If you are unsure of what to do next, do not worry. We are here to help you with the tasks you should do right after your engagement. Let’s go!
7 Practical Things to Do Right After You are Engaged
1. Soak it in, just the two of you!
We know how tempting it is to share the good news of your engagement with the world. It is hard to stop yourself from screaming it from the rooftop. It is no hard work to spread your good news in the world of social media. However, resist doing that.
Instead, soak it in, just the two of you before saying it aloud to the world. Remember this moment getting love-drunk high. Enjoy the celebratory night with a good dinner, champagne, and dessert. Celebrate the way it makes you happy and show your love to each other.
2. Give engagement news to the closest friends and family.
After you have enjoyed your quality couple time, give the exciting news of your engagement personally to your closest friends and family. It will make them happy to know that you are sharing the good news with them before sharing it on social media. Sit together, and make a list of people who need to know about it before social media.
3. Start thinking about your wedding.
Before you sit and make a wedding planning checklist, start daydreaming about your marriage. Sounds like a piece of weird advice?
Well, you have probably dreamed of your wedding all your life, but there could be some things that have never crossed your mind. Now that your grand moment is nearing, you will have a better understanding of what you want for your wedding day. Wedding style, color palettes, floral arrangements, and decor, think about everything. However, don’t stress too much, as you can always hire wedding planners to help you.
4. Set a wedding budget.
It is necessary to set a budget early in the wedding planning process. We know it is your special day, but you do not want to go overboard with the wedding expenses. Talk to each other and plan your requirements and desires, and decide a mark accordingly. There will be some unexpected and last-minute expenses too, so plan accordingly.
5. Get some photo time.
Do not forget to have fun amidst the rigorous planning. Plan and take photos earlier so that you can incorporate them into your save-the-date cards. Hire a professional wedding and engagement photographer to capture the special moments of your life.
6. Prepare a guest list.
It is also the time to sit together and make a guest list. It is necessary to prepare one about time so that you can book the venue and the caterers.
7. Start shopping for vendors.
Finalize the vendors as soon as possible as the best vendors might get their dates full. If you have hired a wedding planner, ask them for vendor suggestions. They have contacts with vendors and will know better which vendor will be suitable for you. Especially, make sure to find the best wedding videographers and photographers - after all, they will help you capture the most beautiful memories for a lifetime.
