The moment you've dreamt about since you were young has arrived. You said “yes!” Now that you're engaged, there are probably a million ideas running through your mind. Before shouting from the rooftops, you'll want to share the special announcement with your parents, family members and best friends. Once you've told the people nearest and dearest to you, the next step is announcing your engagement to the rest of the world. If you're contemplating how to tell everyone else, we've got some ideas that will allow you to express yourself authentically.
Dinner Celebration
If you plan to tell people in person, consider throwing a dinner party. Keep the reason behind the party a secret. Then, when everyone is gathered for dinner, the announcement will come as a wonderful surprise. This news will transform your intimate dinner into a full engagement party celebration.
Phone Call
If you live states away from loved ones, give them a ring. We know it's tempting to send a text because it's quick and easy. However, your relationships certainly have more depth than that. Plus, the ones you cherish will definitely appreciate you taking the time to pick up the phone before you post to your socials. Bonus points, of course, for a video call so you can display your stunning new engagement ring. People will appreciate getting to hear your voice or see your shining face while you tell them the heart-warming news.
Social Media Announcement
Once you’ve told your closest friends and family, it’s time to draft your social media post. While this is perhaps the modern-day equivalent of publishing your announcement in the newspaper, you can make it more personal. Take the time to post a few beautiful candid photos of you and your new fiancé, along with a heartfelt message. Don't forget to show off the ring because everyone likes a bit of bling. At this stage, it’s also time to make it Facebook official! When you update your relationship status to “engaged”, your Facebook friends will be ecstatic they got to witness your journey transform.
Snail Mail
Maybe you’re old-fashioned and enjoy the traditional announcement. If this sounds up your alley, you can create and mail an announcement with your favorite engagement photos. No wedding date picked out yet? No problem. This announcement doesn’t need to include all the details. Keep it short and sweet by letting them know that you’ll share the date once it’s set. This is a memorable and sentimental way of letting people know you're engaged.
