How do I Word Engagement Party Invitations?

If you are the host, you can wax poetic with your own reflections and include a poem that communicates your happiness for the newly engaged couple, or you can rely on poets' and philosophers' thoughts on love and marriage.

Include a line or two of poetry on the front of your invitations or place poetry on the inside of the card.

"Love one another and you will be happy. It's as simple and as difficult as that."
Or you can quote French author Antoine de Saint-Exupery:
"Love does not consist of gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction."
