Engagement announcement wording: examples

Announcing your engagement means sharing the news before the party. Here's wording for a simple announcement, for an engagement party invitation, and for every style.

Announcement or invitation?

An engagement card can simply announce the news, or invite guests to a party. In that case, add the date, time, venue and an RSVP deadline.

To announce the news

Inès and Yanis are delighted to announce their engagement.

She said yes! Inès and Yanis are engaged.

Mr. and Mrs. Haddad and Mr. and Mrs. Benali are happy to announce the engagement of their children, Inès and Yanis.

One ring, one question, one answer: we're engaged.

To invite guests to the engagement party

Inès and Yanis are engaged and invite you to celebrate the news on Saturday, March 6, 2027, at 7 p.m. at Villa Azure.

The Haddad and Benali families are pleased to invite you to the engagement of Inès and Yanis on Saturday, March 6, 2027.

We said yes (for starters). Come raise a glass with us on March 6, 2027!

Before the big day, a first party: join us to celebrate our engagement on March 6, 2027.

Religious wording

With the help of Hashem, Mr. and Mrs. Cohen and Mr. and Mrs. Levy joyfully announce the engagement of Sarah and David.

In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the Benali and Haddad families joyfully announce the engagement of Yasmine and Karim.

“What God has joined together…” begins today with a promise: Claire and Anthony are engaged.

Our tips

• Keep a tone close to that of the future wedding: your guests will recognize your style.
• For a party, send the invitation three to four weeks ahead.
• If the henna night and the engagement are on the same day, put both events in the same schedule.
