Engagements are a momentous occasion that deserves a grand celebration, and what better way to break the big news to your friends and family than with elegant, premium-quality engagement invitations? Getting engaged can be thrilling and euphoric, but planning the subsequent celebrations and the actual wedding day can also be overwhelming especially if you want to make sure everything aligns with your vision. One key element of a memorable engagement party is the invites, so make sure to give out invitations that your guests won’t forget so easily.
Because there’s a myriad of party invitation ideas to consider – like luxury, classy, and cute engagement invitation cards – settling on a final template can be a real challenge.

What information should be included in an engagement invitation?
It can be exciting to pick out colours, font styles, and other embellishments for your engagement invites, but make sure your invites contain the most crucial information for your party:
Names of the engaged couple
You may not be the only couple to be engaged recently in the family or your circle of friends, so your invitation recipients must know that it’s you who just got engaged. You and your fiance’s names should be the focus of your invitations.
Event date and venue
Your recipients need to know when and where the celebration will take place so they can make the necessary arrangements needed for them to be able to attend. Specify the date and time of your event and detail the location of the venue as well.
Dress code and theme
If there is a specific colour, theme, or dress code that you expect your guests to come in, make sure that they are well aware of that by stating such information in your engagement invitation.
Giant Invitations takes pride in its dedicated team of talented designers who can customise a dazzling invitation for your engagement party while making sure the focus of the invite remains on the important information about your event. We won’t offer you just any engagement party invitation template; our artists will carefully cultivate a bespoke invitation for your special celebration until you are truly happy with how it looks and feels.
When is the right time to send out engagement party invites?
Many brides get too caught up in looking up ‘wedding invitations Australia’ or ‘wedding invitations Sydney’ trying to perfect the design of their engagement invitations that they end up wasting too much time in this phase alone. Remember that there are many other elements to your engagement party that need your attention, so it’s best to stick to a schedule when planning your party. To help ensure you stay on track with your schedule, set a date for when you want to send out your engagement party invitations.
Ideally, engagement invitations should be sent out around four to six weeks before the event to give the recipients enough time to respond to your invite and make preparations as well. Make sure your invitation contains RSVP details to let your guests know by when they need to respond to your invitation and how.
Giant Invitations offers one of the fastest turnaround times in the engagement invitations Melbourne industry. Because we have our own printing presses, we have complete control over the turnaround and quality of the invites, so we have no problem handling production on a mass scale. We can have your invitations ready within a few days, depending on the complexity of the design, and we even offer overnight options given that they are available.
Who usually receives engagement party invitations?
Many couples invite too many guests to their engagement party that they end up spending and hosting a celebration that is almost as grand as their actual wedding. The truth is, you don’t have to invite everyone you want to have at your wedding to your engagement party. Instead, you can keep your guest list limited to the following:
Both sides of the families
Your and your partner’s family members should be a priority on your guest list as long as you want to celebrate your engagement with them. Representatives from both sides are ideal recipients of your engagement invitations.
Your close friends
Friends who have witnessed your love story are perfect to have at your party as they can reminisce your journey as a couple to make the party more meaningful and fun.
Important wedding party members
Anyone whom you consider an essential part of your wedding should ideally receive an invite to your engagement party as well. They can be extended family members, colleagues, or guests who have major roles at the wedding.
