If your social media feeds have made any indication already, the holiday season also doubles as the most popular engagement season. Running from the Thanksgiving Holiday through Valentine’s Day, there is no better time to plan for the future with the person who you put a ring on it with!
In fact, the Wedding Report’s Complete Wedding Market Report found that just over 15% of all engagements happen in December – nearly 6% higher than any other prime engagement months! Take data from the popular engagement inspo board search engine Pinterest for instance: search terms like “proposal set up ideas,” “engagement party at home,” and “engagement rings” spike during this season.
Engagements can also make for an incredibly happy memory to associate with the season. In an article with Martha Stewart Weddings online, event designer Jacqueline Hallgarth said the reason engagements are ideal during this time is because “[C]ouples are already with their families and closest friends, ready to celebrate” and, better yet, have those important planning conversations.
Let’s be real ladies, an engagement ring really does make the ideal gift. Psychologist and Dr. Sanam Hafeez of NYC’s Comprehend the Mind also shared that the symbolism of
“The holidays truly strike[ ] a chord with future marriers . . . when people begin to take stock of their lives.”
If you’re about to be or are already a part of the 15% getting engaged this December, congratulations! Here are some follow-up questions you may want to have on-hand with your spouse- in addition to that sparkly rock:
Do you want kids? How do you want to manage your finances? Do you want to share property or keep some things (like debt) separate? What about alimony?
Prenuptial agreements can be the best way to bring you and your spouse closer together than ever and ensure a smooth transition into marriage before you say your “I do’s.” Nothing beats designing a customized plan for the future with your spouse to get all the more excited about!
