Just Said Yes? Here’s Your Ultimate Engagement Checklist!
Congrats, babe—you’re engaged! 🎉 This is one of the most exciting moments of your life, and we at Wedding Content Co are here to help you soak it all in and stay on top of what comes next. We know the holidays are one of the busiest seasons for proposals, and it’s no surprise why—it’s the coziest, most love-filled time of the year!
But let’s be real: the excitement of saying “yes” can quickly turn into stress when you start thinking about everything you need to do. Wedding planning, parties, budgeting—it’s a lot. Don’t worry, though—we’ve got your back with this curated engagement checklist that will keep you organized and fabulous while you plan your dream wedding.
The Ultimate Engagement Checklist
1. Insure the Ring 💎
Your partner may have already taken care of this, but double-check to be safe! Ring insurance will give you peace of mind as you flaunt that shiny new bling. 🫶 Bonus tip: get it cleaned regularly before big events like your engagement party, photoshoots, or the big day!
2. Plan Your Announcement 🎉
Now that you’re officially engaged, it’s time to spread the news! Whether it’s a sweet face-to-face moment with family, a full-on engagement party, or a jaw-dropping Instagram post, figure out how you want to share your happiness. Need inspo?

3. Resize Your Ring (If Needed!)
If the fit isn’t quite right, don’t wait! Take it to a jeweler for resizing. If you know where the ring was purchased, many jewelers offer free or discounted resizing and cleaning services.
4. Have a Big-Picture Chat with Your Partner 🗓️
Before diving into the details, have a heart-to-heart about your vision. Talk about your timeline, wedding location, and any must-haves. These preliminary conversations will keep you aligned and ready to make decisions when the time comes.
5. Book an Engagement Photo Session 📸
Capture this milestone with an engagement photoshoot! This is a great opportunity to connect with a photographer whose style you love. Many photographers offer packages that include both engagement and wedding day photos—so ask about bundling options to save money.

6. Hire a Wedding Planner (or Get a Planning Binder!) 📝
If you’re considering hiring a wedding planner or coordinator, this is the time to do it! They’ll handle logistics and take the pressure off your plate. Not going the planner route? No worries! Treat yourself to a wedding planning binder to stay organized and avoid forgetting any details.
