Alternative Engagement Rings
If you like to buck the system a little bit and be your own gal, you might want to do something a little different for your engagement. There are some fun ways to celebrate your upcoming nuptials with alternative engagement rings.Have a Huge Party
You can take the several thousands of dollars that you would have spent on an engagement ring and throw a massive party to celebrate your engagement. The whole point of an engagement ring is to let people know that you are getting married. An elaborate and beautiful party will make wonderful memories you can recall for a lifetime.
Use Other Gemstones
If your favorite gemstone isn’t a diamond, it is sapphires, rubies or emeralds then use that as the main stone in your engagement ring! That center stone is usually not included with an engagement ring when you buy it. You can put any gem in there that you like.Use Matching Earrings
A tradition some use these days, in place of an engagement ring, is matching earrings. The bride and groom will split a pair of large diamond earrings. They each wear one of the earrings. This new tradition can also be done instead of wedding bands.
