This is not only the season of giving but it is also the season of love! A lot of proposals happen during the holidays and it is so romantic. However it can also be tragic, we see it all over social media. Here are some things to avoid if you want to propose this holiday season.

1. Do it in public (if the person is private)

2. Do it more for social media photos than personal memories.

3. Do it in front of family that isn’t theirs, yet.

4. Do it amidst holiday stress.

5. Not thinking about the costs of a ring or wedding.

6. Buy a ring without input from the bride

7. Ask a question you don’t know the answer to!!!!

Avoid the humiliations of being featured in a Youtube compilation like the one below.
