Congratulations on your engagement! Now it’s time to share the happy news. You can have fun with the announcement by getting creative. Try any of the fun ways below to tell everyone that a wedding is coming.

How to Announce an Engagement

1. Send a Card

Once you’ve chosen a date for your wedding, you can send out a save-the-date card to all your friends and family. It’ll be a fun surprise for friends and family to receive this news in the mail. It’s up to you whether or not you want to include an engagement photo, but if you’re using it as an announcement, you should include when the proposal happened in addition to the date and location of your nuptial. It is the perfect opportunity to share your news while making sure you get on everyone’s calendar and get everyone there for your wedding.

2. Throw a Party

Typically, an engagement party is thrown by friends or family members who are celebrating the couple. Do it your own way—and create a unique moment for your loved ones—by throwing a surprise engagement party. Plan a party and invite all the closest family and friends that you want to tell in person. It will be a fun surprise, and you won’t worry about anyone hearing the news before you’ve had a chance to tell them yourself.

3. Share on Social Media

After you’ve told your closest friends and family, an easy and fun way to get the word out is with a social media post. Post a photo featuring both of you and the ring. You can either make it obvious with a caption about your engagement or just wait to see if people notice the ring.

Now that you’ve shared the news, it’s time to start planning the big day. Makoy Center is the premier event venue in Hilliard, OH, and throughout Franklin County. This gorgeous event space boasts 30,000 square feet that can fit up to 400 guests in their largest ballroom, and they have smaller spaces available for a more intimate wedding reception.
