After the year we’ve all had, I’m sure everyone’s looking forward to some holiday cheer, and now might be the perfect time to show your special someone that you’re ready for the rest of your life with them. How can you plan the perfect pandemic proposal? What would be better than coming into the new year engaged and safe with the ones you love?
While we may not be in the clear just yet, that shouldn’t stop you from making your moment the most memorable. There are plenty of ways to pop the question while staying safe this season. As featured in Destination I Do, we’ve come up with a few memorable pandemic proposal ideas that you can use when the time is right.
If you’re planning to get engaged, please consider some of these ideas and start planning soon because it’s almost time to prepare Thanksgiving dinner and put up your Christmas Stockings!
A Holiday Getaway
While travel may be difficult this year, many traditional holiday vacation spots like winter lodges and ski resorts are adapting to the situation with contactless check in and safety procedures. What could be more romantic than proposing among white-capped peaks or in a comfortable cabin with a roaring fire. There are plenty of distanced activities available in these locations like hiking, ice skating, and skiing which will make the occasion fun and safe.
Planting a Seed at the Tree Farm
Why not start a family while picking out the family tree? A lot of Christmas tree farms will be allowing scheduled visits to couples looking to buy the perfect tree to celebrate the season with. This could be the perfect opportunity to propose in a beautiful and safe setting, surrounded by holiday cheer. Reach out to the location first and see if they will work with you to set up a special surprise!
Home Alone
While not as glamorous as many other proposal ideas, you can definitely make your moment shine from the comfort of your own home. Maybe pop the question while you’re decorating or disguise the ring as a gift on Christmas day? You can plan the scenario perfectly and not have to worry about getting sick, it could be perfect and the perfect way to say, “Will you marry me?”
Christmas in the Park
Public parks may be a hotspot for COVID but many cities are setting up Christmas shows in open spaces with plenty of space for social distancing, look into local spots for your proposal and see if there’s a festive space where you can catch your partner off guard and get down on one knee. Here’s a guide from the CDC on ways to stay safe at public parks.
Holiday Standards
While times may be changing there are definitely holiday proposals from yesteryears that are still viable during the pandemic. You could write out your proposal message in the snow or through Christmas lights, maybe even get a custom made Christmas sweater that you can commemorate the moment with. Your pandemic proposal doesn’t have to be something innovative if that’s not what you’re going for, sometimes the classics can be just what a couple is looking for.
