Frequently asked questions
What do you write in an engagement card?
Congratulate them both by name, say something true about them as a couple — how happy they make each other, how right this feels — and wish them a joyful engagement season. Save the marriage advice for the wedding; today is about the yes.
What is a short engagement wish?
'Congratulations on your engagement — may the love you feel today be the smallest it ever is.' One warm line that fits a card, a text, or the note on a bouquet.
Do you give a gift for an engagement?
A gift isn't required, but a gesture is always appreciated: a card, champagne, or flowers sent to the happy couple. Save the bigger gift for the wedding — an engagement bouquet with a heartfelt note hits exactly the right scale.
