Planning Your Wedding
Call your parents before posting your engagement announcement on social media.
Your close friends and family will want to hear it straight from you first.
A Facebook, Instagram or Twitter post might be the most efficient way to announce your engagement, but it's not the most personal. You know which friends and family members would appreciate to hear the news directly from you. Plus, it's likely that older family members (like your grandparents) don't have Facebook or Snapchat accounts and could miss the message altogether.
Change your relationship status in minutes or months—it's up to you.
There's no wrong or right time.
