A good way to tell Everyone?

sweetbrat89 · October 2013

Hi everyone, My FI (Ryan) and I have yet told our familys that we are getting married January 2014,

What is "thow"??

I would just starting calling the people I am closest too and then let word of mouth take over.

Why do you need a "good" way to tell them? Why can't you just call them up or stop by their house and say "Oh Ryan and I are getting married in January!!"

Kind of getting the idea that you and your FI are relatively young. Can I ask how old you are?

I don't understand your post at all.

You *really* need to work on your grammar & punctuation. It is insanely hard to read, or understand!

From what I do understand, you're having a hard time deciding how to tell your friends/family that you're engaged. We went to my husbands parent's house to tell them, & my parents live in a different city, so we used Skype with them. Then I called close/extended family to relay the news further from there. Other than making sure to let close family & friends know, so they don't find out on Facebook or something, I would just tell people as you see them. Is there any specific reason you're hesitant to tell everyone?

How do you tell them? With words.

I called my parents on the phone and said "we are engaged!" They were happy. Sounds like you set the date, and you say they will be supportive so just tell them. If you live close enough tell them in person; if not pick up the phone and call them. Congrats on your engagement!

What?

We called our respective families and said "We're engaged! We're thinking about a date this coming summer."

Ta-da! Usually people see it coming anyway.

To tell them that you are engaged or to tell them your wedding date? To tell them you are engaged, a phone call or telling them in person is good. For the date, you can send STDs or you can tell those closest to you and it will probably spread by word of mouth and then send out the invites.

I called my mom and told her. She asked if we were actually getting married or were just going to be engaged forever. Then he called his mom and told her. I sent a pic message of the ring to my bff/moh that said "I got one too" (when she got engaged she had sent me a pic with the caption "time to go shopping"). I e-mailed a few other relatives and then changed my status on fb, that pretty much took care of everyone else.

It doesn't need to be a production and if your family is so supportive of you I don't know why telling them would be an issue.

Call them and say, "Hey, we set a wedding date." There doesn't need to be a big production.

If you're not mature enough to tell your parents you two are getting married, you've got bigger issues, IMHO.

Congratulations on your engagement! That being said, if everyone has your back, why not tell everyone? There is no official way to go about it. I find that its best to announce your engagement to your immediate family/closest friends first. After you establish a date with your fiancee (and booked a venue), you can send out Save The Dates (STDs). Over all, just tell your family/closest friends first, have fun planning, and good luck!

Congrats! We invited our parents over for dinner and announced, "We're engaged!" We ordered pizza from Pizza Hut and had them draw engagement rings on the inside of the pizza box, because we're silly like that. It was really fun and we opened a bottle of champagne. It was low key, but we were happy we got to tell our immediate families at the same time and in person.

You don't have to plan anything fancy. A phone call is just fine.

Make each family number a decorated box covered in ribbons put in a picture of you and your fh a piece of rope tied in a knot and a mini bottle of champagne. Get glitter puffy paint and write" we are tying the knot" on the inside and include all your wedding planning information on a card .

I was being sarcastic.

You don't need to tell them anyway special.a phone with good news is exciting enough for anyone.

RebeccaB88 · October 2013

Just call them up or go over to their house and tell them. It's really not that difficult.

Unless you're afraid to tell them, for some reason. Then you have a problem. If you're mature enough to get married, you're mature enough to suck it up and tell them anyway.

Just tell them. Easy peasy.
