Announcing Your Engagement – Who’s First?

When announcing your engagement, always start with family first – parents, siblings and grandparents.

The most intimate and immediate way to tell your family is in person or by telephone. For family there are just a few phone calls and hearing your voice and excitement is so much more memorable then an email! And if you live in the same city, then of course in person is even better.

Yet, it may not be practical to call everyone else. If you have many in-town as well as out-of-town friends with whom you share personal information, then email is an acceptable way to announce your engagement. Of course, you know best if there are friends that best hear the big news with a phone call (or else!). So use your judgement in the end on who gets the call and who gets the email.
