The Etiquette of Getting Engaged
When you get engaged, it’s not simply a case of choosing beautiful diamond engagement rings. There are still old traditions and etiquette that should be followed. Although these days we tend to bend the rules of old traditions when it comes to engagements and weddings, it’s still nice to respect these time-honoured rules of conduct.
Before technology hit, the announcement of an engagement followed a certain structure. It was the main way that friends and family were informed about a couple’s engagement and their future plans. Whilst there is still a form of announcement these days, it’s much more relaxed. Etiquette can provide a structure within which to plan your engagement and wedding. Others may find it stifling and want to allow their own individualism to shine through. Whatever you decide, make sure it works for you, your fiancé and your family.
If you do decide to adhere to engagement etiquette, there are some big advantages:
• It provides a tried and tested structure for your engagement planning
• It will ensure you have a smooth and hassle free engagement
• The old traditions are often romantic
• Traditional etiquette will avoid you forgetting certain events and responsibilities
When announcing your engagement, you may want to run a small column in the local paper to inform friends and acquaintances. It is the norm these days that the family has already been notified before this happens.
Other couples may choose to have an engagement party. The notification of the engagement happens as the invitation lands on the doormat.
