Christmas is just around the corner, which means high-tide engagement season is almost upon us. While some may have their proposals planned to a “T”, others may be leaning towards a more impromptu approach to popping the question. While a spur-of-the-moment proposal might seem spontaneous and romantic, it doesn’t have to be disorganized! We’re here to share some great ideas that won’t cause you too much disarray or stress, and help you pull of a last-minute holiday proposal she’s sure to remember forever!

You already bought the ring and thought out what you’re going to say, but perhaps you want to incorporate some creativity into your proposal. Although your choices may be limited in terms of location and/or resources, you can still work your magic to score a last-minute reservation or call ahead a botanical garden or hotel to fill them in on your plan. After all, the goal is not only to surprise you S.O, but also to ensure that they say “yes”!

Additionally, enlisting members of his/her family for help might take some of the stress of a last-minute proposal off your shoulders. You never know who has connections or creative suggestions, and by the end of the day, you could have an awesome list of referrals and unique ideas to pull off your proposal!

Here are some of our recommendations for a last-minute holiday proposal:

Unique Ideas to Propose

S-P-E-L-L It Out

If they’re a fan of board games like Scrabble, spelling out “MARRY ME” with the game tiles is sure to catch them off guard! It’s spontaneous, effective, and personable—all key ingredients of any successful and memorable proposal. If board games aren’t their fancy, perhaps alphabet refrigerator magnets? Same concept, yet equally as effective!

A Snowy Surprise

Live in a city where it snows in the winter? Use the weather to your advantage and create a winter-wonderland proposal! Write in the snow with a shovel or rake, or perhaps build snowmen and put the ring on one of their arms to give your S.O. the big hint! You’ll go from walking in a winter wonderland to walking hand-in-hand down the aisle!

A Steamy Delight

Hot chocolate goes hand-in-hand with the holiday season. The joy of cuddling with a loved one in a crocheted blanket, sipping on some hot chocolate, and watching your favorite Christmas movie is simply indescribable. Don’t let this opportunity pass you by: grab a mug and a permanent marker, and write on the inside of the mug the big question. As your loved one sips on his/her hot cocoa, you’ll be shaking with anticipation for them to reach the bottom of the mug and find your special message. And when they do, it’ll be all smiles from there on out!

Ask Her… Literally!

When the whole fam is in town, a good game of trivia lightens up the evening and tests everyone’s common knowledge. How about using the game to your advantage and testing your S.O. on the ultimate question? During your turn, ask them to marry you—we bet they’ll be expecting some current events question, but what they’ll get is a question that the only way they should answer is “yes!”!

Conclusion

Feeling slightly more prepared to make your S.O. your spouse? Just remember, confidence is key! Even if you don’t pull out all the stops for an extravagant proposal, using the right words and actions to show them you are head-over-heels in love with them will be enough to earn a “yes” to your heart-warming proposal. Try any of these ideas when popping the question to your special someone this holiday season. Happy holidays, and happy proposing!
