raebates said:I agree, Jennifer. Mine was a personally written note of "Best Wishes." I told them that I would be glad to tell them about our registry and wedding showers if they contacted me, but wished them well either way.

Harriet I read your letter on cancelations, Love It, definately going to use that one. Has anyone gotten upset when you ask for the $15 check?
pamperedgirl3 said:I tried this last year when I got the idea from our wedding registry training booklet. Never got a thing from it. I also just recently did a bridal fair & got a list of the brides that attended. There are 100 of them that I don't have drawing slips for & was thinking of sending them a wedding registry brochure, but I don't even know if I want to do that. I'm tired of paying postage for nothing!

pchefmommy said:i have done this, so in my & others defense...when i got engaged, i signed up for so many free mailings / drawings at wedding shops, bridal fairs, etc...i didn't think about someone "stalking / looking me up / chasing me"...that's is just what naturally happens when you get engaged - you get lots of marriage "literature" in the mail. the key is to be tactful & different from the rest.

There are several ways to make your engagement or wedding announcement stand out. Consider including a unique photo, adding a personal touch with a heartfelt message, or using creative wording to make your announcement more memorable. You can also use different design elements like bold fonts or fun graphics to catch the eye of your readers.
It is typically recommended to send out engagement announcements as soon as possible after the proposal, and wedding announcements should be sent out within a few weeks after the wedding. This allows enough time for your loved ones to receive and celebrate the news with you.
The key information to include in an engagement announcement is the names of the engaged couple, the date of the engagement, and a brief message about the proposal. For wedding announcements, you should include the names of the newlyweds, the date of the wedding, and a short message about the ceremony. You can also include details about the location and time of the wedding, as well as any other important information you want to share.
It is generally considered tacky to include registry information in your engagement or wedding announcement. Your loved ones will likely ask for this information when they receive the announcement, or you can include it in your wedding invitations.
It is ultimately up to you whether you want to send out physical announcements or use digital options like email or social media. However, sending physical announcements is a more traditional and personal way to share your news with loved ones. Digital options can be a more convenient and cost-effective option, but may not have the same impact as a physical announcement.
