Engagement eCard

Lead with genuine congratulations to both of them, then say something specific about them as a couple. Reference the proposal if you know the story, and finish with something you are looking forward to.

Keep wedding logistics out of it. The engagement is its own event and deserves its own moment.

Yes, and it works particularly well. Build the card as the announcement, add a photo from the proposal, and choose a reveal so friends and family have to trace a heart or answer a question before they find out.

Send the same link to everyone at once, or build separate cards for the people who should hear it directly from you first.

Send it within a few days of hearing the news, while the excitement is still fresh. Engagements have a short window where everyone is talking about it at once, and a card arriving that week feels like part of the celebration.

After a month it starts to read as an afterthought.

Only in passing. A line about looking forward to celebrating with them is warm; asking about dates, venues, budgets or whether you are invited turns a congratulations card into an enquiry.

Newly engaged couples field those questions constantly, so a card that does not add to them is a small kindness.

Write about your friend and your confidence in their judgement. Saying you are glad they have found someone who makes them sound like this is warm without pretending to a closeness you do not have.

Add that you are looking forward to meeting their partner properly, and mean it.

Yes-or-no is the obvious and most enjoyable fit, since it mirrors the proposal itself. Tracing a heart is the romantic option, and untying a bow works nicely when the card is framed as news being unwrapped.

Try each one on your real card in the builder before you send it.
