We’re engaged

Congratulations1 The journey towards your wedding day begins… We are thrilled to share this journey with you and hope we can offer the best possible assistance to ensure that your wedding day is completely perfect!

A new union!

Your engagement will be true a truly magnificent stage of your life.

When you tell your friends and family about your engagement they will offer their congratulations and support.

Announcing your engagement

Traditionally, the groom approached the bride’s father to ask for his daughter’s hand.

If for whatever reason this were not possible, the groom would approach the bride’s mother.

Then, before the news was made public, the groom’s parents were informed of the engagement.

Today, procedure can be more informal.


However, it still honours your parents to tell them before all others, and you may then like to inform your siblings.

If you already know who you would like in your bridal party, they should next.

After that announce your engagement to close family and your dearest friends.

Your public announcement

You may decide to announce your engagement to the public through a popular blog like Linda Ikeji’s blog or newspaper.

This formalises your engagement.

Traditionally, the bride’s parents paid for the newspaper or blog sponsored post announcement but today it’s not uncommon for couples to pay for this themselves.

There are a number of ways to write an engagement announcement.

However, if you decide to observe tradition, the bride-to-be’s family name leads the announcement.

The following examples will prove useful in creating your own:

  • The formal announcement : Johani/Ndhlovu. Mr. and Mrs Dominic Johani of Edenvale have pleasure in announcing the engagement of their youngest son, Hilton Johani, to Sinikiwe Ndhlovu, first daughter of Mr. and Mrs Ndhlovu of Randburg
  • The informal announcement : Jane and Bob Brown of Sandton have pleasure in announcing the engagement of their daughter Sarah, to James, son of Hillary and Marcus Henderson of Rooderpoort.
  • Announcement when a parent is deceased : The engagement is announced of Sarah, eldest daughter of Jane Brown of Eden glen and the late Bob Brown, to James, third son of Hillary and Marcus Henderson of Mondeor.

Now its time to celebrate…

Your engagement celebration can be anything you want : an intimate evening for just the two of you, a dinner with you family and/or friends, a night out in Lagos or a huge celebration party.

Traditionally, the brides’ parents host and pay for the engagement party.
