He already gave you the ring, you already said yes. Whats Next? Announce the engagement, of course. But before the emotion obfuscates you and hurts your sensibilities, read this article to know the steps to follow.
Before you change your Facebook status or announce to your thousands of Twitter followers that you’re no longer a single woman, be sure to let your parents know. Although in many cases they already know, nothing will be more gratifying than hearing the news directly from you.
“Dad, mom, I have something to tell you…”
Tradition dictates that the bride’s parents should be the first to know of the engagement. Now, if they want to follow the most classic protocol, the groom should ask the father for the bride’s hand. This can be at her house or at a restaurant dinner. At the end of the dinner, they can make a toast to make the engagement official. Then they will have to notify the groom’s parents, and if they consider it necessary, organize a dinner so that both families know each other or live together before the wedding.
To notify your friends they can make a informal meeting, but beware! Do not invite anyone you have not planned for the wedding. Once this is done, they can announce their commitment as they please: on social networks, at work, in the newspaper…
And what about my ex?
If you have an ex with whom you lasted several years and you maintain a good relationship with him, it would be fair to you will tell him that you will get married. Finally, it was someone important in your life and deserves a bit of attention in that regard. Don’t you think?
