\u2019ve hinted at previously.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>4.

Recounting a memory you love and ending with \u201c<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">will you marry me<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">?\u201d is just as romantic as sharing your entire love story from start to finish.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>5.

Keep this in mind as you look for the perfect time to pop the question to your <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">loved one<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Think about whether you want a festive proposal on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas Eve<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas Day<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or whether you want to step into the <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">new year<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> as a freshly engaged couple by proposing on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">New Year\u2019s Eve<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Make your timing feel special, too. Will you propose over breakfast on <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Christmas morning<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, or while you\u2019re enjoying a day out at a local festive market?<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>6.

Ask them to come to your door or your<\/span> <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.greenvelope.com\/blog\/holiday-party-invitation\">holiday party<\/a><\/strong><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> to sing traditional holiday songs, then end the performance with your proposal. Or better yet, gather some of your loved ones to sing carols and witness the special moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is a sweet idea if your partner adores carol singing and wants to get into the seasonal spirit. You could even get involved with the singing as an extra surprise for your spouse-to-be.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>7.
