Congratulations on your engagement! Now that you’ve said “yes” and celebrated the joyous moment, it’s time to embark on the next steps that will shape your dream wedding and set the stage for a lifetime of happiness together.

1. Share the News: The first order of business is spreading the joy. Share your engagement news with family and friends. Whether it’s a heartfelt phone call, a video chat, or a social media announcement, let your loved ones share in your happiness.
2. Celebrate Together: Consider organizing an engagement party to celebrate with family and friends. This informal gathering is an excellent way to bring both sides of the family together, introduce friends to one another, and revel in the excitement of the upcoming nuptials.
3. Set a Preliminary Budget: Before delving into wedding planning, it’s essential to establish a preliminary budget. Discuss financial expectations and priorities with your partner and both sets of parents if they’re contributing. Understanding your budget from the outset will guide your decisions throughout the planning process.
4. Define Your Vision: Sit down with your partner and discuss your vision for the wedding. What atmosphere are you envisioning? What are your priorities – whether it’s a destination wedding, a grand celebration, or an intimate affair? Understanding each other’s desires will help create a wedding that reflects both of your personalities.
5. Select a Date: Choosing a wedding date is a significant step in the planning process. Consider factors like the season, meaningful dates, and availability of key venues. Once you’ve settled on a date, it becomes a focal point for all your planning efforts.
