What To Do After Getting Engaged
Your wedding planning begins from the moment you say
"yes" to your man's marriage proposal.
There are some things that should
definitely make the list of the first things to do after getting engaged.
It is such a busy and exciting time that important things
can sometimes get lost in the shuffle.
This list of the first things to do after getting engaged
will help to keep you on track. They will help you get your wedding season off
to a wonderful and organized start.
1. MAKE THE ANNOUNCEMENT: One of the first things to do after getting engaged is to
make the announcement. You are excited and happy and you want to let others
share in that excitement and joy. There are a lot of different ways you can do
this. You can do a big announcement at a party or tell people individually. You
can also put an announcement in the local paper or do something creative to
spread the news.
2. SET A DATE: You need to set a
date after you become engaged. Even if you don’t want to pin it down to a
numerical date on the calendar yet, you should start thinking about what month
you may prefer. At least pin it down to a season. You can’t really start a lot
of your planning until you have a time frame to work with. It will affect many
different things from what clothing choices you make for everyone in your
wedding party to location and more.
3. CHOOSE YOUR WEDDING PARTY: Another one of the first things you need to do is choose
your wedding party. You need to consider who you want for each attendant. This
is a big decision. You also need to consider how many attendants that you want
to have. After you make that decision, you will be able to start thinking about
what you would like your attendants to wear.
4. DECIDE ON A BUDGET: Before you can really begin a lot of your planning you need
to decide on a wedding budget. Do you want a big wedding with all the bells and
whistles or a smaller affair with just your closest friends and family? What
can you really afford? Those are questions you need to consider before you
start moving into the actual planning phase. Another good step is to not only
set an overall budget but to decide on how much of your budget to allocate to
each category of the wedding.
5. START PINTERESTING: If you haven’t already, it is time to start Pinteresting. Pinterest
is a wonderful website that is great to help you with many areas of your life,
but it is especially good for helping you with wedding planning. There is a
wealth of information and creative ideas at your fingertips. Additionally, it
is a lot of fun and will really get you excited for your wedding.
6. INSURE YOUR RINGS: This is a step that sometimes slips past you in all of the
excitement of getting engaged but it is an important one to take care of. You
need to insure your rings. You also need to make a habit of having your ring
inspected regularly. It is best to write yourself a reminder on your calendar
for however often your jewelry store recommends that you have that done. Doing
this makes you far less likely to encounter problems down the road with your
rings.
7. DREAM TOGETHER: Half of the fun of the wedding is putting it together. Take
time to enjoy talking about it and dreaming about it. Share what you want with
your partner and be sure to ask about what they want too. This is the first
step into your future together as a couple. It should be a fun and exciting
time for you as a couple.
These are 7 of the first steps you should take after getting
engaged.
