Here, we explore several joy-filled ways you can mark this milestone moment in your lives.

1. Throw a celebratory soirée

If you’d like to celebrate your upcoming wedding with your nearest and dearest, then why not throw a celebratory soirée? You could host an engagement party at the place you first met, the location you got engaged or at your home and invite your friends and family.

You could go all out and have bubbles, nibbles, music and dancing. If a big bash isn’t your thing, throw a low-key dinner party with your closest family and friends. Or head to your local pub for a couple of casual drinks to celebrate. There are plenty of options here, so choose what best suits you and your partner.

2. Commemorate the occasion

Another great way to commemorate the occasion is to share your love story through a personalised item. For example, you could create a photo album that’s packed full of pictures of the two of you, from when you first got together to the present day. Alternatively, you could have a custom item created to display at home which serves as a lasting memory of your engagement. This could be a personalised plant pot, custom photo frame or engraved champagne glasses you can use to toast your relationship.

Other great ideas include wall prints with the date and location of your engagement, Christmas tree
decorations and ring boxes.

3. Head on an active adventure

Would you describe yourselves as thrill-seeking? Do you love to head off on active adventures together? Then you could celebrate this special occasion by booking a unique and exciting experience.

This could be anything from strapping on your walking boots for a hike up a mountain to a hot air balloon ride over the countryside. If you’re both adrenaline junkies, you could do a bungee jump or even a tandem skydive together!

Not only will an active adventure create lasting memories, but also symbolises the thrilling and exciting adventure you’re about to embark on together.

4. Enjoy a romantic retreat

If you’d like to celebrate your engagement solo, head on a romantic retreat together. Think rose petals on the bed, champagne on ice, romantic walks and candlelit dinners.

Choose a location that allows you to connect as a couple and suits both of your personalities. Whether it’s a beachside bungalow, a cozy cabin in the mountains or a charming bed and breakfast in the countryside, you’re sure to have an incredible time!

Depending on your budget, you could choose to stay local and pay a visit to a beautiful spa hotel, where you can enjoy some pampering together. Or use it as an excuse to head on a dreamy holiday abroad.

There are plenty of ways to celebrate your engagement, from romantic retreats to adrenaline-fuelled experiences and enjoyable evenings with loved ones. The key is to choose a celebration that suits you as a couple and feels like the best way to mark the next chapter of your lives together.
