How to Announce Your Engagement in Style
The terms “soft launch” and “hard launch” of your engagement refer to how you choose to announce your big news on social media or to the public.
Soft Launch of Engagement
A soft launch is a subtle or understated way of announcing your engagement, often without explicitly saying it. A soft launch creates intrigue while allowing you to enjoy the moment before making a big announcement. It’s perfect if you prefer to keep things intimate or wait for a hard launch later! This can include:
• Posting a photo of your hand wearing the engagement ring without additional context.
• Sharing a candid photo with your partner where the ring is visible but not highlighted.
• Using vague captions like “The best is yet to come” or “Something special happened.”
Why choose a soft launch?
• It feels more personal and intimate.
• It allows close friends and family to hear the news directly from you before a public announcement.
• It builds curiosity and excitement without revealing everything.
Hard Launch of Engagement
A hard launch is a bold, unmistakable announcement of your engagement. A hard launch is all about celebrating your love loudly and proudly, letting everyone know your big news in a way that feels uniquely “you.” This typically includes:
• A clear photo of you and your partner, often with the engagement ring prominently displayed.
• A caption that explicitly announces the engagement, such as “I said yes!” or “We’re engaged!”
• Sharing the news immediately on social media, often tagging friends or using celebratory hashtags.
Why choose a hard launch?
• It’s exciting and celebratory.
• It leaves no room for subtlety or misunderstanding.
• It allows you to share your joy with your wider circle of friends and followers at once.
Which one do you prefer?
It depends on your personality and how you want to share this milestone. Some couples prefer the mystery and build-up of a soft launch, while others want to shout their love from the rooftops with a hard launch.
