Did you just get engaged? Congratulations!

Getting engaged is such a lovely reason to celebrate, especially this year.

We know though that it can be both so exciting and so daunting at the same time. So much to do!

So once you’ve shared your news with your family and friends, posted that extra special pic and finished the champagne what should you do now?

Find out with our 5 top engagement tips:

1.

Insure your beautiful new ring – We’re sorry to start with a boring, admin job but there are honestly such awful horror stories about engagement rings! You won’t be used to wearing it just yet so it is really important to either get it added to your current home insurance or to look into more specific jewellery policies if your home insurance doesn’t seem a very good deal.

2.

Set up a planner and Pinterest Board – Start as you mean to go on! Getting organised from the beginning will pay dividends. Whether you prefer an online or paper planner, your head will be spinning with ideas and well-meaning advice and you do need somewhere to jot them down and save them. Your pinterest Board will be invaluable too to store all those ideas.

3.

Sit down and discuss the ‘big’ decisons – We don’t want to add to the ‘overwhelm’ but there are certain decisions that you need to make as they will shape your next steps. Things like; How soon would you like to get married? Roughly how many people would you like? Do you want to get married in the UK or abroad? Who would you like in the wedding party? And what kind of budget are you thinking of?

4.

Organise an engagement photo shoot  – Before you lose the moment (and the momentum) we’d really encourage you to think about an engagement shoot. In our wedding photography blog all of our photographers recommended an engagement shoot if possible. Not just to commemorate your special milestone, but as a little trial before your big day.

5.

Plan in a year of monthly date nights – You know us. We always like to be honest and we do have to tell you that getting married is as stressful as it is wonderful! Time will run away with itself and you will be so focused on the wedding without having some time out scheduled you might forget why you are getting married in the first place! Here are a few ideas for minimal cost date nights.

We hope this gives you a manageable plan and helps you enjoy and make the most of this extraordinary time in your relationship.

And of course if you make some of those big decisions we have a fabulous range of cost effective save the date cards and ‘Will you be my…’ cards to share your happy news!
