You’re engaged! Congratulations!! Though all of the excitement, love, and anticipation can leave you reeling, it is natural for some nerves, stress, and anxiety to creep in. Eventually, you’re left thinking “what’s next”? But, there is no need to worry because Bridal Bash has you covered. Follow these 5 post-engagement steps and set yourself up to have the wedding of your dreams!
- Tell your family and friends – first!
Before you shout it from the rooftops, it’s important to call your family and tell them first. Loved ones do not want to find out about your engagement from someone else or from a social media post. Enjoy the exciting and emotional conversations with family and friends during this time!
- Get your ring sized and insured
It’s always smart to make sure your ring fits perfectly. The stress of having a ring that might slip off your finger is not sustainable. Additionally, the piece of mind that comes with insuring your engagement ring is well worth it. Head back to the jeweler to check both of these to-dos off your list!
- Prioritize
During the preliminary stages of wedding planning, it’s a good idea to start prioritizing what is going to be important to you and your unique fairytale. Do some research and browse around so that when it comes time to actually start planning, you know what’s important to you!
- Create a timeline
Though you cannot actually set a wedding date until other major decisions are determined, solidifying a range of dates is a great place to start. Think about how much time you’ll need to plan, the time of year you want to get married, and any other dates you need to avoid or work around. Plus, this step gives you an answer for all of the people bound to start asking when the wedding is!
- Set a Budget
Before you can book a venue, buy a wedding dress, or choose a band, you need to know what your budget is. Though having these conversations with both parties’ families can be uncomfortable, it is essential to lay the foundation for all of the planning and decisions ahead. Once you’ve determined a budget, it’s full speed ahead with all things wedding planning. Enjoy newly-engaged lovers!
