Now you only get ONE chance to tell the happy news to your family, so why not do it in a creative way that you can capture forever? While using WeddingMix cameras, record yourself and your fiancé planning to surprise the heck outta your family with a wedding announcement that is memorable, fun, and totally priceless! Here are some awesomely creative ways to announce your engagement to help you get thinking:
1. Cookies
How sweet is this?? If you’re crafty in the kitchen, simply whip up a batch of treats that announce your engagement and bring it to your family’s holiday party! Granted, some of your family members may be too busy inhaling your delicious cookies to realize that what they say — but it’ll be extra hilarious to film as you and your fiancé stifle your laughter until your family members catch on 😉
Will they get the secret meaning or will they just dig in? Either way it’ll be awesome to include in your wedding video!
The sweetest and simplest way to tell your family that you’re engaged in a cool way 🙂
2. Tell a child
Got a little cousin that can’t keep a secret? When you’re at your family’s holiday party, whisper your big news in their ear. Make it clear that this is a super super secret, and to not tell anyone….especially not Grandma. Film how long it takes them to spill the beans 😉
Fact: When it comes to love, kids CAN NOT keep it a secret!
4. Christmas card
What’s so unique about bringing your Christmas card to your family’s holiday party? What about when it doubles as an engagement announcement? This plan is super simple, just show a family member your Christmas card and let the shrieks of happiness and bear hugs commence. 🙂
