So what do you do first, now that you're engaged?
First, you announce it to every single person you know. Now, I don’t mean every “single” person — that would be cruel. But do let all of your family, co-workers and friends know about it. One great way to spread the word, in addition to Facebook and Twitter, is by sending Newsday an announcement. Be sure to include a photo of you and your fiance and a paragraph or two about yourselves.
Next, jot down a rough guest list. Include everyone on your wish list from North Shore to South, from Eastern Long Island to the west — don’t worry, you’re going to narrow it down and down and …. As a writer, I can tell you this is where ruthless editing will come in very handy. Because when it comes to your wedding, in today’s economy, less is more. More on this in another post.
