Start off by telling those closest to you that you're engaged.
1. Your Children:
If you have any children from a previous marriage, they should be the first to know. Hopefully, you've prepared them for this possibility. Consider that this may be hard news for them, and reassure them that your new spouse won't replace them in your heart.
2. Your Parents:
Typically, the bride's parents are told first, then the grooms immediately afterwards. While a visit in person is nice, if your parents live far away, over the phone will work just fine. Both of you should be present.
3. Grandparents, Siblings, and Other Close Relatives:
Even if you want many of your friends and families to be surprised all at once, consider who would be hurt to not know immediately. You can tell them all at once at a family dinner, or simply tell them by phone.
4. Your Close Friends:
A few phone calls will do here, unless you want to surprise everyone and tell them all at once.
