“As the first pre-wedding ceremony in most cultures, planning an engagement is not given as much importance as the rest of the events that follow. That's why we will guide you on how to host a spectacular engagement."

Whether you're having a large-scale engagement ceremony or an intimate one among your immediate family members, planning it well goes a long way in setting the right course for your wedding. From the wedding rings to the venue, everything would need to be on point and in sync with your personalities.

You can plan to have dance performances and games followed by a party for lunch or dinner, depending on the time of the event. With proper coordination, all will fall into place perfectly. And to do that, let us introduce you to a guided tour for each part of the engagement ceremony.

Before the Ceremony

To get everybody's attention to the main event, you need a couple of pre-event entertainment options to draw the focus of your guests. And to do that, you can come up with your own personalized ideas or discuss with your wedding planner which options would be suitable according to the scale of your event. Here are some suggestions.

1. Performances

One thing that is sure to attract everyone's attention is dance. Choreograph dances to some of the popular engagement ceremony songs and you'll rope them in within a few minutes. You can involve your cousins and give your guests a teaser of the Sangeet ceremony through your dance routine.

2. Videos

A video montage of the couple's journey to this point in time can be a beautiful addition to the events of the ceremony. You can have it right after the ring exchange or place it as an opening act leading to the ring exchange part.

3. Speeches

Nothing beats real heartfelt emotions and that's why speeches suit this occasion perfectly. If the parents of the bride and groom say a few words, it would make the engagement ceremony even more special.

Ring Ceremony

Engagement rings should always be dynamic and awesome in design that not only looks adorable but also is incredible. The ring denotes their love for each other and people make the day and the rings memorable by making the rings as per their choice. Customized rings or personalized rings are largely chosen by people these days.

The engagement ceremony or Sagaai has become synonymous with the ring ceremony. Traditionally, Sagaai involved both the families exchanging gifts like groom's jewelry, bride's wedding attire, gifts for the immediate family and for the deities. Exchanging rings during this ceremony is a western wedding tradition that we have adopted. Thus, wedding rings have become the star of the whole affair so they should be bought carefully.

Choosing your Engagement Ceremony outfit

1. Engagement ring for the bride

When selecting an engagement ring for a bride, keep in mind her choices for a fail-proof shopping experience. If you have budget constraints, consider a halo setting for your choice of stone. What it does is make the center stone look bigger and make her flaunt the ring even more.
