Congratulations! You’re engaged!
Now What?
You’re engaged, and the whirlwind of wedding planning awaits you. This time in your life is undoubtedly filled with excitement, joy, and maybe a touch of overwhelm as you embark on this new chapter. To help you navigate the journey ahead with grace and ease, here’s where you should begin.
Take a moment to soak in the joy of your engagement. Whether it’s an intimate dinner with your partner or a celebratory gathering with loved ones, cherish this special time. Reflect on your journey together and the beautiful commitment you’re about to make. Allow yourself to bask in the glow of love and excitement before diving into the details of wedding planning.
Celebrate the Moment
Communicate to Family First
Before announcing your engagement on social media, ensure that your family and closest loved ones are the first to know. This thoughtful gesture will make them feel valued and appreciated, setting a tone of intimacy and inclusivity from the start of your wedding journey.
Prioritize protecting the symbol of your love by insuring your engagement ring. Accidents happen, and having insurance will provide you with peace of mind knowing that your precious ring is safeguarded against unforeseen circumstances.
Insure Your Ring
Throw an Engagement Party
Celebrate this milestone with an engagement party, whether it’s an intimate gathering with close friends or a larger celebration with extended family. It’s an excellent opportunity to share the excitement of your engagement and kick off the wedding festivities in style.
You will be asked over and over, “When’s the wedding?” Give yourself enough time to plan the details and not stress over limited time to make decisions. Before diving into the endless sea of wedding inspiration, take some time to define your vision for the big day. Sit down with your partner and discuss your priorities, preferences, and overall vision for the wedding. Consider factors such as budget, style, and guest count. Having a clear vision from the outset will streamline the planning process and ensure that your wedding reflects your unique personalities and values.
Start Discussing a Time Frame and Define Your Vision
Create a Total Wedding Budget
Establishing a realistic budget is crucial early on in the planning process. Sit down with your partner and any relevant family members to determine a budget that aligns with your financial situation. Be transparent about your priorities and non-negotiables. If you choose to go with one of our Complete Wedding Packages remember to factor in all expenses including your wedding gown, gifts, and groom’s attire.
If you plan to go with our RENTAL ONLY plan remember that planning a wedding can be overwhelming, so don’t hesitate to delegate tasks to trusted friends and family members. Enlist the help of your inner circle to lighten the load. Consider creating a wedding planning checklist and assigning specific tasks to different individuals to ensure that everything gets done efficiently. Communicate openly with wedding vendors to ensure that everyone is on the same page and working towards a shared vision. Keep photos on your smart phone – dresses you like, flowers, and any other details that inspire you.
Connect with Wedding Professionals & Delegate Responsibilities

Whether it’s a yoga class, a spa day, or simply curling up with a good book, make self-care a priority to alleviate stress and maintain a sense of balance throughout the planning process.
