Celebrate and Enjoy the Moment
Before diving into wedding planning, take some time to celebrate with your partner. Savor the excitement and cherish this special moment, as it marks an important milestone. Consider having a quiet dinner together or hosting a small gathering with close family and friends. Enjoy the love and anticipation that come with this new chapter in your lives.
Announce Your Engagement
After soaking in the initial joy, it’s time to share your engagement news. Start by informing your closest friends and family. Once your inner circle knows, you can announce it on social media to spread your happiness to a broader audience.

It’s helpful to have a few potential dates in mind and remain flexible, especially if you’re considering popular venues or vendors. Once you’ve settled on a date or timeframe, you can move forward with more detailed planning.
