Telling Your Family About a Marriage Engagement

RE: Telling Your Family About a Marriage Engagement Post By (Guest Post) (09/04/2008) You say "partner" so I assume there is no tradition male and female in the relationship (forgive me if I'm incorrect). My partner and I told the most accepting parents first, then worked our way up to the more traditional parents who were more opposed to the idea.

This can be breakfast or dinner or a Bar-B-Q as long as everyone is invited. This is also a good time to announce the wedding date if one has been set. Do not wear the ring in public until this has been done. Next tell grandparents and sibblings. It is appropreate for the brides and grooms families to have a get-together to announce the engagement and to introduce the new son-in-law or daughter-in-law to-be to family and friends. If this is not feaseable, the brides parents should announce the engagement and wedding date in the local news paper.
