Here are some of the first things to do after a marriage proposal.

 

If you’ve recently got engaged, you may be wondering what you should do next. First of all, congratulations! This is such an exciting time and we’re here to help once you’re ready to start looking at venues. Many people don’t know what their next steps should be after getting engaged, so let’s get started and go over some of the most important things to consider after a proposal.

Getting Engaged

Getting engaged can be exciting and magical, but it can also bring up a lot of questions. If you’re not sure what you should do first after getting engaged, then you’ve come to the right place!

Share the News

One of the first things that you’ll need to do is share the news of your proposal with your friends and family! Some people prefer to go straight to social media, while others will make personalized phone calls to the people that they’re closest to. Regardless of the method that you choose, make sure you and your partner are on the same page so that everything is cohesive.

Insure the Ring 

Now that you’ve told everyone the wonderful news, it’s time to do some admin work. One of the first things you should do is insure your engagement rings. There are so many different things that can happen to rings and you don’t want to have to worry about your ring, so getting a policy for it is the best option.

Pick a Date

Choosing a date is a great first step when it comes to wedding planning. Even if you don’t have a specific day picked out, it can still be helpful to have a general idea of when you’d like your big day to be.

 

When it comes to picking the date of your wedding, one of the most important things to think about is giving yourself enough time to figure out all the details. We recommend picking a date that’s at least a year in advance, as this will give you enough time to find a venue, pick out a dress, and get alterations.

Pick a Budget

Another important thing to do early on in the wedding planning process is putting together your budget. Having a budget in mind can be extremely helpful and give you something to refer back to, so sit down with your partner and see if there’s a number that you can agree on. If there are other people who are going to be helping to pay for your wedding, then you can include them in the conversation as well.

Remember to Have Fun

One of the most important things to remember about the wedding planning process is that it should be fun. While it can be stressful at times, it’s important to take it one step at a time and find ways to take care of yourself during the process.
