Engagement
Getting engaged is one of life’s most exciting milestones, but it also marks the beginning of a completely new planning journey.

What should couples do after getting engaged? Many couples start by celebrating the moment, sharing the news with loved ones, and discussing their priorities, budget, and ideal wedding timeline. How much should an engagement ring cost? There’s no set amount you should spend on an engagement ring. The right budget depends on your finances, preferences, and the type of ring you choose, with spending varying significantly between couples. When is engagement season? Proposals often cluster around the festive season, New Year, and Valentine's Day, when families gather and romantic milestones feel especially significant. How long should an engagement last? There’s no set length for an engagement. Many couples spend anywhere from several months to a couple of years planning their wedding, depending on their circumstances, priorities, and the type of wedding they’re planning. Do you need to have an engagement party? Engagement parties are completely optional, but many couples choose to celebrate with family and friends before wedding planning begins in earnest.
