Is it necessary to send a physical card for an engagement?
A physical card is a lovely gesture, but not mandatory. A heartfelt message via text or email can be just as meaningful, especially if it reaches them quickly.
What if I don’t know the partner well?
Focus on your friend or family member in your message. You can still express joy for their happiness and excitement for the future they’re building together.
How soon should you send congratulations after an engagement is announced?
Aim to send your congratulations within a few days of the announcement. Timely messages show you value their news and are genuinely happy for them.
