Announcing Your Engagement
The personal part of the engagement is when one or both of you decide
that now is the time get down on one knee, and/or go out to a special/favorite
restaurant for just the two of you (at home is also special). With that life changing step of the
engagement out of the way the next step is announcing it to the family and
friends. One very popular time to
announce engagements to the family is when the family naturally comes together. Very commonly Thanksgiving Day is the time
when college students come home from college or otherwise gather for the family
celebration. The trick might well be to
enjoy the meal and then surprise everyone with the announcement just before
dessert.
The people sitting around the table will share your happiness because after
all they are the ones that watch you grow up, and your romance develop and eventually
fall in love to the point of reaching the announcing of the engagement. Now your loved ones will watch the two of you
say “I do”, and they need to be the first to know. Your announcement needs to be personal with
the family and before you make a status change on Facebook.
There are so many things that will need to be worked out, from setting the
date, to acquiring the venue for the reception, selecting a hotel for your out
of town guests, the dress, the tuxedos, the cake, the caterer, the flowers, the
photographer, the minister, deciding on hiring a band, or a DJ service, most importantly
selecting the bridesmaids, and groomsmen.
Make sure that the date you settle on is one that your wedding party can
be available for. You don’t have to
consider their availability, but it would be extremely considerate of you if
you did. You might also want to check
and see if grandpa and grandma will be available to travel on your chosen date.
