Once you become engaged you need to make immediate plans to tell the people that are most important in your life. That list may include, but is not limited to, your parents, your grandparents, your siblings, your children and any close friends.





Remember once you tell one person of the engagement news tends to travel really quickly. It might seem easier to tell a couple of people and let them tell other family members or friends, but this really is not for your benefit as people may feel hurt or angry. Throwing a dinner party to announce the news is a good way to ensure that your family and friends hear the news at the same time from you. You may need to hold 2 or 3 small get together to tell who’s most important in your lives before sending out a general announcement.

The dinners or get together should be within one week of the engagement. Since you are trying to ensure no one finds out before this event make sure not to tell anyone beforehand. For this reason you will want to schedule these dinners as close to the engagement date as possible.



If the two families have not met yet or are not on good terms the dinners should be separate. If they have not met you should try to have a get together for the two families soon afterwards, at least one with the two of you and the parents. Throwing separate dinners or even one big party at once will ensure that everyone hears the happy news from you. This way you can let the people closest to you know before the announcement goes out.

Also, if there are any children from previous relationships they should be told first. You should let them talk about how they feel about the situation, and let them openly express themselves. The children should be told as soon as the engagement occurs. Ask the children to not tell anyone until after the party as you want to tell all the guests at once. Also let them know that you do not want them to tell anyone until after the immediate family is told at the party. If the child or children are on good terms with the individual who is about to become their step parent you may even want to allow them to announce it at dinner so they feel involved.
