Engagement Annoucements?

[adias.angel]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone sent out informal engagement announcements?

 

I was thinking of serving a duel purpose with these. Since we have two different guests list, DW & AHR (25 people) and AHR only (200 people), we could send these to AHR only guests as a "hey were going to be doing a destination wedding and there will be a party when we get back for you to attend" kind of thing.

 

Since we are sending save the dates to DW guests these engagement announcements could go out the same time to the AHR only guests so we don't have anyone upset that they were not informed or didn't get something in the mail too.

 

Is this only making sense in my head? Carla

We arn't planning an AHR, so we don't have the two list option. BUT I am planning to send out our Christmas Cards and include an engagement picture and not mention anything in the card about our wedding plans. I am then planning to send our STD's out in April (1 year prior) and those will go to only people invited. My Christmas list has ALOT of people who will not be invited, as it is a destination wedding, however, I think they would want to know the news.

 

So that will be our official announcement.
