The intense excitement that the two of you would feel during the proposal is amazing but announcing engagements to friends and families would be a whole new level of excitement for the two of you. Yes you could simply go and spill the news to parents and then organize an engagement dinner but wouldn’t it be more fun and memorable for the two of you and for them if you do things differently? Read on to get great ideas on announcing your engagement.

Throw a Party

Send invitations to relatives and friends for a party but don’t tell them the real reason for the celebration. Try hosting the party in line with a popular holiday or perhaps you can cook up a nice and harmless white lie as a reason for the party. When all expected guests are around and everyone is relaxed and are having fun, this would be the perfect time to get their attention make the big revelation. The two of you should not host the party together because even if you tell them a different reason for it, they might still get a hint. You may try to collaborate with one very close person such as a parent or a best friend and remember to hide that engagement ring before you decide to tell everyone!

Do it Online

It’s quite amazing how the World Wide Web can gather and link people all over the globe. Nowadays it’s definitely the perfect and most effective place to publicize anything.

If you want to spread the news real quick then use your social networking site account. Surveys reveal that people log unto their social networking sites for more than 5 times daily! Surely the news would spread so fast in just a matter of minutes! If you were able to capture some, take them back to the proposal night by posting pictures along the announcement.

You may also make personalized e-cards announcing the engagement along pictures of you and e-mail them to friends and relatives. If you want to make it more live, make a personal video of the two of you and come up with a unique video card.

Blogs nowadays are recognized as very powerful means of informing or persuading. Blog about the engagement and attach your pictures. Make sure that you post your blog in a site where relatives and friends could read it. Before you know it, your blog would be flooded with animated comments.

Make it More Personal

Send or mail something to your relatives and friends that will give them the surprise.

Design and personalize a magazine that will feature the two of you on the front cover. Make it appear as if they’re receiving subscription copy from a popular magazine. Imagine the surprise on their faces once they see you on the cover and read the announcement.

You can also send them an object that will somehow give them a hint of the type of wedding ceremony you will have. Supposing you are planning to have a beach wedding, send a pair of white slippers for each guest with an instruction that says “wear this when you come to our wedding day”. The creativity and thrill that this will create will definitely make your announcement one of the most memorable.

These are just examples of the unique ways to reveal your engagement. You may even be inspired enough to think of creative ways on your own. No matter how you announce your engagement, extravagant or not, what matters is that you put much love into it.
