Getting engaged is thrilling, romantic and always exciting. But it can also be a bit stressful. There’s a lot to get done when planning a wedding, and all that stress begins when you get engaged. From choosing an event center in Pharr, TX to sharing the news, learn what to do first after getting engaged.
  • Share the News – Don’t let the stress of planning a wedding get you down. Share the news! You just got engaged! Start by calling family members and close friends so they can hear the good news from you directly. After you get ahold of all the important people in your life, go ahead and blast your social media with ring pics. You can also wait a few days to share the good news to keep your excitement and enjoyment between you and your new fiancé for a bit. 
  • Size Your Ring – While your new fiancé did a great job of picking out the right, with or without assistance from you or a close friend, your partner might not have gotten your size exactly right. The last thing you want is to lose your new ring if it’s not the exact correct size. Take some time to stop by your local jeweler to get your ring sized to perfection. If possible, try and go to the vendor or jeweler that made or sold the ring initially as he or she can make sure its correct and might also be willing or able to give you a good deal. 
  • Breathe – Getting engaged is a whirlwind of emotion and celebration. People will probably begin asking you if you set a date or made other wedding plans almost immediately after the ring is slid onto your finger. It can get overwhelming. The last thing you want is to miss out on the joy of planning a wedding and getting engaged because you’re stressed. Take a breather if you need to. Don’t feel bad about taking time away with your new fiancé to celebrate just the two of you. You don’t have to jump headfirst into planning right away, especially if you might want to get married more than a year from when you get engaged. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the moment!
  • Choose a Venue – If you do want to get planning right away, the first step is to choose a venue. These days, almost all kinds of wedding venues from event centers to vineyards book up about a year in advance. Take some time to think about what you want your wedding to look like and use those thoughts to inspire your venue search. Once you have your venue, you can start filling in all the other details.
