5 Must Haves For The Newly Engaged Gal

Buy Yourself An Engagement Journal

I bought this one and I love it! It may seem cheesy, but you’ll want to chronicle all the details of your engagement! This journal contains many prompts to get you to reminisce on your relationship starting at the beginning. My favorite part is prompts are given to both you and your partner – so a story is created from two separate points of view. Plus, you get to see all the things your partner loves about you on paper. You can also set intentions and set goals for your marriage! I plan to purchase this Anniversary Journal (by the same creator) which allows you write memories on every anniversary you share. Either of these books are great gifts for your newly engaged loved ones!

Keep Your Ring Sparkling With A Diamond Dazzle Stick

When you’re newly engaged, you’ll find yourself staring at your ring throughout the day. You’ll be obsessed with keeping it as sparkly as possible (people will be excited to see it!) and I found an affordable option to keep it clean. Enter the “Diamond Dazzle Stick“. It’s only $8 (or 2 for $13.50) and removes the dirt and oils built up on your rings. Simply twist the pen and a cleaning gel will emerge. The soft bristles allow you to gently apply the gel all over the ring. Use water to rinse it and voila! A brand new sparkling ring. My favorite feature of the Diamond Dazzle Stick is how tiny and portable it is! You can easily carry it with you in your purse!

Keep Your Ring Safe In A Ring Dish

If you’re like me and prefer not to wear your ring when sleeping or showering – you need a ring dish! After becoming newly engaged, your greatest fear will be losing your ring. That fear never really goes away, but a ring dish helps to ease your mind. I purchased this ring dish and love it! It’s small, simple and affordable! Plus, the gold heart is just the cutest. You can also buy ring dishes in the shape of a ring, with the initial of your future last name and more!

Silicone Rings Are Worth The Hype

I am straight up obsessed with my engagement ring. With that being said, it can be difficult to carry out some activities with it on my finger. For this reason, I purchased silicone rings I can wear to the gym, to the beach – all the places I’d rather not wear my engagement ring. The good news is there are literally thousands of silicone rings you can choose from and they are as little as $1-$2 each! I purchased this pack (7 for $12) and I love the thinness of the bands. Plus, if you lose one you’ll have several left over! You can also purchase thicker silicone engagement bands in several color variation sets. You can also purchase silicone wedding bands for men as well! I’ll be picking some up for my fiancé!

Buy Yourself a Wedding Planner

When you first become engaged, you’ll likely feel super overwhelmed about all things wedding related. As someone who was never really interested in weddings, I had little to no knowledge of anything wedding related. Once I purchased this wedding planner I instantly felt more organized. Not only does this planner walk you step-by-step through all stages of wedding planning it also includes *modern* wedding etiquette, how to select vendors, stress management and more! Plus, it’s super cute. Always a bonus!
