5 Ways to Make Your Perfect Engagement Announcement

Posted on: 07/11/2025

 

Are you expecting a proposal soon? Or maybe you’ve already said “Yes!” to marrying the love of your life. Now comes the exciting part; sharing the news with your friends and family! Announcing your engagement has become a milestone in itself, with many couples choosing creative and heartfelt ways to let everyone know their great news.

Finding the perfect way to announce your engagement should feel just as magical as the proposal itself. Whether you prefer something timeless and elegant or bold and modern, here are four ways to make your perfect engagement announcement to celebrate this unforgettable moment.

 

The classic ring selfie

Few announcements are as timeless as the classic ring selfie; it is a trend that never goes out of style. Letting the ring do all the talking is a simple yet sophisticated way to share your special news. You could capture a close-up of your hand, a romantic photo of you and your fiancé’s hands together, or a playful shot of you holding out your hand to the camera.

Whichever style you choose, it’s a timeless choice for a reason. Sometimes, simplicity truly shines the brightest.

 

A photographer

What’s better than getting engaged? Having the moment captured in video or photo format and being able to rewatch it whenever you want. Whether your fiancé arranged for a professional photographer or a friend to capture the moment, or even discreetly filmed it themselves, having live footage of your proposal is something truly special.

It also makes a perfect engagement announcement. Use your photos or video clips to create a post that feels personal to you, and edit them to match your aesthetic. It’s a beautiful and modern way to share your love story and begin your engagement celebration online.

 

A vintage photo booth

For a twist on your engagement announcement, visit a local photo booth and capture some fun, candid moments together with just enough hand placement to show off your gorgeous ring.

Once you’ve got your strip of photos, take a picture of the prints and post them online. You can also then put them up for display in a beautiful frame at home as a lasting reminder of the moment you said yes. It’s a creative, vintage-inspired way to announce your engagement that feels both personal and effortlessly cool.

 

Matching tattoos

For couples who love to stand out, matching tattoos are an unforgettable way to announce your engagement. Choose something meaningful, such as your engagement date, initials, or a simple phrase like “For life” or "Just engaged". You decide!

Once your new ink is done, take a photo of your matching tattoos side by side. It’s not only a bold and unique engagement announcement, but a lasting symbol of your love and commitment, and a celebration you’ll carry with you forever.

 

Bring in the props!

For a playful and creative touch, props can make your engagement announcement pop. Think matching T-shirts, Mr & Mrs mugs, or a “We said yes!” sign for a fun, light-hearted post.

Choose props that reflect who you are as a couple. If you love the outdoors, try to include natural details like flowers, plants or any other greenery, or if you share a passion for music, incorporate your favourite lyrics into your photo. Whatever you choose, it’s a chance to show your personalities and make your engagement celebration as unique as your love story.
