As a wedding invitation and stationary designer, my role is to listen, give advice and design cards for brides and grooms. Now I am in this strange role for me where I am the one planning my own wedding and having to get ideas and take advice. Don\u2019t get me wrong, I am really excited but it&#8217;s uncharted waters.<\/p>\n<p>My fianc\u00e9 and I have been together for just over 7 years. Even though I knew we would eventually get married, I can\u2019t help but be in this state of shock now that it is actually happening. So, I&#8217;m engaged&#8230;what now? I should know the drill, right? I have been working with brides for years so the novelty should be wearing off, but it hasn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>Even though many people would be surprised to hear this, I am not the type who enjoys being the centre of attention and, more importantly, I do not like to flaunt or brag. I still don\u2019t know how to broach the subject of our engagement with people. It goes against my nature to make announcements about myself. Of course, there is no way getting around telling your friends and family and they have all been so sweet with nothing but kind words. It\u2019s the acquaintances who leave me speechless. So far my approach has been not to mention it and allow them to pick up on it themselves by noticing the ring or hearing about it through the Facebook grapevine.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_12270\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-12270\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12270\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803.jpg\" alt=\"just engaged\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803-500x331.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-12270\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-12270\" src=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803.jpg\" alt=\"just engaged\" width=\"640\" height=\"424\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/02\/medium_3501770803-500x331.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> photo credit: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/lemuelinchrist\/3501770803\/\">lemuelinchrist<\/a> via <a href=\"http:\/\/photopin.com\">photopin<\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by\/2.0\/\">cc<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>It has only been a couple of days since I have been engaged, and even though I know the typical process from start to finish since I have worked with so many brides, when people ask me questions about when, where and how, I totally freeze! All I know are two things. Actually, make that three. I need toget a rough guest list together and I need to book the ceremony and reception sites. Everything else will come\u00a0 together in due time. One thing is for sure, I know who is doing my save the dates, invitations and thank you cards! *wink* I get that&#8217;s\u00a0 a major decision because I see the sense of relief when brides decide to sign on with my company to create their cards.<\/p>\n<p>So&#8230; where am I in the process of planning of my wedding? Doing the same as the rest of you, I suspect. Though we haven&#8217;t yet set a date, I am emailing and calling around to get quotes on reception venues. I don\u2019t necessarily find it daunting but there is so much to compare and contrast. As a bride, you want the right price paired with the right quality with no hidden surprises. I will keep you posted on my journey and I hope you keep me posted on yours. They say there&#8217;s power in numbers, so let&#8217;s plan together!<\/p>\n<p>What was the hardest thing about becoming engaged for you and your fiance?<\/p>\n<h6 class=\"zemanta-related-title\" style=\"font-size: 1em;\">Related articles<\/h6>\n<ul class=\"zemanta-article-ul zemanta-article-ul-image\" style=\"margin: 0; padding: 0; overflow: hidden;\">\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/pre-wedding-parties\/how-to-be-the-perfect-maid-of-honor-our-maid-of-honor-checklist\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/247401184_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/247401184_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/pre-wedding-parties\/how-to-be-the-perfect-maid-of-honor-our-maid-of-honor-checklist\" target=\"_blank\">How to Be the Perfect Maid of Honor: Our Maid of Honor Checklist<\/a><\/li>\n<li class=\"zemanta-article-ul-li-image zemanta-article-ul-li\" style=\"padding: 0; background: none; list-style: none; display: block; float: left; vertical-align: top; text-align: left; width: 84px; font-size: 11px; margin: 2px 10px 10px 2px;\"><a style=\"box-shadow: 0px 0px 4px #999; padding: 2px; display: block; border-radius: 2px; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/wedding-invitation-wording-when-children-of-the-bride-and-groom-are-inviting\/\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/237387919_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"padding: 0; margin: 0; border: 0; display: block; width: 80px; max-width: 100%;\" src=\"http:\/\/i.zemanta.com\/237387919_80_80.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/noscript><\/a><a style=\"display: block; overflow: hidden; text-decoration: none; line-height: 12pt; height: 83px; padding: 5px 2px 0 2px; background-image: none;\" href=\"http:\/\/www.idotaketwo.com\/blog\/wedding-invitation-wording-when-children-of-the-bride-and-groom-are-inviting\/\" target=\"_blank\">Wedding Invitation Wording When Children of the Bride and Groom are Inviting<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello to the legions of the newly engaged\u00a0 out there!
