Getting Engaged

 Engagement Ring Insurance

Certainly, the focus for many couples in all the excitement of getting engaged is the engagement ring. For many, it’s the first thing anyone wants to see; the ring is almost like the stamp of certification on your engagement! That’s why protecting it with ring insurance is absolutely necessary. First, have your ring appraised by two or three jewelers, other than the one from whom you purchased it (for complete objectivity). A reputable jeweler will be able to recommend several options for places to have your ring insured. Always provide the insurer with original receipts, certificates and appraisals, records of resizing or repairs, and any other information about the ring that may affect its overall value.

Take a big step toward your future by purchasing your ring through one of uTANGO's online jewelry merchants. Your engagement ring purchase through uTANGO will bring you significantly closer to your $1 Million cash payout! Learn how!

So, you’ve finally had the marriage discussion with your partner. Now what? Consider these tips a checklist of things to do prior to your engagement:

• Wait a while before proposing. If you recently talked about getting married, let the surprise factor have time to sink in.
• Gather proposal ideas. Find an engagement location that is both romantic and memorable. (The best way to choose this is to select a place you’ve always wanted to go together – a restaurant, a bed and breakfast, a ski resort, etc.)
• Buy the engagement ring, or have a stand-in ring if you’ve decided to select the ring together. Shop for your ringthrough uTANGO to earn toward your $1 million cash payout.
• Think of something wonderful to say when you propose! Consider it a precursor to your wedding vows.
• Get both sets of parents’ permission. It may seem outdated, but it is a wonderful way to pay respect to the thoughts of your families.

Once you’ve made your engagement announcement, it’s time for someone to throw an engagement party or you can host it yourself. You may want to choose a theme to reflect the theme of your wedding but you may not be that far along in your planning. A simple get together for friends and family is an easy way for all parties to celebrate while getting to know each other before the wedding. Depending on the time of year, you may consider having the party on a beach or at a local park. You could also select your favorite local restaurant, the place you met, a party hall, or a hotel. Depending on the custom in your area, you may want to consider registering for wedding gifts prior to the engagement party. In some areas of the country, couples are given gifts at the engagement party and the wedding, too.
