Ideas for Engagement Invitations

An engagement is one of the happiest and most exciting times in a couple’s life. The engagement invitation should be something that signifies the great joy of the happy couple. A memorable, interesting engagement invitation can be the start of a beautiful life together. There are many ways to create a unique engagement invite.

Ideas

• Add a picture to the cover of the engagement invitation. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then an image of the smiling couple together on the invite will put a treasured thought in the hearts of those receiving the engagement invitation. Choose a picture where both parties look relaxed, happy and in love.

• Seasonal. Using images from the season in which the engagement happened, or in which the wedding will occur, will center the memory in the minds of the recipients. Use images such as snowflakes for winter, birds and flowers for spring, butterflies for summer and red and orange leaves for fall.

• Write the invitation as if it is a movie premier. Write the copy as if it was the trailer in a romance movie: “Once there was a man who loved a woman…”

• Use a poem on your invitation. Find a love poem that speaks to the both of you, or write your own. The Internet has a wide variety of poetry to choose from.

• Use a theme to inspire your invitations. Draw from the common interests of the couple, places they have traveled to, where they met or the theme of the actual party. Theme ideas could be a Hawaiian luau, a Victorian wedding, the Roaring 20s or a country-western theme.
