Announcing Your Engagement

So you’ve shared the great news of your engagement with your immediate family; and you may or may not choose to throw a soiree, but you definitely want to make it official by letting everyone know.

Traditionally engagements are published in newspapers but couples today are choosing to make this momentous occasion of their lives and those of their loves ones more personal.

Sending engagement announcements can be a fun way to tell everyone that you’re on your way to tying the knot. Since you will be in the early stages of your planning, whether or not you choose to incorporate your color scheme does not matter, but should reflect who you two are as a couple.

In addition, when sending your engagement announcements, make sure that everyone who will be invited to the wedding receives one. So that way there will be no confusion. Should you choose to include your wedding date on the announcement; then the card can also double as a Save-the-Date card.

Congratulations and Happy Announcement!

Congratulations On Your Engagement!

Holidays are a joyous time especially if you received something a little extra in your Christmas stocking. How excited and overjoyed you must be; and I bet you're beyond thrilled to get started on your planning.

From a wedding planners' point of view and not so much an invitation designer, I would suggest first of course sharing your good news with your loved ones, those who were not there to witness the momentous occasion. Then secondly, purchasing a special notebook to jot down your ideas of what you had originally wanted for your wedding day; you know what you wanted when you were younger. Then compile a second list, with modern ideas and designs that mesh both you and your fiance's personalities.

The important thing is not to dive in head first. Try to not become consumed with magazines; or TV wedding shows; or other people's ideas of how your wedding should be. Take some time and revel in this moment because it is truly a wonderful experience.

Congratulations to you!
