Frequently Asked Questions
What do you caption an engagement announcement?
Short and joyful wins: "it's a yes from me" or "plot twist: fiancé." The announcement post needs almost no words — the ring and the smiles carry it. Save the full proposal story for a follow-up carousel.
When should I post my engagement on Instagram?
After telling close family and friends personally — usually within a few days. Evening posts (7–9pm) catch the most congratulations traffic, and engagement announcements sustain comments for days.
How do wedding businesses reach newly engaged couples?
Engagement season (November–February) is the industry's harvest. Checklist and planning content with a comment-keyword automation captures couples at day one of planning — the highest-value moment to enter their DMs.
