8 Things To Do As Soon As You Get Engaged

Getting engaged is one of the most exciting times of your life! After you’ve said yes to the ring and person of your dreams, things can get a little overwhelming. From sharing your brilliant news with everyone around you to planning your big day, there’s a lot that you need to get started on — and the sooner the better.

To help keep things as stress-free as possible and ensure you don’t miss a single thing, save this list of the 8 things to do as soon as you get engaged.

8 things you need to do when you get engaged

1. Call the people closest to you
Unless you’re keeping your engagement a secret, call your parents, siblings, and best friends and share your amazing news with them! The people you’re closest with shouldn’t have to hear about your engagement on Instagram or TikTok.

2. Get a manicure
Your hands are going to be in the starlight for the next couple of weeks, so make sure they look their best. It doesn’t matter whether you get a professional manicure or do it yourself at home, make sure your nails look great so your ring pictures look fabulous.

3. Insure your ring
No matter how careful you are, sometimes the worst happens. Make sure you get your ring insured before any accidents happen. This way, should your ring get damaged or lost, you’ll be able to replace it without worrying about money.

4. Get your ring resized
If your engagement ring fits, that’s great. You can skip this step. If not, it’s time to get it resized. If your ring was purchased from Angelic Diamonds, we’ll resize it for you for free.

5. Share ring selfies
You’ve told your nearest and dearest you're engaged, your nails look incredible, your ring is insured, and it fits perfectly. The next thing to do is share your news with the world! Post all the ring selfies and videos you like to commemorate the special occasion.

6. Throw an engagement party
Getting engaged is definitely worth celebrating. So round up your friends and throw an engagement party. If you’ve got way too much on your plate right now (you’ve just got engaged, after all!) keep it simple and just go out for a drink.

7. Enjoy being engaged
Before you start planning your wedding, take a step back and enjoy being engaged. Take a couple of weeks to let this important stage of your life settle in and make the most of it. You’ll have plenty of time to stress over wedding planning in the next 12 months!

8. Set a date
The most desirable wedding dates and locations get booked up far in advance. To ensure you have the dream wedding you deserve, decide on a date early on. This way you’ll have plenty of time to make all the necessary arrangements and keep stress levels down to a minimum.
