After he's popped the question and you've said yes (or maybe the other way around!), things only get more exciting. Next it's time to spread the news. The big question: Where to start? Use our step-by-step guide that comes in two parts: telling the family and sending your news to the local paper.
Families First
Your families should be the first to hear the news of your engagement. If you live near your parents or are planning an upcoming visit, you may wish to tell each set of parents in person. If you have a close relationship with each other's parents, it's fine to tell them together as a couple. If you're not too familiar with each other's parents, or if you're not sure how your parents will react, it may be wise for each of you to relay the news to your own parents privately. Some grooms prefer to uphold the tradition of speaking with the bride's father and asking for his blessing before making the engagement official. Do whatever suits your family situation best.
