JUST ENGAGED??

WHAT DO YOU DO NOW??

Don’t worry, bestie—I’ve got you! You’re probably already thinking about making a list of every single vendor to contact (or maybe you’ve had one ready since before the proposal!), but have you taken a second to just breathe?

Trust me, everything will fall into place in due time. Here are 10 things you can start with:

Here are the first steps you should take after the big moment:

  • Soak It In: Before diving into wedding planning, take a moment (or a few days!) to enjoy the excitement. Share the news with close family and friends and celebrate together.

  • Announce the News: Decide how and when to announce your engagement. Whether you go for a social media post, a fun photoshoot, or a casual call to friends, make it personal to you!

  • Get Your Ring Insured: Make sure to get your engagement ring insured right away. It’s a sentimental and financial investment worth protecting.

  • Discuss a Vision: Have an initial conversation with your partner about what kind of wedding you both envision—big or small, destination or local, formal or casual. This will help set expectations moving forward.

  • Set a Budget: Work out a general budget for your wedding. This will help guide many of your decisions and avoid any surprises down the road.

  • Create a Guest List: You don’t need a final list yet, but having a rough estimate of your guest count will help with choosing a venue and setting your budget.

  • Consider a Date: Think about a time frame or season for your wedding. This doesn’t have to be set in stone right away, but it’s helpful for planning.

  • Research Venues: Once you have a guest count and date in mind, start researching venues to get an idea of availability and pricing.

  • Start a Wedding Planner: Whether it’s a physical book or an online tool, start organizing your ideas, contacts, and inspiration. It’ll help you stay on track.

  • Celebrate Again: Plan an engagement party or an intimate gathering with loved ones to toast to your future together!

Taking it step by step will keep the process exciting and stress-free. Enjoy every moment!
