Getting engaged is a memory to treasure.
When you and your love get engaged you want to share your happiness with the world. A better way to celebrate is to throw an engagement party. Traditionally, your parents would host the engagement party, but modern etiquette allows the bride and groom to host their own engagement celebration. Regardless of who hosts your engagement party, including an appropriate saying, quote or rhyme will make your invitation more personal. Does this Spark an idea?
Sayings
The wording of a more formal engagement invitation, according to Paper and More website, will have phrases like: "You are cordially invited to attend an engagement party for;" " ...have the pleasure to announce the engagement of...to.... Please join us in celebrating." More casual sayings might be: "Introducing the future Mr. and Mrs. so and so. Please join us for an Engagement Party in celebration of their love and heritage."; "Embracing the sanctity of marriage, the spirit of the family, and the pride of our ancestry . . ."; "See (Bride's name). See (Groom's name). See Groom propose. See Bride accept. Please join us for an Engagement Party in honor of the future;" or "Their love continues to grow like a well-tended vineyard, growing stronger and more beautiful with time. You're invited to an Engagement Party for..."
Quotes
Adding a quote from a well known person will help your engagement invitation be unique and more personal. Place the quote on the back or left side of the inside. Favorite engagement quotes are: "Grow old along with me, the best is yet to be," by Robert Browning; "Love is friendship set on fire," by Jeremy Taylor; "My mother says I didn't open my eyes for eight days after I was born, but when I did, the first thing I saw was an engagement ring. I was hooked," by Elizabeth Taylor; and "No sooner met but they looked; no sooner looked but they loved; no sooner loved but they sighed; no sooner sighed but they asked one another the reason; no sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy; and in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage, which they will climb incontinent, or else be incontinent before marriage," by William Shakespeare.
Rhymes
Getting engaged to be married is such a happy time that adding a clever rhyme to your invitation can express your joy to your invitee.
