When you first get engaged everything feels like it\u2019s happening so fast. From the moment you say \u2018yes!\u2019 there is a flurry of activity that doesn\u2019t seem to stop until you both say \u2018I do.\u2019 Once engaged, there are a few things you should do right after that will ultimately set you up for success during the rest of the wedding planning!\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Step 1\u2013 Tell the Important People: <\/b>
\n<\/b>There is nothing worse than hearing about your best friend\u2019s engagement through Facebook. In the age of social media, it can be tempting to post everything in real-time, but we suggest taking a minute to tell the really important people in person so that they don\u2019t feel blindsided by seeing your happy news on their insta feed. Make a list of the VIPs and make sure everyone is radio silent until that list is complete \u2013 think parents, siblings, besties, and important family members. <\/span><\/p>\n

Step 2\u2013 Insure your Ring:<\/b>
\n<\/b>Okay, this one is kind of boring, but it\u2019s important! Make sure you insure your ring so that if anything happens to it (knock on wood) you don\u2019t have to worry about replacing it at cost! Many jewelers will offer a care plan that covers cleaning, as well as wear and tear but you should also look into replacement insurance in case the piece is lost or stolen. <\/span><\/p>\n

Step 3\u2013 Celebrate just the Two of You:<\/b>
\n<\/b>Before you start telling people, take a beat and celebrate just the two of you. If the proposal was public, grab a bottle of bubbles and spend some quality time with just each other before you tell the world. <\/span>\u00a0<\/b><\/b><\/p>\n

Step 4\u2013 Grab your Friends:<\/b>
\n<\/b>You probably already have an idea of who your bridal party will be, so gather them to celebrate as well! You don\u2019t have to solidify any plans yet, but having your close friends celebrate with you will help your engagement continue to feel special.<\/span><\/p>\n
