Pull off your dream nuptials without a hitch.
 
A wedding seems to pass in the blink of an eye, but planning the big day takes months—even years. Make your nuptials an affair to remember by vowing to:
  • Create a to-do list of all the little details and stick to your timeline
  • Stay on budget with your caterer, florist, photographer, and ideal venue
  • Make a guest list without making enemies

How to Announce Your Engagement

The first step after getting engaged is to let people know the good news. There are several ways to spread the word:
  • Call people: In the hours and days after your engagement, call family and friends to tell them the news. A good order to follow is parents first, followed by siblings, close relatives, and friends. Tell only those people whom you plan to invite to the wedding.
  • Engagement announcements: Depending on your preference and local customs, you might want to announce your engagement in your local newspaper. Contact the paper to confirm its requirements.

Engagement Parties

An engagement party may range from an intimate dinner with close friends and family to a big, expensive party. Most engagement parties are usually:
  • Informal events held at someone’s home
  • Hosted by the engaged couple, the bride’s or groom’s parents, or by close family friends
  • Not a time for gift giving, although this varies by region
Everyone invited to your engagement party should also be invited to your wedding.
