If the love of your life has just got down on one knee and proposed, then congratulations are in order. One thing many couples fail to do after getting engaged is celebrate. Getting engaged is a big deal and something that you should definitely make the time to celebrate.
Whether you choose to celebrate with an intimate meal for two or with an engagement party, that’s up to you. Whatever way you choose to celebrate your engagement is your choice, just as long as you do something to mark the occasion.
To help you choose the perfect way to celebrate, here are a few ideas:
Go on your first date, again
Whether you go back to the same restaurant or plan a similar evening, a great way to celebrate is by revisiting your first date.
Book a table at your favorite restaurant, get all dressed up and spend the evening reminiscing about when you first met. Spending time thinking about how you relationship has progressed is a lovely way to mark your engagement.
Celebrate with champagne
If you’re not one for a big fuss, the perfect way to celebrate your engagement is with a bottle of your favorite champagne. Head to your favorite bar and celebrate with friends and family and a bottle of fizz. Or for a more intimate celebration, head to your’s and your fiance’s favorite place and share some bubbly.
If you are lucky enough to live near the beach, pack up a hamper of treats – not forgetting the champagne, grab a blanket and head to the beach. There’s nothing more romantic than watching the sunset with a glass of champagne and the person you love.
Go on a mini break
After all his hard work looking at diamond rings and choosing the perfect one, your significant other deserves a treat. And what better way to treat your partner and celebrate your engagement at the same time than with a romantic mini break?
Whether you head to a tropical beach or spend a couple of nights in a local guesthouse, sometimes the best way to celebrate is to get away. If there is a destination that holds sentimental value for you and your partner, plan a trip there to celebrate. Revisiting somewhere that is special to you is an ideal way to mark your fantastic news.
Plan an engagement party
The best way to celebrate your engagement with friends and family is by throwing an engagement party. This doesn’t have to be an extravagant event, after all you need to save as much as you can for the wedding.
For an affordable engagement party, why not throw it in your home? Hire a marquee and turn your garden into a party paradise. Serve canapes and champagne and ask each guest to bring a bottle, and you’ll have more than enough for an amazing party.
Getting engaged is a big deal, and something that should be celebrated. How you choose to celebrate is up to you, just make sure that you do something to mark the occasion.
