5 IDEAS FOR ANNOUNCING YOUR ENGAGEMENT TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY

Announcing your engagement not only marks the beginning of a new chapter, but also creates unforgettable memories with those you love most. Whether with a fun, elegant, or totally unexpected touch, there are many creative ways to do it. Here we share five original ideas for announcing the news.

Engagement party

An engagement party is the perfect excuse to share the big news with your loved ones. Imagine gathering everyone together under any pretext, while little by little the decorations, romantic music, and a few thematic touches reveal what you're truly celebrating. At the end, a toast and a few heartfelt words will seal the moment. Don't forget the tissues!

Photoshoot

You can choose a special place, like the place you met or an Instagrammable spot in your city, and let the images speak for themselves. If you prefer something more subtle, a photo on social media showing off the ring or a small sign with the date is enough to share the excitement. Plus, these photos will not only be a lovely keepsake, but you can also use them on your invitations or in the official wedding announcement.

A creative video

If the proposal was secretly recorded, turn that video into a short, heartwarming clip. Ask the person who filmed it to edit the best moments, or do it yourself. Sharing it will allow your loved ones to feel part of the proposal without invading the intimacy of the proposal. Another idea is to create a video compiling the most special moments of your relationship, from the first dates to the "I do," choosing only what you want to show.

With your pet

If you're an animal lover, including your pet in the announcement will be a sure hit. You can dress him or her up in wedding attire and hang a fun sign like "My humans are finally getting married." It's an original and adorable way to share the news.

Send a calendar

Want to make sure no one misses your big day? Send a personalized calendar with the wedding month and a striking marker on the chosen date. You can add a fun note like "Save this day to celebrate with us!" And, if you want to make it even more special, include a photo of the proposal. That way, everyone will have a reminder at hand.
