Personally, I told the girls I wanted to be my bridesmaids and one friend who was about to go into the peace corps and be out of the country for a few years to try to sort out if she could come. A big group FI's and my college friends had a Thanksgiving potluck, so I held out and 'announced' our engagement to them then and let everyone fawn over me. A few days after the party, I changed my fb status to let the rest of my friends know.
I'm not really the type to call everyone I know and gush for hours. Or email everyone I know. I hope most of my friends realized that not getting a personal message from me didn't mean I don't care about them.
