When you've picked one, drop it into the engagement invitation maker and share it by link.

What to include

FAQ

Who hosts (and is named on) an engagement invitation?

Traditionally the couple or their parents. Desi invites often name both families; modern parties are often hosted by the couple themselves — either is fine.

How much notice should I give?

Three to four weeks is comfortable for an engagement party; send a quick reminder a few days before.

Do I mention the wedding date on the engagement invite?

Only if it's set and you want guests to save it. Otherwise a simple "wedding to follow" is enough.
