Given the fact Valentine\u2019s Day is nearly upon us, there are going to be a few couples that want to announce their engagement; but how do you announce your engagement without clogging up your family and friends\u2019 news feeds?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make it priceless for your parents<\/span><\/p>\n

Both sets of parents might already know that the proposal was on the horizon, but traditionally the mother and the father of the bride should be the first to hear about your happy news. But instead of the teary and excitable call, FaceTime yourselves writing \u2018We\u2019re engaged\u2019 in the sand \u2013 or maybe even the snow (if possible)!<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re not lucky enough to be on holiday, spell it out in chocolates. Whatever you do, make it different \u2013 this is one of the most exciting announcements you\u2019ll ever make.<\/span><\/p>\n

Say it with a surprise<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s time to prepare for screams, excitement and ring admiration from your inner circle of best friends. They might not have had the wonderful Valentine\u2019s Day that you did, but no doubt your girls will be full of delight and excited to start planning your big day.<\/span><\/p>\n

Show your nearest and dearest that you value them by sharing the news in a personal way. Organise a champagne and tea party, and flash your ring as you pop the cork. Witnessing the look of happiness and joy face-to-face will be far more rewarding then receiving an array of emoticons on WhatsApp.<\/span><\/p>\n

Bring out the balloons<\/span><\/p>\n

Balloons mean you have something to celebrate! People put them outside their house for birthday parties and to announce the birth of a baby, but why not bring out the balloons to showcase your engagement? People will soon realise your wonderful news, and you\u2019ll watch the chocolates and flowers pour through your door!<\/span><\/p>\n

Celebrate good times<\/span><\/p>\n

Can you ever get bored of drinking champagne or toasting to your happy future? Hopefully not! What better way to announce your engagement to your wider social network than to throw a party? It\u2019s the perfect way to tell everyone how your fianc\u00e9 got down on one knee! Just watch the delight on their faces as you flash your sparkly rock.<\/span><\/p>\n

Save the date<\/span><\/p>\n

Once you\u2019ve decided on your date, whether it\u2019s\u00a0in three months<\/span><\/span>\u2019 time or three years\u2019 time, get it in your guests\u2019 diaries. Wedding season is a busy affair and you don\u2019t want to lose numbers to someone else\u2019s event. For maximum effect, send a save the date via post so they can shine on everyone\u2019s mantelpieces!<\/span><\/p>\n

The official invite<\/span><\/p>\n
