Don’t forget - amidst the oodles of champagne and excitement - to take in every detail of this momentous moment. Put the phone DOWN (down Susan, we said down) and celebrate whole-heartedly with your new fiancé! Trust us when we say you’ll want to memorise every single second to store neatly in the ‘Best Moments Ever’ box in your brain.

#2 Celebrate determinedly

#3 Get the champagne out 

We think the heading here is explanatory enough.

You + engagement = champagne. Now, that’s MATHS we do like. *high five*

#4 Tell EVERYONE

Once you’ve contacted your nearest and dearest, plan an order of attack on how to let the rest of the world know - that’s what text, WhatsApp, email and the postal service is for, right?

#5 Order our Bride Subscription Box STAT.

Our sassy AF bridal subscription box series is the ultimate companion for your wedding journey. Period. Made up of three monthly boxes, each covering engagement, wedmin, hen party, wedding day and honeymoon, this is your chance to unbox seven gorgeous bride-related goodies each month for three whole months! It’s basically THE DREAM for the newly-engaged.

#6 Subscribe Subscribe Subscribe 

Get ready to put your preferred index finger through a bit of a workout, because there are multiple wedding sources you need to subscribe and sign up to. Pin down your favourite bridal blogs, wedding vendors and magazines (cos’ who knows when an offer or two might pop up!). Plus, during the pandemic, these brands and businesses (big and small) will really appreciate your engagement and interest! Sometimes you just can’t beat a like or save on Instagram - and before you know it, you’ve got a bulging wedding planner full of amazing ideas!

#7 Add. To. Cart

Make that all-important order for all of those up-coming squad Zoom calls and wedding planning digital coffee meetings. We recommend wearing all three of the above at once (yes, our Engaged AF T-Shirt, the Veiled Bride-to-be Headband and the Engaged AF Latte Mug) because that way no one (and we mean no one) will forget that you are of engaged status. You’re welcome.

#8 Get PINNING

That Pinterest board is calling, and it’s also a great way to share ideas digitally with your wedding day vendors! Especially if you’re unable to meet in person for a while and want to kickstart the arrangements. Plus, TEAM HEN’s Pinterest presence is definitely one you’ll want to check out. Just sayin’.
