A Holiday Proposal Planning Guide

As holiday proposals go, this time of year has a magical quality. Whether it’s the twinkling lights against the snow or cuddling with your loved one sipping hot chocolate, for many it makes sense to add to the romantic feels with a holiday proposal.

Cosmopolitan’s recently published article 13 Ways to Plan the Best Christmas Proposal Ever suggests some key options for a successful holiday proposal. Here are some of our favorites that will help you along the way.

1) Do not wait until the last minute to avoid rush fees, obtain access to more inventory and allow you to special order your engagement ring which can take up to six weeks. Dan Decker, guest support manager at Robbins Brothers, says the primary reason why you’d need more time is for customization of the ring; switching the metal type, ordering a specific size, etc. Along with this sound advice, our expert team of engagement experts is here to help you through a shortened planning window along with some proposal planning checklists to keep you on task.

2) Save some money for resizing that ring! More often than not, Dan says the ring you chose will need to be adjusted, altered, or customized. Be sure to set some of your budget aside to alter that brilliant engagement ring after the holiday proposal if needed.

3) If you’re short on time or just want to be sure you get a ring she loves, consider selecting a “single stone or classic solitaire”; also known as the “Will You” ring. This type of ring is the easiest to set and allows you AND your future bride to pick a setting together that is perfect. We offer an array of solitaire diamonds that fit every budget and all plans for a successful holiday proposal.

4. Don’t wait for Black Friday deals. As Cosmopolitan points out, “Diamonds, gold, and platinum have an inherent value on the market. So if something is on sale for 50% off, it was likely 50% overpriced to begin with…” Why wait when we can help with our great finance offers NOW!!

5. Make sure to find time alone. Whether the engagement is a private affair, or one that includes friends and family, it’s important to make some time for the two of you. Be sure to steal some alone time either during the holiday proposal or after to create an intimate memory.
