Engagement Announcement Ideas
1. Use Your Pet to Break the News

It’s one thing getting your pets in on your engagement selfie, but getting your pets involved in the actual paw-posal is a whole different ball game. This adorable snap was taken just after the couple got engaged and shows their adorable pup with a sign that says ‘Say Yes!’

We love that the couples’ dog was incorporated into both the proposal and the engagement announcement. If there’s one way to get your followers to stop scrolling and take a closer look at your post, it’s a pup! This is also a great way to announce your engagement if you’re planning on having dogs at the wedding.

2. Get Inked

If you’re a couple who already know you’ll be skipping wedding traditions, start early and announce your engagement in an unconventional way. Olivia Attwood and Bradley Dack had their engagement date tattooed on their wrists. They may not have used their ink to announce their engagement – but we seriously wish they had! You can read all about Olivia and Bradley’s wedding plans here.

What a cool way to share your news, particularly if you’re a couple who like to do things a little differently. You could be bold and get the date of your engagement tattooed on your body in numbers or Roman numerals, then post a picture for all your friends to see. Fairly cryptic, but cute all the same. Even better, when you get married, you can add your wedding date to the collection – see our favourite wedding tattoo ideas here.

If you’re not the tattoo type, what about a temporary tattoo? You can get them printed with just about anything and it can be a funny prank to play on friends if you’re definitely not the tattoo type – except the engagement will obviously be real.

3. Get the Family Involved

Not all engagements are just between two people, so if you want to make your family part of the news, why not include them in your engagement announcement? Using cute engagement onesies like this one, take your children on your engagement shoot, or DIY your own family portrait and get your children to hold up signs to announce the news.

And as Sam Thompson says in his Staying Relevant podcast, “Baby pictures get more likes on the gram!”

4. PDA On the Day

No couple does PDA quite like Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker – from sitting on laps and snogging in public to long-lasting hugs and bikini-clad embraces – these two love a public display of affection, and their engagement announcement was no different.

If you and your partner love a bit if PDA as well, why not stay true to yourselves and share the sentimental moment on your feed? If there was ever a time to PDA-it-up online, your engagement announcement is it!

For couples who aren’t a fan of the elaborate, extravagant posts, a classic engagement ring selfie could be the perfect way to announce your engagement online.

Take these two for example – their beaming smiles (and that stunning rock!) prove that less can definitely be more when it comes to engagement announcements. Don’t feel pressured to put on a big song and dance for social media if that’s not who you are.

6. Post the Actual Proposal

For those who are comfortable sharing everything on social media, sharing the moment you or your partner popped the question is a great way to break the news of your engagement. Taylor Lautner proposed to his girlfriend in a romantic, candlelit setting. Once she’d said yes, he shared the exact moment he got down on one knee on social media.

Giving people a glimpse into the moment the engagement happened is a lovely way to make them feel like part of the moment.
