Facebook engagement announcement

Here's how I announced our engagement!!!! This was the only thing I put on Facebook about the engagement.

I posted a few of our engagement pictures, no one has asked for an invite. Pretty much everyone already knew anyway.

After speaking with all VIPs I posted hours later. I was never scared of those I better be invited posts, because frankly, if you're not invited, you're not invited. I never once got upset I wasn't invited to a wedding.

I posted a ring picture a few hours after my FH posted a status update. His update almost confused some people... He put..."For some reason my girlfriend keeps sending pictures of her left hand to friends and family... but I don't know why." A lot of people laughed and said that was odd... but then some of the females... started going.. wait left hand... are you engaged? Then we updated our status. Nothing else has been put on social media since.

We changed our relationship status on FB about 3 weeks after it happened so we could inform family and enjoy the moment. Haven't mentioned the wedding since and we have received only thoughtful comments- nothing regarding where's the invite, etc. I don't think we plan to post anything wedding related since it's so far out for us and we want to keep things for us an our guests

My mom put it on Facebook almost immediately after I told her and tagged me in it. It was up for hours before I saw it so the cat was out of the bag by then! But it's ok. We've gotten a few messages from those insisting to be invited, but quite frankly, all those invited are the only people whose feelings we feel responsible for.

After we told our close friends and family, we both made a post on Facebook. We're both not that active on Facebook, but it was an easier way to reach a lot people. This what I posted.

We posted this photo, which was taken the next night (after we told the vips). Everyone knows I LOVE cannolis so some people commented on the cannolis or how much I love them and then realized later what else was in the photo. It's not the best photo but it's two things I love, my ring and cannolis.

Since this we haven't added anything else about the wedding.

We've chose to keep our wedding private. It's been so peaceful

I told my mother first since we were in another country for my 30 and she posted it Saying see what happenes when you jump off a 10 ft waterfalls since he proposed at the waterfalls in D.R.

I posted a pic of my hand with my ring on, and a caption that said "So this happened tonight" with the heart eyes emoji. I tagged FH in it, and between the 2 of us we have a lot of FB friends. Neither of us had anyone ask to be invited. I have not posted a single thing on FB about the wedding since and I don't really plan to - I don't want the "where's my invite" people to come out, haha

I let my 2 younger sisters post their congratulatory facebook status (they were begging, but I told them to wait until I told all the important people first), and that was it. I didn't post anything myself until last month, asking for recs on bridal shops (4 months after proposal)

My announcement!

I posted a pic of my ring with some cheesy status. We didn't announce on FB until 3 weeks later when i got my ring back. It was hard not to say anything right away bc FH grandpa had just passed away. Since the announcement, we have only gotten 2 "I better be invited" comments, which one of them got called out by her own husband lol

I didn't post anything. My FH did and luckily nobody has said anything about the wedding lol. We also haven't posted anything about it since

I posted a pic of us the night we got engaged on Facebook the next morning to announce it. That was it. We told our family and close friends right after he proposed and we had our moments They needed to know first before social media

We were on a cruise and her posted she said yes to his relationship change

A couple weeks after telling our families and friends we updated our relationship status, but since haven't posted anything about the wedding.

Thank you all for your responses! I respect all your views, especially those who do not do Facebook at all. I too along my fiance spent time before the proposal to tell our family and close friends about this engagement and wanted to make sure they knew before we made it known to the world. I too haven't received any invitation requests, but only when we told people about it which we already would anyway. I mainly posted to facebook because I was excited to tell the world. After that, it will be pretty private.

This is how I announced ours
