Yay... Congratulations you're getting married! You're about to embark on two amazing adventures - the first, of course is the overwhelming process of planning a wedding and the second being your life as a wedded couple. We understnad the second is very exciting, but you must first cross the "hurdle of planning your wedding. A wedding will probably be the biggest and most involved party or ritual either of you have ever put together. Before you get overwhelmed, take a deep breath, then do these five things.
#Enjoy being engaged
Kiss each other a thousand times. Jump up and down saying "We're engaged!" ..lol, ok now that’s a bit over the top yeah, anyways just do what makes it worthwhile. Stare at the engagement ring. Take the time to write down in detail how you got engaged. Contemplate the wonderful things ahead of you. Take pictures of yourselves with the engagement ring. Kiss each other a thousand more times.

Tell your parents
You should tell your parents of your impending nuptials before anyone else. (Unless of course, you are estranged.) Both of you should be present and ideally you will tell them in person - they'll have a chance to see your happiness up close, look at the rock, and start talking about the wedding. Traditionally the bride's parents know before the groom's do, but any order is really fine. Then share the news with a few close friends - the ones who are likely candidates for maid/matron of honor and best man, or definite attendants in some capacity.

Purchase a journal/diary if you don't already have one
This will be a time of ten thousand moments you won't want to forget, as well as some frustrating times that you'll need to vent about, and not necessarily to your partner. The journal you keep while planning your wedding will not only help you through this time, but it will be something you cherish for the rest of your life. If you're internet savvy kinds of folks, you may also consider doing this journaling online at a site such as livejournal or our ‘Dear diary’.
- Announcing your engagement via social networks
- Mailing announcements to your family and friends
- Create a wedding website
-
Announce Your Engagement (to whom it may concern)
Tell everyone the good news! There are many ways of doing this, and no way is more correct or better than another.
-
Set the Date
One of the most important decisions you will make as you plan your wedding. Not only will it be the first question everyone will ask you, but you'd be surprised how difficult it will be to make any progress on planning your wedding without knowing the date.
-
Start saving
We want you to have the best wedding you possibly can without spending more than you can afford. To get the most out of your wedding budget, there's no better time to start saving than today. Aim to save more than you think you need—expenses always seem to pop up where you least expect them.
