Couple’s Engagement News – Top Ten Tips
**1. Take It All In (With Champagne!)
Okay, you foxy pair, before you dive into any planning, pause to soak in the moment. Tell your engagement story a hundred times, pop the bubbly, and post that Instagram shot. You’re only newly engaged once—milk it for all it’s worth! If you had a someone capture the engagement on camera, then sit back and look through the images of the video. Post to Instagram, and scream and shout – because it’s the best news ever and it’s a very exciting time!
2. Insure the Bling
If that ring is sparkly enough to blind your friends, it’s sparkly enough to insure. Whether you’re planning a big wedding or eloping, you don’t want your fiancé running around with a magnifying glass looking for a lost diamond.
3. Set a Rough Budget
Money talks—and when it comes to weddings, it’s screaming. Sit down together and figure out what’s realistic, whether you’re going all-out or keeping it intimate. Pro tip: Add a little wiggle room for those “must-haves” that will inevitably pop up.
4. Pick a Date (Or at Least a Season)
Are you dreaming of a summer wedding or a cozy winter affair? Start thinking about dates early, but be flexible—you’re entering the Hunger Games of wedding venues.
5. Build a Guest List Draft
Do you want an intimate ceremony or a 300-person bash? Start jotting down names, and remember: inviting your second cousin twice-removed means they might bring their loud, plus-one who eats with their mouth open.
6. Book Your Wedding Celebrant—Like Proud Fox Ceremonies!
Your wedding ceremony is the heart of the big day, and you want someone who will tell your love story with style, warmth, and maybe a few happy tears. So, reach out to Proud Fox Ceremonies to make it official. We promise—no boring, cookie-cutter ceremonies here! Always, always talk to your Wedding Celebrant first! Sometimes, some Registrars will tell you lies! Yes, you do need a Registrar to make your marriage legal, but you don’t need them for the Wedding Ceremony! Oh, yes, they will try and sell you a Wedding Ceremony and then will tell you what you are allowed to do and what you are not allowed to do! No, way – this is your day and no-one should be telling you what you should do. Get in touch with me at Proud Fox Ceremonies and I can go through all your choices!
7. Choose Your Dream Team
From a wedding planner to photographers to florists, start assembling your squad early. Pro tip: your “team” should include at least one person who’s great at handling family drama (you know who you are).
8. Start Pinteresting Like a Pro
Your “Dream Wedding” board is about to get some serious attention. Whether it’s an elegant black-tie affair or a festival-themed party, pin away—just don’t try to DIY everything you see. Please remember, this is your Wedding, so don’t compare your wedding with someone else’s wedding day! Just do you! If you start comparing, you will start creating unrealistic expectations and your wedding day won’t be ‘you’ – stay focused on you and be unapologetically authentic! Also, I would also say, do not go looking for perfection. I know you want everything to be perfect, but again, it’s not realistic. Things will go wrong, so expect them too and you won’t be disappointed!
9. Share the News (Strategically)
Some people will expect a personal call (hello, Grandma), while others are fine with a social media post. Spread the news however feels best, but remember: once Aunt Susan hears, the whole family will know.
10. Enjoy the Ride
Wedding planning can feel like a full-time job, but don’t forget why you’re doing it—to celebrate your love. Take breaks, go on date nights, and don’t let seating charts or cake flavours steal your joy.
Follow these tips, and you’ll be on your way to planning a wedding that’s as special and unique as your love story. And seriously—call Proud Fox Ceremonies. We’ll make the most important part of your day unforgettable.
