For so many, the first impulse we have once the ring has been placed on our finger, is to construct the perfect engagement status update. We've all seen them...
"Jimmy must have liked it.....CAUSE HE PUT A RING ON IT!!!!!"
But before you tell the world of your exciting news, stop to think about if you have told those you are closest to and think about how they will feel to see your announcement on Facebook or other social media rather than from you and your love. Manners aren't about following rules to a T, they are about being considerate of other's feelings. Your parents, close friends, grandparents, aunts and uncles, would probably like hear the new from you themselves. Once you have taken the time to think about who you should inform in person, feel free to update your social media sites.
Also to note, depending on where you live, one might also run a formal announcement in the local paper. This should also be done once families have been notified, a date has been set, and the couple is ready to move forward with wedding preparations. I don't think it is in good taste to run an announcment if there are no eminent intentions of moving forward.
