Getting engaged is an exciting phase in every woman’s life. Even though the engagement is a commitment between two couples in love, sometimes it means more to the woman compare to the man. Relationship comes in different forms and sizes, it might be a man and a woman, a woman and a woman or a man and a man. We need to be accepting and respectful over one’s decision and choices. Well, the question of the day is, how do you truly congratulate a couple who had recently or just got engaged? Do you just send a regular message or do a little more by sending messages that are truly meaningful and representative of the couples.  

You can always write a personalized message that truly represents the couple on the gift you plan on gifting them on their successful engagement. Some can be meaningful, others funny and even a quote from your favorite poet. Anything to put a smile on the couple and make them feel special and loved.

The following are examples of some of our beautiful engagement messages.

Engagement is a special milestone that hopefully occurs once in a lifetime for some people while others a couple of time. But either ways, it should be a special moment in every persons life, be it a man or a woman. It becomes the responsibility of the family and friends to support and be happy for them by being there and sending them special messages and gifts to demonstrate your support. It need not be expensive, but should be something special that comes from the heart. Try and keep the messages and quotes on the positive side. It can be funny, cute, meaningful, but mostly something to encourage the couples on their upcoming new journey together as one.
