You may have noticed, that approximately five days after each major holiday, engagement announcements start to pop up on Facebook and Instagram. Valentine\u2019s day still holds a lot of popularity, and Christmas is not far behind. Holiday proposals seem to be an incredibly divisive issue among couples who are getting engaged and people are either super for it, or very against it.<\/p>\n<h2>Why Holiday Proposals are Great<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your family is around so you can celebrate<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You will never forget your anniversary<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are decorations everywhere, so you will have a cute backdrop<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s a special emotional time and this adds a whole other element to it.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<div class=\"post-images\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eventsource.ca\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/holiday-proposals-1.jpg\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"class=\"link-image link-image_wide\" rel=\"gallery\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"full-size-image alignnone wp-image-63823 size-full\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgNjAwIiB3aWR0aD0iOTAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjYwMCIgZGF0YS11PSJodHRwcyUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5ldmVudHNvdXJjZS5jYSUyRmJsb2clMkZ3cC1jb250ZW50JTJGdXBsb2FkcyUyRjIwMTklMkYwNCUyRmhvbGlkYXktcHJvcG9zYWxzLTEuanBnIiBkYXRhLXc9IjkwMCIgZGF0YS1oPSI2MDAiIGRhdGEtYmlwPSIiPjwvc3ZnPg==\" data-spai=\"1\" alt=\"holiday proposals\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\"  \/><\/a><\/div>\n<h2>Why Holiday Proposals Aren\u2019t Great<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your family is around (yes this goes on both lists)<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lots of people get engaged on holidays<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You have to share your anniversary with a holiday<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The &#8220;cheese&#8221; factor is high\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are planning to propose on a holiday, keep in mind that some are better to propose on than others.

Maybe they don\u2019t want to share their anniversary with a holiday or other special occasion. Or, maybe they would love to get engaged when they\u2019re surrounded by family. Either way, you should have a read on how your partner would react to a holiday proposal.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In the end however, you have to go with what\u2019s right for you. If your partner loves Christmas more than anything in the world, a proposal on Christmas Eve will be remembered forever. Your proposal should reflect your relationship and be something meaningful to the two of you, regardless of the opinions of others.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Proposals are a big deal and should be planned very carefully, or at least thought through.
