Thinking Of Proposing Over Christmas?

You won't want to miss our Top 10 Festive Proposal Ideas that'll make 'popping the question' even more magical!

Every year Christmas comes round and brings with it all of our favourite things; the decorations, the festive films, the Christmas songs you just can't help but sing along to and of course the FOOD, but the thing that makes Christmas really special is creating those special moments and making memories with the people we love. 

With all the festive cheer, glittering fairy lights and cozy evenings in front of the fireplace taking place this season we can't think of a more romantic setting to propose to your loved one than over Christmas. 

So we've gotten a little bit creative here at Judith Hart Jewellers and created our Top 10 Festive Proposal Ideas - let us know your favourite in the comments section below!

Jessica,

Judith Hart Jewellers

1. O' Christmas Tree...

Decorating the Christmas Tree together is a wonderfully festive tradition to include your loved ones in. Why not make it even more special by personalising a bauble with the words 'Will You Marry Me?' and hand it to your partner to hang on the tree, watch their face fill with surprise when they read it! You could even put the ring inside a clear bauble or attach to a ribbon!

2. Be A Little Advent-urous...

There's so many different kinds of advent calendar available now; chocolate, cosmetics, cheese, tea, prosecco - even pork scratchings! A homemade advent calendar is a lovely and romantic touch, treat your partner to thoughtful little gifts and messages throughout December and just when they think you couldn't possibly get any better, they'll open the final door on Christmas Eve to a dazzling engagement ring! 

3. A Box...In A Box...In A Box...

WARNING: For Experienced Wrappers ONLY! 

Start off with your ring box and wrap it up in Christmas paper, place it into a slightly bigger box and wrap again, repeat with boxes that slowly get bigger and bigger until you have a giant box with a very special secret hidden inside! Watch as your partner unwraps each box with growing excitement - and when they finally get to the smallest box be ready to ask the big question! 

4. A Cracking Question...

Hide the ring inside a Christmas Cracker with a party hat and your best (worst!) joke. If you win the cracker get down on one knee and ask them to marry you! If they win, let them find the ring and be ready to ask the question once they've realised what's happening! Either way, you'll propose with a bang!

5. 'To Me You Are Perfect...'

If you or your partner haven't seen the Christmas Classic 'Love Actually' then maybe this one isn't for you... but if you have then this Proposal Idea could be the one! (Show of hands those of you that know the scene we mean!) Write your romantic message on large pieces of card 1 sentence at a time and slowly reveal your proposal, preferably in a door way on a snowy winters night! *Sniff...* We're not crying you are!

6. Leave A 'Carat' For Rudolph...

This is a great one if you're a couple that's a sucker for tradition and still leave a carrot, a mince pie and a glass of milk for Santa - you know, just in case he ever did show up! Under the cover of darkness replace them with the diamond ring and sneak back to safety! They won't believe their eyes Christmas morning! 

7. A Sweet Stocking Filler...

Hide the ring right at the bottom of your partner's stocking, either keep it in it's box or tie it to a candy cane with a ribbon. Make sure it's the very last thing they pull out! Don't forget the obligatory Christmas Socks and Chocolate Coins!

8. The Christmas Pudding Proposal...

Despite the fact that very few people actually like Christmas Pudding, it is still one of the most popular ways to propose at Christmas. Just swap the traditional sixpence for the engagement ring and you're good to go - just make sure your other half gets the right piece, otherwise you might find yourself proposing to your future father-in-law... 

9. Enlist The Help Of A Pet...

If the thought of proposing yourself is all a bit too much for you to handle, then it's best to leave it to the dog! He'll look much cuter dressed as Rudolph than you anyway... engrave their dog tag with 'Will You Marry Me?' or pin a romantic message to their collar!

10. A Christmas Market...

Our December days and nights are forever filled with Christmas markets. Take advantage of the festive atmosphere and show your Christmas spirit by proposing under the twinkling decorations and make everyone's day! The best part is, there's usually mulled wine nearby if you need a little courage beforehand! 

However you choose to propose we'd love to hear your Christmas Proposal stories - just comment below! We hope this list of our Top 10 Proposals has given you some inspiration this festive season! 

Merry Christmas!
