115 short lines for the back of the card, 25 short verses and 12 ready-to-send texts, emails and letters, sorted by kind of party: casual, formal, from the parents, hosted by friends, funny, no gifts, ring ceremonies, surprise parties and more. Every short line can go straight onto one of the free invitation designs: pick it here and the maker opens with it on the back.
An engagement party invitation does two jobs. The front says whose engagement it is; the back carries the date, the place, the RSVP and one practical sentence, most often who is hosting. That sentence is where most of the lines below belong: the hosts, the dress code, no gifts, a late parent remembered, or a ring ceremony worded for both families. For timing, guest lists and addressing the envelopes, see the engagement party invitation etiquette guide.
