6 Creative Ways To Announce Your Engagement

Congratulations on your engagement! What an exciting time! I’m sure you’re already so thrilled to announce your engagement to your family and friends. Who wouldn’t be exhilarated with this big news? Since this is an important milestone in a couple’s life, you want to announce your engagement as creatively as possible. If you are running out of ideas, here are some creative ways to announce your engagement:

Show off your ring.

One of the easiest ways to announce your engagement is by simply posting a photo of your engagement ring. This won’t need further explanation. The photo will speak for itself. To add a little creativity, find a good background like your engagement destination. Most couples get engaged in a beautiful location or in a romantic set up. So using it as a background can add to the beauty of your image.

If you want to be witty, you can experiment on some elements to be included in your photo like adding “Mrs.” to your personalized items. This will provide a subtle hint that you will be a future Mrs.

Share your story.

What’s a greater way to share this special news to your family and friends than sharing your very own story? To get you started, you can showcase elements of your engagement proposal in a photo. If you think a single photo isn’t enough, you can curate a series of photos to help you tell your story more comprehensively. You can even include old photos and share your journey as a couple by adding a caption for each photo.

In the caption, you can expound and narrate your love story. You can also use it to thank anyone who has become part of your story and helped make your engagement a success.

Share candid moments.  

Your engagement proposal is one of the remarkable moments in your life that needs to be captured in a photo. When you are able to capture the moment, you get a genuine reaction and are also able to immortalize the moment. Sharing these candid moments can make your engagement announcement more heartwarming. Hire a photographer or get someone to take the photo once the groom-to-be pops the question to his bride-to-be.

Create a personalized hashtag.

Since we are in the digital age, why not create a personalized hashtag for your wedding? You can use this hashtag on your engagement announcement and apply it to all of your engagement and wedding-related posts moving forward. This will help you organize your content. Also, you can request your family, friends, and other guests to use your hashtag when posting photos about your engagement and wedding. This will make it easier for you to look for your photos online.

Aside from personalized hashtags, you can add engagement-related hashtags to your announcement like #SheSaidYes, #HeProposed, #GettingMarried, or #Engaged. Feel free to be creative when crafting hashtags.

Throw an engagement party.

If you want to be more extra, you can throw an engagement party! This is one of the easiest ways to include your family and friends in the celebration. Invite them for a small gathering and make the special announcement over some good food and wine. Your family and friends will definitely appreciate your gesture of wanting to share the moment with them.

Send out announcement cards.

I’m sure you’ve got good photos from your engagement. Why don’t you print them out and send it to your family and friends as your engagement announcement card? Make them a part of your engagement celebration by sharing with them a photo of your special moment.
