You’re Engaged! Now what?

So you just got engaged? Congratulations! But, now what do you do? There is so much to do! However, here are the 4 most important tasks we think every newly engaged couple should put on their checklist immediately.

#1 Get the ring insured!  Congratulations! Your newly purchased ring is now exposed for the world to see and admire on your beautiful fiancé’s hand, but we can’t stress enough how important purchasing insurance is! Especially in light of the recent fiasco, with Kim Kardashian’s ring being stolen, you do not want to risk anything with perhaps one of the most important purchases of your life. Allurez has arranged for Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company to bring our US and Canadian (excluding Québec) customers valuable information about helping to protect your purchase. For more information on obtaining your insurance CLICK HERE.

#2 Announce your engagement on social media. In these modern times, the fastest way to let all your friends and family know about your new engagement is an announcement on social media. Whether it be Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or all three-the manner of delivery is totally up to you! You can post a picture, a video, or a simple “We’re engaged” status. Don’t forget to use our engagement hashtag #AllurezLoveStory so we can share in your joyous news! We love to boast about our happy couples, by featuring them on our blogs and social media- so don’t be surprised if you are selected and asked for an interview and feature! We are so happy for you!

#3 Reserve your venue and set the date! Many couples have a specific season in mind for when they would like to get married, but few have a very specific date. So, our suggestion is finding your venue first and being flexible with your date to increase your chance of acquiring your perfect venue. Once the venue is booked, start preparing to send out your “Save the Dates”, at least 6-8 months in advance, and get your wedding website up and running!

#4  Choose your wedding rings.
If the bride’s band was not purchased as part of one of our Matching
Bridal Sets, than we are here to help in your search to find the perfect wedding band to complement your
engagement ring. In fact, we even have an entire post dedicated to  picking out your wedding band. Click Here. For the groom, we have an enormous collection of different styles to choose from and are available to help you every step of the way. Our Diamond and Jewelry Consultants are at your disposal via phone, email, or even Live chat! Feel free to Contact us with any questions you may have.

From our family to yours-we wish you all the best on your journey to starting a magnificent life together and congratulations!
