Frequently Asked Questions

Who should you tell before posting an engagement announcement?

Talk with your partner about who would appreciate hearing the news personally. Close family members and friends are often the first people couples call or message before posting publicly. The right list depends on your relationships.

When should you announce your engagement online?

Post when you and your partner are both comfortable sharing the news and the people you wanted to tell directly have heard it. You can take time to enjoy the moment privately; there’s no required number of days to wait.

Do you need professional photos or a ring photo to announce an engagement?

No. A candid picture, a portrait taken later, or another image you both want to share can work. You can also choose which details of the proposal to keep private.

What if you haven’t chosen a wedding date yet?

You can share your engagement without announcing a date or any other plans. A simple “We haven’t decided yet” is enough if people ask. Enjoy the news before you take on the decisions that follow.
