Announcing Your Engagement

Congratulations on your engagement. You have made one of the most significant decisions of your life, now you are ready to announce your commitment to the world.

Making the announcement to your family and friends will be one of the most joyful and happy moments of your life.

It is traditional to tell your parents first followed by family members and friends of your intention to marry. You may also choose to make a general announcement in one of the daily newspapers.

A small engagement party traditionally follows your announcement, although many couples today opt for a small family dinner to mark the occasion.
