When should we announce the engagement?

I just got engaged and our wedding is set for next year. When should I annouce the engagement in the local newspaper and have our engagement party? I need some sort of timeline on when i should do everything to make my day the very best day of my life.

Dear Announcing,

A wedding countdown timeline is included in any wedding etiquette book such as, Emily Post's Wedding Etiquette and the Bride's Book of Etiquette. Actually, one of my wedding etiquette booklets include this information also.

You could send your announcements one year from the date of your wedding. These days you could host your own engagement party, but it should be known that this is not a gift giving situation. That would be in very poor taste.

Sincerely,

Rebecca
