Question about Engagement Announcements

I am trying to figure out how to word my engagement announcements. I would like to try to make them instead of ordering them from a printer. We don’t have an exact date set yet so we can’t include a “save the date”. Anyone have any suggestions????? Thanks

Re: Question about Engagement Announcements

I just sent mine out today we ordered them from a printer it went like this

It's Official!

Connie Sanseverino is announcing the engagement of her daughter

Gloria Michelle Sanseverino
to
John W. Alexander

A date has been set!
06/24/06

Short and sweet. It only has my mom's name because my FH's mom passed away & we both don't speak to our fathers

I forgot you dont have a date yet so maybe you can put on the bottom 'date to follow'

I didn't put anything about the date!

The front had a pic of cinderella's castle at dusk and said 'when you wish upon a star...'

and the inside said

'Your dreams come true!

Miss Mary Moon
And Mr. FH

Happily Announce their engagement
At Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom
January 10, 2004'

I was thinking of putting 'A December 2006 wedding is being planned' but I left it out You don't need a wedding date. this is about your ngagement, a celebration in itself!

We don't have a date yet.

This is not the final but you get the idea.

We made it using Microsoft Publisher and they are being printed on 4 x 6 glossy card stock.

I ordered 500 of them for $102 at Printing for Less (with $25 off coupon).Printingforless.com

ETA - the final card we made is 96 MB since we used about 9 pictures but I was able to compress it (zipped it) to about 58 MB and upload to the printingforless.com site.

Re: Question about Engagement Announcements

be careful with exact dates for annoucements - i would put fall 2005 or summer 2005 - it makes it less likely that someone would rob your house on your day

Re: Question about Engagement Announcements

Thanks. It really is not difficult. We took digital pics that morning and used some others we previously had taken w/ a regular camera. I scanned them at 300 dpi.
