The Best Way to Make Your Engagement Announcement
The best way to make an engagement announcement is by throwing a big informal party where everybody who knows you even remotely would be welcome. After all you are engaged; you are about to get married and start a family. This is big news; big joy and it needs to be shared with everyone who would be happy with and for you.
Some Suggestions on How to Do It Best
Many people love the idea of sharing this great news with everybody they know but do not know how to go about it. A great way to do so is by throwing a big formal or informal engagement party. However, some shy away from this idea because of the lack of budget.
The next best way would be to draw up an artistically designed engagement announcement and then send these by mail (or if they are close by - by hand) to all your friends. The engagement announcement should be done in person to both the sets of the parents unless they live in another country and it is too inconvenient to travel over to meet them.
As per the tradition, both parents would then throw an engagement party to make the engagement announcement. It is possible that both sets of parents get together and throw one big part rather than two smaller ones - and in the process have a test drive of how the wedding party would look like.
There Are Other Alternatives
You could design a simple engagement announcement and publish it in the newspaper along with your photographs. This would be a very impressive way of making an engagement announcement and one which would definitely catch the attention of everyone you wanted. Seeing your picture in the newspaper would add to the thrill that the engagement has brought into your life.
You could use the help of the Internet. If you have a website, it would be a great place to make your engagement announcement. This is because everybody who knows you would definitely check the website off and on and when they do so, they are bound to see the engagement announcement you posted there.
Since we are speaking about the Internet, you could this as a medium in yet another way to make it known to everybody that you are engaged. Design a very beautiful announcement and then either change it into a hyperlink or scan it and use it as a picture file attachment while you send an email to all your friends and relatives informing them regarding this wonderful milestone in your life.
