These days announcing your engagement can be as easy as changing your Facebook status or sending out a quick tweet, but before you reach for that smartphone take a few minutes to think about how you really want people to find out you’re engaged.
So the champagne has been sipped, the ring has been shown around, and congratulations have poured in, but now the reality hits; you actually have to plan a wedding.

Marriage Proposal Advice....
Whether or not your proposal comes completely out of the blue will depend largely on how long you’ve been together and how much you’ve talked about getting married, but if you plan it right you can make a proposal a surprise in any situation.
Public proposal seems to be growing in popularity. Proposal packages where performers call you and your girlfriend up on stage, waiters deliver the ring to your table with dessert, or where dolphins pass on your message with a special sign, are increasingly common.
Proposing to your girlfriend is a pretty exciting moment in your relationship and in your life in general. The secrecy involved in buying the ring and making the arrangements for the proposal is all very romantic.
