Creative, heartfelt or even a little funny

There’s something incredibly joyful about sharing big news with the people in your circle. While the classic ring selfie or “we did a thing” caption certainly has its place, you might want to announce your engagement in a way that feels a bit more you. Something creative, heartfelt, or even a little funny…a moment that turns your engagement news into a lasting memory. So, here are some truly lovely ways to share this moment and tell the world you’re engaged.

Let your best friends be a part of it!

Your best friends are your cheerleaders, they have seen you through every version of yourself, the good, the chaotic, the heartbreaks and questionable haircuts …so it only feels right that they’re woven into your engagement story too. Whether they were in on the proposal or found out moments after, there are so many lovely ways to make them part of this chapter.

 Let them help you celebrate, laugh, plan, and daydream. After all, they’re not just witnessing your story, they’re part of the reason it’s such a good one!

Couple with Newspaper

Create a Newspaper Article

If you fancy announcing your engagement with a bit of British humour, skip the serious ring selfie and stage a funny couple photo instead!

Think the two of you sat at the breakfast table, tea in hand, dramatically reading a mocked-up newspaper declaring “Local Couple Shock Village by Getting Engaged.” Or recreate those classic “caught in the act” paparazzi shots as if you’re celebrities, clutching the ring like it’s breaking news.

The trick here is to lean into the silliness: a bit of humour all in celebration of saying yes!

A Little Family Announcement

Announcing your engagement when you already have a little family of your own feels extra special, it’s not just two people saying “yes,” it’s all of you stepping into a new chapter together. Whether it’s tiny hands proudly holding a sign, a family cuddle piled on the sofa, or a photo of the kids beaming because “Mummy and Daddy are getting married!”, it becomes less of an announcement and more of a celebration of everything you’ve built so far.

It’s sweet, heartfelt and beautifully full-circle, a reminder that your love story has already grown roots and now you’re simply tying them together.

The Pet Reveal

If you’re a couple whose pet basically runs the household, why not let them break the news?

Nothing says “we’re engaged” quite like your dog bounding in wearing a sign that reads “My humans are getting married” or your cat glaring at the camera as if deeply inconvenienced by the entire situation.

Muddy paws, a slightly chaotic countryside walk, or the pet sitting sweetly, it’s hilarious and let’s be honest…they know how to warm our hearts!

When it comes to sharing your engagement, the truth is this: the sparkle of the ring, the perfect photo, the curated announcement, it all matters far less than the people you share the moment with. It’s the ones who’ve held you through every high and low, listened to every story, cheered you on and quietly rooted for your happiness long before you ever imagined this chapter.

In the end, announcing your engagement is really about inviting those people to walk with you into everything that comes next…and truly, that’s what makes the moment unforgettable.
