FAQ
How long after getting engaged should we start planning? There is no set rule — many couples wait a few weeks or months before diving into logistics, and that is completely normal.
Do we need to announce it on social media? No — plenty of couples choose to tell people directly first and share more widely whenever they feel ready, if at all.
