If you’re more on the introverted side, you might prefer a quieter, more intimate way to share your engagement news. Here are some thoughtful ideas on how to announce your engagement:


  1. Personal Letters or Cards: Write heartfelt letters or cards to your close friends and family. It’s a personal touch that shows you care about sharing the moment with them.

  2. Private Gatherings: Host a small, intimate gathering with your nearest and dearest. This way, you can share the news in a cosy, low-key setting.

  3. Phone Calls: Give your loved ones a call to tell them the news personally. It’s a simple but meaningful way to share the excitement.

  4. Social Media Post: If you’re comfortable with it, a carefully crafted social media post can be a way to share the news without a lot of fanfare.

  5. Photo Announcement: Send a beautiful photo announcement to your close circle.


For the Extroverts:

  2. Social Media Live: Go live on social media to share the news with everyone in real-time. It’s an exciting and interactive way to announce your engagement.
