10 Things To Do When You Get Engaged

Modern Wedding Posted: January 2, 2021

So, you're officially off the market. Congratulations! With all the buzz and excitement when you get engaged, it can be easy to get a little caught up in it all. We've mapped out a simple list of 10 things to do when your partner finally pops the question to really make the most of the moment. From practical to personal, we've got you covered for the most stress-free and full of love engagement story every soon-to-be bride wishes for!

Take A Moment…

Savour how special this moment is by taking some time to yourselves before the big new is spread to your friends, family, and followers. This is the next step to plan your lives together, and of course, now plan your wedding! Before the wild ride ahead of you, it's important to just appreciate each other without distraction or intrusion.

Nearest And Dearest…

Family comes first always, and especially when sharing the news of your engagement. The people who have been alongside you on this love story will be the most excited and most appreciative of finding out before it hits the Instagram feed. Give family and friends a call or use a few happy snaps and silly selfies with your new fiancé as the perfect way to surprise those you're closest to. To be sure, ask yourself if the person would feel left out if they found out from social media and share it accordingly.

Tell The World…

Once your closest know the exciting news, then every social media platform your heart desire can too. Get creative with message boards and fun poses to make that ring shine in all its glory. These pictures are the ones worth more than a thousand words, and absolutely everyone will want to see them.

Treat Your Ring Right…

As much as you don't want to part with it, it is super important to make sure it has the correct insurance and is the right size for your finger. An ill-fitting ring runs the risk of falling or getting pulled off. This ring is a symbol of your loved-up life together, and after the effort your fiancé has gone to picking out the perfect one, having it insured it will certainly pay off in the long run.

Embrace The Atmosphere…

There seriously is no better time to celebrate than now! We're guessing you've been talking about exactly how this moment would go down with your friends for a while now. So, why not bask in it with them? Get the girls together for drinks and lunch or organise a couples game night to share all the details you'll surely be dying to spill.

Get Searching, Get Inspired…

The options for planning a wedding truly are endless, so take a breather and enjoy just being inspired. Start by saving images, making a vision board from magazines or creating a Pinterest board for ideas rather than mapping any specifics out just yet. It's also a perfect time to research wedding planner books to keep you organised with all the fun to come.

Via Samantha Burke Events

Plan The Party…

Kick off the wedding festivities with a more formalised engagement party which will really set the tone for the wedding to come. Plus, it's the perfect opportunity to gather your favourite people for a day of pure fun. Find a fun venue and pick out some decor to get yourself in that planning mood, or keep it low-key and decorate your home with some balloons and tables of treats. Or use it as a surprise for your friends and announce the news to them here!

Via Belle Balloons

Capture The Feeling…

Commemorate this super special event in your lives with a playful and romantic photoshoot. Head to where he proposed, where you had your first date or somewhere exotic to snap up a few "candid" memories. Whether professional or not, engagement photos will be ones you truly treasure forever.

Via Kind Honey Photography

Hey Fiancé…

With all the buzz of engagement, it is the perfect time to start discussing the broader ideas for the day. Setting expectations and openly communicating on guest lists, budgets and themes will form the smoothest path from fiancés to newlyweds. Plus, having time to consider and explore the incredible array of possibilities together will pay off massively for your stress levels.

When You Get Engaged

Via Kelsey Booth

Breathe…

When you get engaged, spending a lot of time celebrating with other people is totally inevitable. So, don't forget to clear some time for yourself too. Take a bath, get a manicure or treat yourself to a facial for the proper indulgence you deserve. All the festivities can get overwhelming so remember to care for yourself first. After all, the spotlight is on you right now so you may as well make the absolute most of it.
