What are some ways to announce your broken engagement?
Cupids Advice:
Breakups are hard to begin with, but they become even more complicated when you have to tell your friends and family that your wedding is no longer happening. Â Here are a few ways to make the news easier to break:
1. Tell your closest friends and family members first: There’s no way around this one; you have to tell the people closest to you first. Â This is not a bad thing. Â Your friends and family will be there for you to lean on while you go through such a hard time (and they can even help pass along the news).
2. Stop wearing your engagement ring: How are people supposed to know you’re no longer engaged if you are still wearing the ring? Â Taking it off is the first step to moving on.
3. Change your relationship status: We all know too well that today, people get most information about their friends through Facebook. Bite the bullet and remove your ‘engaged’ status.  This will let the world know you have broken it off without having to directly tell everyone.
