We're Engaged - what to do first!

We're Engaged! What To Do First

We’re Engaged! 💍✨

That magical moment happens… the question is asked… and suddenly you’re engaged! 🎉
It’s exciting, emotional, and completely surreal — and while your first instinct might be to jump straight onto social media, here’s our biggest piece of advice:

Don’t announce your news too early.

Share the News the Right Way

Before the Instagram stories, Facebook status updates, and group chats light up — pause.

This moment is deeply personal, and the people closest to you deserve to hear it from you, not from a screen.

Take the time to share your engagement with your inner circle first — parents, grandparents, siblings, and closest friends.

Whenever possible: • Tell them in person 🤍
• Call or FaceTime if they’re long-distance 🤳🏼 (so they can see the ring!)
• Make it a moment — not just a message

These are the reactions you’ll treasure forever.

Why Waiting Matters

Announcing too soon can unintentionally hurt feelings — especially for family members who hoped to be part of the moment or hear the news directly from you.

By slowing down and sharing intentionally, you: • Honour your relationships
• Create meaningful memories
• Avoid awkward “I found out on Facebook” moments 😅

Trust us — this small pause makes a big difference.

Social Media Comes LAST

Once your nearest and dearest have been told, then it’s time to share the joy with the wider world ✨

When you do: • Change your Facebook relationship status last
• Post your announcement photo or story
• Enjoy the wave of love and congratulations

And after the comments and messages roll in — don’t forget to post a quick thank you to everyone who shared in your excitement 💬🤍

A Gentle Reminder

This is the first of many decisions you’ll make together as an engaged couple.

Start the way you mean to go on — with intention, thoughtfulness, and connection.

Your engagement isn’t a race to post…
It’s a moment to savour.

What’s Next?

Once the celebrations settle, the planning questions will start coming fast — When’s the date? Where will it be? Have you booked anything yet?
