Just Engaged? Now What?

We know this is a truly happy and unforgettable moment for you, and we know just how excited you are about the upcoming months.

We also know you’re quite anxious over all the things you have to do now that you’re engaged and planning your Philadelphia area wedding – but it’s really important to prioritize and take it slow.

What are some of the things you should consider after your engagement?

We have some tips for you – so read on and find out more.

Insure your engagement ring (if this wasn’t done already). Engagement ring insurance is really not expensive – but it can save you from a lot of trouble. Depending on the insurance policy, you could be covered in case of theft, for example (so, if something like that happens, you can replace the ring).

Plan an engagement party. It doesn’t have to be something really big – most engagement parties are quite intimate, actually. Your parents, close family members and friends should be there. However, keep in mind that whoevers invited to this party should be invited to the Big Day as well.

Start dreaming of the perfect wedding. This is not the time to start searching for specific elements, but it is the time to start pinning all those beautiful wedding ideas. You will eventually narrow down the list of options – but this is the time to dream.

Start thinking of a budget. Talk to your fiancé and parents and see how much money you can afford spending on the entire wedding. Also, don’t forget to discuss who pays for what – it might be an uncomfortable discussion, but it’s something that needs to be done now, before things get too complicated.

Plan an engagement photo shoot. This is a really special moment in your life – so why not hire a pro to capture the moment? Of course, this is a wonderful opportunity to “test” your chosen photographer as well and see if they’re compatible with you and your personality (so that you know who to hire for the Big Day, of course).
