Wedding Planning Can Wait

Dear Newly Engaged Couples: Congratulations on your engagement! Although you just announced your engagement, you don't have to rush to begin planning right away. Here's a tip: Enjoy being engaged!  Agreeing to be life partners is a huge step, a huge change. Let your engagement sink in.  Take engagement photos.  Live in the moment. Enjoy showing off your new ring. Enjoy each other. 

Don't let family pester or pressure you into planning your wedding immediately.  Take a breather! After budgeting for the engagement ring and planning the perfect proposal, your partner deserves a moment to breathe. Wedding planning takes money.  Wedding planning takes time, even if you hire an event planner... time away from your partner while doing online research or visiting bridal boutiques.  

So continue dating and having date-nights or game nights. Work together to choose a wedding date. Continue doing thing to keep your relationship fresh. Continue being open and honest with one another and lean on your partner if you are feeling overwhelmed.  When you are BOTH ready to proceed with planning your BIG DAY, go for it! Good luck! Happy planning!
