Bling! A ring on your little ole finger.
Platinum, gold. solitaire, pave, three stone. Cushion, round, princess, square. The perfect engagement ring. A symbol of love and commitment. An engagement ring is also a shorthand reminder of the many social engagements to come during 2013. Are your really ready? Who announces the engagement; how is it worded? What is the best way for the bride and her family to herald the good news?
There are essentially three ways to announce an engagement: at a formal party, at a more casual event and/or with a printed engagement announcement card. And, of course, your engagement news first arrives via texts, emails and a flurry of telephone calls.
Option #1: The bride’s parents host a formal party and the invitation reads:
Mr. and Mrs. Patrick Leo Lynch
request the pleasure of your company
at cocktails and dinner
in honor of the
engagement of
Miss Courtney Elizabeth
and
Mr. Mason Ramsay Chevalier
February, the fifteenth of February
at eight o’clock
