“Come up with a creative way to take a photo of the ring.”

You could take a conventional engagement selfie, but what about a “ring selfie”? Come up with a creative way to take a photo of the ring that fits your personality or the moment you said yes. Then make an “engagement post” on social media. While it’s a simple idea, it’s also one of the fastest and easiest ways to spread the good news.

2. Use Scrabble Letters

This is a newer trend among newly engaged couples we’ve seen on sites like Instagram. There are a number of ways to do this. You can spell out your names with the tiles and then create words like “ENGAGEMENT”, “I SAID YES”, or “WE’RE GETTING MARRIED”. Also, consider letting the ring stand in for the letter “O” on the board.

3. Plan A Surprise Engagement Party

An engagement party is another great way to announce the happy news to your family and friends. Create a game where the clues lead your guests to guess your big news. Make the party fun and interactive so it will always be remembered.

4. Involve Your Pets

Everyone loves dogs and cats, so get yours involved. Your doggo can hold up a sign saying, “My humans just got engaged!” Tie a ribbon with the ring or the ring box around your cat’s neck. A personalized pet collar or ID tag could be a cute alternative, too.

5. Create A Personalized Engagement Video

Here’s where you can really kick things up a notch. You could create a stop-motion animation using photos of your actual engagement. Or maybe film a funny “recreation” of the big moment or create signs that you hold up individually.

Him: “I…popped…the…question.” You: “And…I…said…YES!”

The last card can have a picture of the ring and then lower the sign down to reveal the real thing.
