After all, whether it's your sibling, friend, child, or even coworker who's getting engaged, you'll want to come up with a message that's even half as special as their love story.

Just like planning a wedding, there's a clear structure to follow when writing an engagement card, starting with a warm greeting followed by a sincere statement and a positive ending. So, if you're sitting in front of a blank engagement card wondering how exactly you can show your support and love, read on for the best engagement congratulations messages that come straight from the heart!

Perhaps you writing a long, emotional engagement card to your sister, like the Drummond siblings may have for a newly-engaged Paige. Or maybe you want to send a simple congratulatory message to a friend of a friend. Either way, you'll want to start with a catchy and cute engagement message focused on their future ahead. If you want to get deeper, consider throwing in a personal anecdote about their relationship or a sentence about how they complement each other! Then, finish it off with an earnest closing, such as "Lots of Love" or "With Love." And there you have it: the perfect engagement message! Now, all that's left to do is find an equally thoughtful engagement gift to pair with it.
