Well, it’s finally happened. After what seemed like an eternity of dropped hints, false starts and your heart jumping into your throat when your beau dropped down to tie their shoes, you’ve finally gotten engaged. You’ve just enjoyed a beautiful moment. A solemn and loving declaration of your SO’s desire to spend the rest of their life with you. But like all the best things in life, wonderful moments like this were made to be shared.

While your first priority will likely be to call both sets of parents to tell them the good news, there still remains the issue of telling everyone else in your social circle. Especially those wonderful chosen few who will be a part of your celebrations. But how to break such wonderful news to your nearest and dearest? We totally understand that simply posting on social media may not seem like a big enough way to celebrate your announcement. And while some may want to throw an extravagant engagement party, this might not be for everyone. So, we’ve come up with some fun, creative ways to announce your impending nuptials…
Say it with chocolate!
“I’m just not a big fan of chocolate”… said nobody ever! Well, Wreck It Ralph said it, but he’s a fictional character from a Pixar movie. What better way to announce your engagement than with a customized candy bar wrapper encasing a delicious bar of your favorite chocolate? Custom candy bars are a fun (and delicious) way to Announce It! And with prices starting at as little as 8 cents each, you can give them out in person, post them in the mail and help yourself to one or two while you’re at it.
Make a splash by the beach
The beach is one of the most popular places to propose. And a wonderfully romantic way to turn a vacation into an even more special lifelong memory. So, why not make the beach part of your big announcement? Write a message in the sand and take a picture of it for all to see. It’ll help to keep the memory of your proposal even fresher in your mind, while also being a beautiful visual to share with the people you love.
DIY cards
If you’re of a crafty disposition (and love to lend the personal touch to your announcement), why not try making your own DIY cards spreading the good news? Everyone loves getting stuff in the post (that’s not a bill) and a DIY card (in advance of save the date cards) can be a great memento of your engagement that your friends can treasure.
Get your pets in on the action
Finally, there’s nothing that human beings can say that isn’t improved by saying it with pets. SO, why not get your fur babies in on the act? Balance your engagement ring on the dog’s snout, between the cat’s paws or on your guinea pig’s back. It’s a sweet and endearing way to spread the joy and make your announcement even more memorable.
