Modern or Traditional: Engagement Announcement?

We changed our relationship on Facebook! .....Before we told anyone 😂

Modern! (After we told all of our family in person or on the phone.)

Modern. Told a few people in person then made a post online

Modern: posted a pic on facebook after we told VIPs of course.

We announced it via Facebook.

We were scheduled to have engagement photos done, but our photographer cancelled on us last minute (day of) because of the weather. We never ended up rescheduling, and I kind of regret it seeing so many beautiful ones on here, but we did seize the day and went out regardless and took our own photos (nowhere near the same quality) with my cell phone.

Definitely modern. I posted a photo to Facebook/Insta with a long, sappy post!

I bet your friends and family loved to see it! Did you tell anyone before posting it on social media?

Well, it's nice that you still went out despite the cancellation and got some photos to share with your friends and family!

Thank you It's certainly something we'll always remember, because it was FREEZING COLD RAIN! Hahaha

We ended up loving our photographer so much that we agreed that we wanted to hire him to take "family" portraits next year with our dog!

Modern. Told family first then announced on FB.

Modern. Called our families and close friends then posted on Facebook.

We didnt announce it on social media. We also didn't have it printed in our newspaper. We told closest family/friends in person

Oh my goodness! Well, that's amazing that you found an awesome photographer! Be sure to come back and share those family portraits with your pup!

Put in newspaper where I grew up, and in alumni news for my hometown regional school system. Husband from Brooklyn, submitted only to parent's parish newspaper bulletin. Never put engagement or marriage on our social media .

Modern! We called a few people then post it on social media, hahah easier and free. 😁

Wow, Judith! It's great that you chose traditional announcements! I bet people loved to see them in the papers!

View Quoted Comment I think what keeps our small rural cluster if towns from going bankrupt is that people who leave the area subscribe, so they mail out 10 times as many papers as they sell or deliver. Big newspapers act like we only come alive every 4 years for NH primaries. Small town people, small town ways.

Modern! We told a few people closest to is then posted it on Facebook that same day!

Modern. But we did let those closest to us know before we posted so no ones feelings were hurt to find out on social media.

I think that is a great idea! It's always nice to let your loved ones know before posting on social media so that they can hear the exciting news from you directly!
