Recently engaged? Congratulations! Now it’s time to spread the word to your family and friends and show off that engagement ring. If you need ideas for letting those closest to you know the big news, here are four ideas.  

Share the news on social media  

Post your engagement announcement in your feed! Include a picture with your story. Instagram is the most popular platform to use, Whether you’re posting on Instagram, Facebook, or a different platform, we recommend keeping your post short and sweet. Now, sit back and watch the congratulatory likes and comments roll in!

Throw a party

Your family members or friends may want to throw you an engagement party to officially announce and celebrate your engagement. This is a great way to get your two families together in a happy setting. Engagement parties tend to be casual events, but can be intimate or huge. 

Create a wedding website

You don't want to share every detail of your proposal on social media, but you can go all out on your wedding website. It's a great space to share your entire proposal story with your family members and friends. Even if you don’t have many wedding details set quite yet, it’s a good idea to start working on your wedding website as a placeholder. Later, you can add date, time, location, travel information, and much more. Just be sure to only share your wedding website address with those who are actually invited to the wedding.

Plan an engagement photo shoot

​This is a fun and creative way to announce your engagement with photography. Many couples nowadays hire a professional photographer to capture their proposal. If you didn’t, you may want to schedule your engagement photo shoot for early on in your engagement, rather than waiting until a few months before your big day.  You can use your engagement photos to create printed engagement announcements or to use on your wedding website. 

After you announce your engagement, wedding planning is next! Have fun and enjoy every moment!
