Call your family and friends to share the good news! Most likely, they have an idea that the ring is coming but you don’t want them to find out on social media before you tell them.

It’s your turn to post the ring selfie! Now that your family and close friends know that you have a ring on a very important finger, it is time you and your newly fiancé post “The Ring Selfie.” Show off your new blingon Instagram for the world to see!

Speaking of ring selfie, treat yourself to a manicure! Your hands are going to be in the spotlight, so you might as well treat yourself to a manicure!

Does your ring fit? Make sure you also have your ring sized. You don’t want it to slip off! Maybe consider getting your ring insured as well. You never know what could happen and it is always good to have a backup plan. Especially when a lot of money went into it.
