Seven Reasons to Plan a Sparkling New Year's Eve Proposal

There's really never a bad time to become engaged when you're in love. However, certain dates can pepper your proposal with some extra magic. Simply popping the question on a Tuesday night as you split a pizza with your partner may not make a great story for the grandchildren one day. When is the best time to propose? New Year’s Eve has become one of the most romantic options for popping the question. Are you thinking of presenting a ring as you ring in a new year with your love? Here are the seven sparkling reasons why you should definitely propose on New Year's Eve. 

​You'll Already Be Dressed in Nice Clothes

Your partner might not love the idea of being surprised with a ring on an ordinary day. A big part of becoming engaged these days revolves around taking a photo of the occasion to share on social media. New Year's Eve presents the perfect opportunity for an engagement because your beloved will already be all dressed up in a photo-ready ensemble.

​New Year's Eve Is Inherently Romantic

Having a date for New Year's Eve is always a big deal. There is just something about this night that people associate with romance. You don't need to look any further than the tradition of proposing at Times Square on camera to know that this holiday is a big night for engagements. 

​The Element of Surprise Works to Your Advantage on New Year's Eve

The holiday season is a busy time of year. You can use the hectic nature of the season to totally surprise your unsuspecting partner. Most people assume that holiday engagements only happen on Christmas. In fact, your partner may think that the idea of a holiday engagement is a ship that has already sailed if you haven't proposed by Dec. 26. Asking for your beloved’s hand in marriage on New Year's Eve suddenly makes the element of surprise work in your favor. Here's a look at some cute ideas for proposing on New Year's Eve:
​

• Plan a big dinner with friends and family that will end with a ring hidden in the dessert.
• Get down on one knee just as the countdown to the next year has started.
• Show your partner the ring box by saying there is a forgotten present waiting under the tree.
• Plan a low-key winter hike under the stars to lead your partner to a romantic proposal spot.
  ​

Nobody knows your partner like you do. It can be really fun to come up with unique scenarios that will leave your partner surprised and ecstatic. The great thing is that suspicion levels will be low when you plan something special on a day that's already a big holiday.

​You Can Propose in Front of Everyone You Love

Some people love to include their loved ones in special events. Assembling close friends and family members for a surprise engagement at a random point during the year can be tricky. What's more, your partner may become suspicious if you plan an event that includes friends and family members. New Year's Eve presents a perfect opportunity to propose in front of the people you care about because it's a time when everyone comes together to celebrate and spread good cheer!

You Can Plan a New Year's Eve Wedding for the Next Year

People sometimes propose on New Year's Eve because they want to plan a wedding for the following New Year's Eve. A one-year engagement is considered by many to offer the perfect amount of time to plan a wedding. An engagement date on Dec. 31 will give you a full year to enjoy your engagement. 

​A New Year's Eve Engagement Makes a Great Story

Who doesn't love a good engagement story? A proposal on New Year's Eve is something that you'll be talking about for the rest of your life. You can even bring up the magical moment during the toast at your wedding. Many couples speak fondly about their New Years engagements when celebrating their weddings at White Horse venue.

​You'll Share an Engagement Date With Tons of People Around the World
