What to Do First After You Get Engaged

Posted on August 30, 2018December 23, 2022 by Wedding Planner

Discover the most important things you should take after getting engaged and start planning your big day! We know that getting engaged is something very exciting and that the first thing you want is to get out screaming out there who is engaged and showing your wedding ring. But beyond the moment of euphoria, it’s time to hire a wedding planner in Dubai and Abu Dhabi for the big day.

Tell your parents and family

If it is a happy moment, then why not share it with all those who love the most? Hold the urge to post on social networks and worry first about telling your parents and close relatives. If you cannot give the news in person, call. Everyone will be happy with the news and your consideration of calling. Once the closest people know, you can spread your wonderful novelty around the four corners of the world.

Create a virtual postcard with a photograph of the engagement ring, or the bride and groom and send it to your friends’ and family’s email announcing the engagement! Put them on Facebook, on social networks and they update the steps given.

Plan a party or a more special dinner where you announce your engagement to your closest friends and family. Enjoy informing them that your wedding will be fabulous.

Choose the date of the wedding

So, prefer a spring, summer, fall or winter wedding? Do you have a special date on which you would like to celebrate the wedding? Keep in mind the day of the week that you want to celebrate the wedding, the dates on which you should not do it.

Set the budget

How much will you spend to celebrate the wedding? What is your dream? And what is your available budget to achieve it? What you need to cut and what to keep.

After sharing the news and celebrating your happiness, you should set a budget for the wedding. You do not have to do this right away, but it should be before you start planning, and definitely before you start buying things. The wedding planner in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can help a lot in planning wedding finance. Talk to your fiancé and come to an agreement where you can afford it without jeopardizing the couple’s financial health.

Make a guest list

You and your fiancé should make a list of who you would like to invite. This is not going to be your real guest list, it’s only natural that you want to call more people than the budget allows and so you’ll need to make some cuts to get a more realistic number. This is a starting point to give you an idea of how many guests you will have. You can always add or subtract as needed, but do not forget that the more people you invite, the more your wedding will cost.

Start searching for a location

Finding a place within your budget that bears your guest list and matches what you dream for your party and that is available on your date is an extremely difficult task – but not impossible. So start the search as soon as possible. The wedding planner in Dubai and Abu Dhabi can do better saving your time.

Breathe and enjoy the process

You will have a long way to go, but it is very important to take every step you take. Once the first steps have been taken, take the time to enjoy your future husband.

Due to Corona, our Wedding date was decided just a month in advance. Our date could not be changed, and the time was short. Somehow, I stumbled across Maryam’s company. She was Alhumdulillah such a big blessing at that crucial time. She went over and beyond her role. From finding a great venue to negotiating an excellent rate with the organisers and a custom menu, she managed everything. Thank you so much Maryam.
