Have you heard about the trendy way to celebrate your engagement in 2018? It’s called an engagement-moon–a fun twist on the traditional honeymoon. Instead of waiting until after your wedding to jet off and spend some quality time together, many couples are choosing to plan romantic getaways after their engagement to celebrate the start of the rest of their lives.
As you’re looking for personalized proposal ideas that symbolize your love and affection, see if an engagement-moon should be part of your plan!
Time for the Two of You
After you announce your engagement, you’re likely to receive dozens of cards, messages, and questions from your loved ones. They might ask when you’re planning to get married or what type of dress you envision wearing. While these are exciting things to think about, it can be overwhelming when your engagement–and the glittering ring on your finger–are still fresh.
Making time to celebrate with just the two of you is an important first step in your future marriage. Jetting off to one of your favorite places for an engagement-moon, even if it’s just for the weekend, can be a romantic way to celebrate what matters most. And don’t worry, when you get back, you can plan an engagement party with all of your family and friends!
Create Your Vision
Along with celebrating your engagement, an engagement-moon is a fun way to start thinking about your wedding. Many millennials are going for casual, pop-up weddings instead of sticking with the traditions their parents followed. Spending time together is the perfect space to reflect on what you both want out of your soon-to-be nuptials and what traditions are important to you.
There may be decisions and topics that come up that you never considered before, so what better way to celebrate your engagement than to start dreaming about your big day?
