Newly Engaged and Wondering What to Do Next?!

First things first, congratulations on your engagement! 💍This is such an exciting season, and if you’re feeling a mix of joy, nerves, and “where do we even start?” that’s completely normal. Wedding planning doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. These five steps will help you ease into it and actually enjoy the process.

1. Soak It All In (Yes, Really)

Before jumping into checklists and Pinterest boards, take a breath and enjoy this moment together. You only get to be newly engaged once.

Celebrate in whatever way feels right date nights, a mini getaway, dinner with family, or simply reliving the proposal story for the hundredth time. These early memories are just as special as the wedding day itself, and they set the tone for everything that comes next.

2. Share the Excitement With Your People

Once you’ve told your closest circle, it’s time to share the news more widely. Whether that’s a social media post, engagement party, or casual get-together, this is your first official celebration as an engaged couple.

Many couples choose to host an engagement party or celebration and adding something interactive, like a photo booth, gives everyone a fun way to capture the joy of the moment. You’ll love looking back on these photos and seeing how excited everyone was from the very beginning.

3. Talk Through the Vision (No Pressure, No Final Decisions)

You don’t need every detail figured out yet but having a few honest conversations early on makes planning so much smoother. Talk about:

• The type of wedding you’re imagining (romantic, modern, laid-back, party-focused, etc.)

• Rough guest count

• Budget comfort level

• What matters most to you both

These conversations help guide your choices and make sure your wedding reflects you, not just trends or outside expectations.

4. Lock In the Big Pieces Early

Once you have a general vision and timeline, it’s time to book the essentials. Venues and top vendors often book far in advance, so this step is key.

After securing your venue and date, start thinking about vendors who shape the guest experience like entertainment, photography, and a photo booth. A photo booth isn’t just an add-on; it’s a fun, interactive way to keep guests entertained while creating keepsakes you’ll treasure long after the day is over.

5. Focus on Creating an Experience (and Memories)

At the end of the day, your wedding is about more than a schedule it’s about how it feels. Guests remember laughter, connection, and moments they got to be part of.

Interactive elements like a photo booth help:

• Break the ice between guests

• Fill natural lulls during the reception

• Create personalized keepsakes guests actually take home

• Capture candid, joy-filled moments you might not see otherwise

And the best part? You get a collection of genuine, fun memories from the people you love most.
