Think you might be getting engaged soon? 19% of all engagements occur in December, more than any time of year including Valentine’s Day. But before you put a ring on it and starting thinking about save the date cards, here are the pros and cons of a December engagement. Read on and perhaps you’ll be swayed to either wait or go-ahead with your asking or accepting!
Pros of a December engagement
- The holiday season is a great opportunity to spend time with extended family on both sides. Having your families nearby is a meaningful way to include them in your engagement celebration.
- The holidays are full of moments that easily lend themselves to a proposal. Decorating the tree and passing a new sparkling ‘ornament’, or building up the week’s Hanukkah presents leading to the ultimate gift of a ring.
- The general anticipation and excitement of Christmas and New Year’s Eve can set a wonderfully festive tone for your wedding proposal evening.
Cons of a December engagement
- Be aware that the engagement may be overshadowed by the holiday season. Consider if your partner would rather have a wedding proposal on its “own” day, instead of on Christmas or New Year’s Eve.
- The holiday season can bring a lot of stress, and suddenly having to think about wedding planning on top of it all may seem overwhelming to some.
- Your proposal may not feel very private or intimate with so many family members around.
