Imagine. It’s sunset. You’re walking hand in hand with your sweetie down the sun kissed beach. All of a sudden he stops. He drops to one knee and you are now in the moment you have dreamed of since you were a little girl. Your breath catches as he utters those four little words you will never forget, “Will you marry me?” You immediately say “YES!” in your most excited voice and you embrace in a loving hug. In all the excitement you will probably call your immediate families to share the wonderful news, but what about everyone else? Sure, you could shout it from the mountain top or a roof top even, but that would probably strain your voice and you really want to be able to say “I Do” when the time comes. :) The following is a list of four ideas out of many currently available in which to spread your fabulous news without straining your voice or your pocket book.
1. Instant sharing
If you want to reach virtually everyone in an instant without spending a dime, then Facebook or Twitter is the way to go! Update your relationship status and everyone is bound to notice! All you have to do it sit back and watch as your wall is filled and tweets are all a buzz with congratulations.
2. Tell them with pictures
Take your favorite photograph of the two of you together or schedule an engagement session with a local photographer and use those photographs to create unique announcement post cards. You can use any online printing service for this. There are a number of different sites but the two I’ve seen most advertised online are Snapfish.com and Shutterfly.com. Once your announcement post cards have arrived, all you’ll have to do is address, stamp and mail. It couldn’t get any easier. Rates and styles vary from company to company, so shop around a little before you make your final decision.
3. Create a wedding website
Almost all bride and grooms to be have a wedding website these days. It’s a simple and easy way to share your engagement story, your bridal party updates, and of course pictures just to name a few, with everyone at once. Once you’ve created your website simply copy and paste the link into an email and send away. Oh, and did I mention most wedding websites are FREE! :)
4. Send a video ECard
TheKnot.com now offers video ECards. You and your fiancé can create a personalized engagement announcement that is sure to be remembered for years to come. Choose a theme (a ballroom, beach, or barnyard) with music to match, and upload your favorite photos of each other. Your smiling heads will be connected to kooky dancing bodies as you star in a musical production guaranteed to get a laugh. Want them to be unique and different for various family and friends? Make one of all three! It can be emailed to just one person or to the whole of your guest list, and it’s FREE! Go for it, head on over to http://global.theknot.com/sitelets/ritani/ecard/ and give it a try for yourself!
