Announcing Your Engagement
If you have just become engaged, you will surely want to share the happy news with the world.You should start, of course, by telling your families. If the bride's parents live nearby and know her fiance, it is best for the couple to tell them in person. If they do not live nearby, then they should be told by phone and arrangements should be made for them to meet him as soon as possible.
The groom may have already discussed his marriage plans with his parents. In any event, they should be formally told after the fact. It also would be best to tell them in person, but if distance is a problem, a phone call will do.
You might then tell your friends and relatives personally, or by having an engagement party to announce your engagement. Also, it is customary to announce your engagement to the rest of your community by means of a newspaper announcement.
