Announcing your engagement can be tricky. Here are important dos and don’ts after you’re engaged to enjoy your wedding planning and have celebratory rather than stressful dys ahead.

Know your fiancé-to-be

If you are about to propose — know your fiancé-to-be. If your fiancé-to-be is an introvert, a romantic atmosphere at home may be the perfect way to pop the question.

But if your beau loves attention, then a restaurant or a park may be the best place to propose.

Give yourselves some downtime

Share some special time between the two of you. It is an exciting time but avoid getting on the phone right away with to announce your engagement. Take time to stop and smell the roses, and savor these special moments.

Prioritize your call list

Decide who you want to call first. You don’t want to offend a loved one who hears your announcement secondhand. To avoid being overwhelmed with calls, you may want to explain to some loved ones to hold off on certain people, and that you would get to them shortly.

Schedule your social posts

Make your social posts after you have told your significant loved ones. Once the post is out on social, there’s no telling who will know, so schedule it when and how you want it said.

Don’t rush

You must be super excited to be engaged to the person you love! But don’t let that excitement cause you to promise anyone anything before you’ve had time to think about the details. Keep the conversation about the engagement, and let the details of the wedding remain vague till you have had time to think them out.

Have professional photographs

Once you have spread the good word, you may get professional engagement photos done to cherish these moments forever. If you are looking for the best florists or event flowers in Stillwater and Twin Cities, MN, check out European Floral or call 651-717-5689.
