If I send out engagment announcements do I have to invite them all to the wedding?

I want to send out engagment announcements becuase we will not be doing planning anytime soon. We also have relatives out of state that I would like to notify. The announcement will also let everyone know that a date has not been set. So do I have to invite everyone that I send an announcement to or no??

If you were having an engagement party I could see sending announcements with the invite...how about puttting an announcement in the newspaper and then call or send personal announcements to your relatives out of state you would probably be inviting anyway.


Would save you a lot of work, time and money.
Reply:YES!
Reply:I know you want to shout the news from the rooftops but engagement announcements aren't really necessary these days. Have a party!





If you decide to send out the engagement announcements, the people who receive them will probably expect a wedding invitation too.
Reply:i would not send an engagement announcement to anyone i was not planning on inviting to the wedding. if it is distant relatives or people far away (like your great-great-aunt or a third cousin who lives across the country), you can always send a marriage announcement after the wedding just to let them know you tied the knot.
Reply:if I got an engagement announcement I would assume I would be invited to the wedding. why else would you send them out? if I got one and wasnt invited to the wedding I would think the couple is just looking for an engagement gift or something. I dont like the idea of an announcement anyways. good for you...your got engaged. if I'm close enough to you to care then you could pick up the phone and call me yourself.
Reply:Yes. Sending them an announcement and then not inviting them eventually would be rude.
Reply:I sent out announcements to many people, but my wedding only included 50 of them. They seemed to be fine with it. We did however had a huge picnic style reception, where we invited everyone.
Reply:People who get announcements will expect a invite regardless of whether the date was set.
Reply:no.
Reply:If you're sending out an announcement that you're engaged, and also mentioning that no date has been set, it is safe to say the people receiving this announcement would assume they were going to be invited to the wedding.
Reply:no i would send out a marriage announcement. You can inform ppl that you are married, but not invite them. There are a lot of ppl that you may just want to know but dont really want them or need them to be at the wedding.
Reply:no do wat u will an announcement is saying yea i'm getting married but an invit says i want u to be there
Reply:My in-laws insisted on doing that since I refused to invite all 200 people in their family that I've never even met, let alone my husband didn't know half of them. They weren't invited to the wedding, it was just a way of say, "hey we got engaged". After the wedding they all recieved a "hey we got married" type of dea saying it was a small private ceremony blah blah blah. That way they weren't left out of the loop.
Reply:No. Engagement announcements aren't usually sent out anymore. You can if you want to but you aren't obligated to invite everyone to the wedding that you let know about your engagement. Although be prepared that they will expect to be invited and may want to know why they weren't.
Reply:yes...although you didn't send a save-the-date...people will be expecting to be invited to the wedding when it happens.
