How long did you wait to announce your engagement?

About 10 minutes hahahaha my best friend put it on snapchat, as well as my fiance & me! I posted several hours later then put my phone away for the rest of the evening. I texted my best friends too!

We announced it same day! We’ve been dating since December of our senior year of high school, so it’ll be 7 years next month of being together! My parents, his brother, and his best friend were there when it happened, and we announced to family and on FB same day

View Quoted Comment I have told my 2 very best friends in the world. But, that's it. LoL.

Yeah we just see family & friends a lot so hiding the ring would be hard haha! We went to dinner with our families to celebrate after but we announced immediately.

I waited about a month to publicly announce it (facebook), but I told my immediate family 3 days later, and started telling people close after that (and I tried to tell everyone I was close with before posting it on facebook!). I honestly wasn't sure we were actually engaged for about 2 days! (it was weird: I said no, I said yes over the phone, I worked all day, I got home we celebrated, but it didn't feel real)

View Quoted Comment I don't have a ring to hide, we are picking it out together. So, that makes it easier. LoL.

I got engaged on November 8th last year! We waited less than a day to make the announcement. Our immediate families were waiting at the restaurant to celebrate with us which was a great surprise. By the time we left dinner it was late, so I didn't get a hold of some close friends. By the next day at noon we had notified everyone that we wanted to and made an announcement on social media. We did have our venue and church secured before the proposal so we were able to share the date immediately. Congratulations on your engagement!

I don't see any reason to wait for the venue. I called my mom first and posted on social media probably the very next day!

Me and my fiancé got engaged a day later! His family already knew and most of mine too, so we announced it right away

View Quoted Comment Thank you!! We do lots of things backwards it seems. LoL. We have a family, and house, and now engaged. I'm so excited.

View Quoted Comment I would, but he asked me to wait, so I am. I am definitely on him about venue though. LoL.

View Quoted Comment He did not tell anyone. He's a very private person, I'm the really outgoing one.

He had asked for my parents blessing and told my siblings, so they were all expecting a call. We told close family and friends same day, a few hours later when we could get reception. We didnt announce to social media until 2 days later.

Ohh nah I could not wait LMAO. He proposed, and I called and texted all my major fam members and closest friends. I did not want them finding out from Facebook.

Then I posted a photo of us on my FB and IG, so everyone could see same-day. We had been together 4 years and everyone was waiting for this.

IDK how you're keeping it in!

View Quoted Comment LoL, me either honestly. I suppose since I told my 2 best friends it made it easier. But, we plan on telling parents first, and social media for everyone else. We both have family all over the country, and it's easier to use social media. This is a picture we took the morning after he proposed.

He proposed February 10th. FaceTimed my parents, his parents, my besties, and then he called his friends. We posted it on FB that night once all parties were "appropriately notified". Hah.

We finalized the venue March 8th - two weeks to find a venue and really we just got lucky b/c I had a work trip in the area where we were getting married, and another 12 days to finalize the contract. My fiance actually didn't even see the venue at that time, but had stayed there before. I'm sure others would think that's crazy!

OP, when are you guys looking for venues?

View Quoted Comment We already know where we want. He wants to talk to the lady. She's a friend of his mother, and he said he'd like to talk to her, and book it before announcing.

Honestly I think he is postponing announcing just because of how private he is, and he knows everyone will try and put their 2 cents in. But, I don't care. We are planning this wedding the way we want.

We announced it on FB the next day, it was hard enough waiting that long! Had to make sure all the proper family and friends had been notified first. We didn’t even know what state we’d get married in at that point.

I think 2 hours.

we went to dinner with two good friends, then called people close to us, then posted on facebook.
