We're Engaged!

Finally the big question has been asked, now how should you announce your engagement to your family and friends. Lately the trend has been to announce engagements through Facebook and/or Twitter; its quick, it’s easy, and straight to the point. We’ve all seen the relationship status changes and the congratulatory comments by others in our news feed, but if you’re anything like me you’re probably wondering, why am I finding out this way? Have we gotten so impersonal that we now use technology to share one of the best moments in our lives? Yes, this is a simple way to make your announcement, but it tends to dull down this exciting moment. Listed below is a list of creative ways to share your wonderful news with a more personal touch!

• Place an ad in the local newspaper
• Host a party or dinner to make your big announcement
• Create a video announcement
• Create a postcard with a photo of the two of you and simply say….We’re Engaged!
• Announce it at the next holiday or family gathering with a personalized bottle of wine announcing your engagement

  

Whichever way you decide to announce your special day, have fun with it, and make sure the announcements reflects the two of you!
