Here are a few ideas for people wanting to make a big splash announcement for their wedding engagement and those who may need a bit of wedding engagement inspiration.

Something Borrowed for Your Social Media Post

This bride-to-be took the “something borrowed” tradition to new levels with her social media engagement post! When that moment finally comes around, everyone wants to look their best. Filters are great, but there are certain things even they can’t do. The bride was caught off-guard when her future hubby did the deed. As a nurse, her nails were not prioritized and so she was not manicure-ready for when the ring was placed.

Lucky for her, her cousin was nearby and was more than happy to ‘lend a hand’ for the engagement post photos.

At the time, nobody guessed what a splash this wedding engagement announcement would make! It has been viewed 835,000 times and ranks high as unique when it comes to engagement posts!

Viral-Worthy Save-the-Date Instagram Wedding Engagement Announcement

Many couples in 2020 found themselves at a loss as they were forced to cancel weddings, change dates, and reschedule their big days!

Announcements of date change because of the pandemic and lockdown restrictions flooded social media. Couples may have spent ages on their original wedding engagement announcement social media posts and needing to change the details can be heart-breaking.

This couple, however, sent their change-the-date viral with their clever video announcing the news. Their video was so impressive that it was picked up and shared by The Knot, a wedding website. The bride said she was tired of seeing gloomy announcements about weddings being canceled in the interview.

She said they wanted to do something fun and memorable to announce their change of date. With over six thousand views, they can be sure their message got out–and they had so much fun creating it!

Social Media Post Turned into a Game of Tic-Tac-Toe

Tic-Tac-No-You-Didn’t… Yes, they did! In a completely opposite twist from our first story, this bride-to-be was beyond prepared for her big day, looking stunning with her Mehendi artwork providing a stunning backdrop for her new ring.

Taking to Twitter, she eagerly posted a picture of the new ring, positioned beautifully among her Mehendi artwork, for the world to see. Little did she know how far her good news would spread! One follower got clever with their comment on the post and started a game of Tic-Tac-Toe among her Mehendi artwork. Others cottoned on and soon started posting their own pics with the next move inserted on the pic. Very soon, this bride-to-be’s arm was a canvas of Tic-Tac-Toe moves, while her ring glistened prettily in the background.

The social media engagement quickly grew into 247 comments, six and a half thousand retweets, and 74.8 thousand likes. The bride’s post will be remembered for many years to come.

When the News Anchor Became the News

One news anchor was able to announce her recent engagement on a news show. It was viewed on YouTube by over 80,000 people. While not everybody can break the news on their very own news channel, there are other ways you can incorporate an idea like this!

You could arrange for someone to secretly film a family or friend’s lunch you are attending. While sitting at the lunch, casually slip your ring on and then start gesturing and making it visible for everyone to see. You can then upload the recorded footage later in a cleverly worded social media post announcing your wedding engagement to your world.

In this go-big-or-go-home moment, the Buffy the Vampire star slew the wedding engagement announcement by posting it to her social feed, announcing the news on the bride’s behalf! Almost 1.5 million views is not a bad response to any social media post!

Wedding Engagement Announcement Transcends Distance with Facetime
