How to Announce Your Engagement News - Creative Cute & Fun Ideas

So your proposal has taken place, but how do you share your exciting news? There are so many fantastic ways, both modern and classic to share your news with your family and friends. There are no rules when it comes to sharing your engagement, so do so when you are ready and when it feels right.

When it comes to sharing your engagement news, it’s a good idea to consider your different relationships carefully. Perhaps family and friends from older generations would prefer a more traditional face-to-face announcement. While acquaintances would find a fun Instagram announcement really exciting. Do be careful not to blanket share with everyone, especially those closest to you.

Your tight circle of family and friends may prefer a more personal announcement from you. But ultimately, you know your relationships and the ball really is in your court. Just be sure to stay authentic to you as a couple. When my husband and I got engaged we told our immediate family and friends, either in person or via a phone call. Then when we were home from our holiday, we announced our news on Facebook.

It worked out well for us and I think we, as well as our loved ones, were happy with our engagement news.

You don’t necessarily need to share your whole proposal story in your announcement. But a hint towards it is a lovely way to start. Fill everyone in (or perhaps those who ask) on all the romantic details when you next get to meet up. A really long engagement announcement with all the finer points may be too much to digest for your family and friends.

Keep it short and sweet, to begin with and I am sure you’ll be bombarded with more detailed requests from those who wish to revel in your romantic moment. If your proposal wasn’t opulent or extravagant, don’t worry. Every proposal story is important, it’s about the decision you’ve made together, rather than roses and candlelight. That’s what will excite and delight your loved ones.

If you are able to hold off for long enough sharing your engagement news in person is a really lovely option. Not only do you get to see your family’s reaction but you get to have hugs, handshakes and kisses all around. Try to make sure you keep things consistent. For example, if you share the news with one set of parents in person, try to do the same for your other set of parents too.

As well as thinking about timescales, try to do them in quick succession so no one feels like they have waited for longer than anyone else. You’re never going to please everyone, but if you handle your announcement sensitively the excitement levels are likely to be higher. Woohoo!

There are so many lovely and fun places to share your engagement news. Here are some location ideas on how to share your news in person. – At a party at your house – Arrange a picnic gathering – Go for a walk – On holiday – Have a surprise engagement party to share the news – Book a meal – Go for drinks – Have afternoon tea – At a day out

There really is no right or wrong way to word your engagement announcement. Simply speak from the heart and be honest. After the flurry of excitement, you can share your proposal story and begin discussing your thoughts on your wedding plans.

It’s incredibly common to announce your engagement via phone. That could be through a phone call, Facetime, text message or Whatsapp using video, voice note, photo or text to share the news.

Sharing your engagement announcement in a phone call is the next best thing from sharing your news in person. It will be so gratefully received by those closest to you and they will feel really special to be closely involved. You could do an audio call, or for an extra dose of fun and personality, a video call is a lovely way to announce your engagement.

When it comes to sharing your news via a phone message there are a few options. A traditional text message is a nice way to share the news individually. You could copy/paste the same announcement to each of your friends but send them individual messages. That keeps your conversation private and personal. Alternatively, you could set up a group on Whatsapp to message everyone in one go.

This may cause a real buzz of excitement, but by wary. Not everyone is on Whatsapp or will appreciate being added to a group, especially if they don’t know others in the group or prefer not to get lots of alerts. A good way of going about this is to message your individual group chats, so if you have a friends chat, or a work chat you could pop your news in there.

– Share a photo of your ring (if you have one) – Share a selfie from the proposal – Write a cute poem – Do a ‘guess what we have to share‘ message – Rope in your pets or kids – Do a voice note with you both sharing the news in unison

Finally, you may wish to share your news online. Perhaps you would like to announce your engagement to everyone online, or perhaps this is more for acquaintances, old friends or extended family?

Announcing your engagement via email may be a great option for telling your work colleagues (if your company rules’ allow). Keep it simple and you could add a single photo of you together too.

If you are an Instagram fan, you may be eager to share that ring selfie or proposal shot pretty quickly. Do try and hold off though until you’ve told those closest to you first. There are a few things to consider to create the perfect Instagram engagement announcement: – Think about the photo you will use. Do you wish your faces or ring to be in the image, or would you like it to be less public?

– What about your caption, will you keep your followers guessing and share the news in titbits or share all in one go? – How about hashtags? Do you want to create your own to begin the pre-wed process or a more public hashtag for strangers to discover your post? – You could add a location tag too if you’d like to find your post in the discovery section. – Add a story, sharing your post if your family and friends don’t scroll their feeds often.

Facebook has a fun feature we all know about, the relationship status. It’s an exciting moment updating your status from in a relationship, to engaged. That is of course if you chose to make this a part of your profile. If you do this, you can choose for your feed to be alerted without needing to write a post. Or turn off ‘show in news feed’ if you are looking to create a special post.

As with the advice for Instagram above, there are a few things to consider when sharing your news on Facebook. You may wish to only share with particular groups of friends, which you can do, or keep it set to private. Sharing a photo is a lovely, visual, eye-catching way to share your news. But don’t forget about your words too. Sharing a short video may add a sense of excitement. How about a video of the proposal or you sharing news with your loved ones?

If you are lacking on the image side of things for your announcement. You could think about having your engagement shoot first so that you have some lovely images of you both to share. You could even go old school and do a postal engagement announcement with your new shots. Having an engagement shoot is also a lovely way to enjoy this special moment and really mark this milestone. Especially if you are planning on having a long engagement.

Here are some more fun, cute and exciting ideas to announce your news: – Create a sign and take a photo of it to share – Get a personalised prop – Get t-shirts printed – Have matching tattoos – Balloons fun – Involve your hobbies/interests – Champagne/Coffee/Gin – in fact, any drinks you love
