I am planning on sending out engagement announcements, but I'm not sure what to say in them. Does anyone have any ideas or a website where I can get some ideas?
I will be putting in a picture from our engagement photoshoot and we will be getting married in the Spring of 2010 to give yoru some specifics to better come up with some ideas-Thanks!
Resolved Question
Show me another »Engagement announcements-?
Additional Details
Our family doesn't live anywhere remotely close to us, so putting it in the paper wouldn't really do anything for us. My family lives in Kentucky, Georgia, and California and I live in Florida...
But that would be a cute idea! :)
Thanks everyone-

Hey! I'm in the same boat. My fiance and I just got engaged this summer, and we're trying to figure out the same thing. We are not going to send out announcements, because in our families, news like that spreads like wildfire and pretty much everyone already knew by the end of the week. But nonetheless, we had a small engagement get together with our families, and his brother (the best man) made the first toast.
Plus, we're putting it in our local newspapers because it's free (even with a picture).
Good luck, and congrats :)

- I've never heard of sending them to friends and family, but you could do a simple save the date magnet stating when you are going to get married, or just call your local newspaper and have them print it in the paper. they will tell you what to write for the little article
- To be honest, I didn't know anyone did these anymore. You might consider instead including the picture etc as part of your Christmas card. I know my family does those letters with pictures where you tell everyone what your family has been up to the past year. They're great.
Looking around the web, I haven't seen any engagement announcement stationary on any of the invite sites I've been to. I assumed they were kind of "out" for now or something.
Good luck and best wishes!
PS: And I thought our engagement was long, Spring 2010? Wow! You've got plenty of time to plan. ;) - I agree with the Christmas card idea. I don't think it's neccesary to send engagement announcements, but when you're ready to send save-the -dates (in Fall of 2010) I would recommend going to www.pioneerweddings.com
- If this is for a newspaper announcement, I would not put any specific date or where you live. You never know who could be watching the papers.
"They reside in Suffolk County and are planning a Spring 2010 wedding" would be sufficient for where you live and your wedding date.
If you plan on sending them to family and friends you could announce it in a Christmas Letter. There you could announce the year and season and have a picture of you two.
Congrats. - if your not getting married until spring 2010 I would wait awhile to send those out if your absolutely certain you want to even bother. friends and family shuld be called to announce the engagement. I would find it weird getting something in the mail about...like if you really wanted me to know you chould pick up the phone. I would just do what someone else suggested, give a photo of you guys in christmas cards, but dont send announcements...thats just silly and a waste of money.
- You don't normally announce an engagement by mailing something. Your family will find out eventually that you're engaged. Really there is no need to send cards, it looks like a gift grab when you do that. Just spread the good news by word of mouth, especially since you are planning on getting married for 3 years.
- You will want to wait a little bit longer. No sooner than 18 months before your wedding. The ideal time is with "save-the-date" cards/magnets a year before the wedding. For now, it is word of mouth.
