I thought about doing engagement announcements too. I think my future MIL was hinting around for us to put it in the paper lol. But I just kindly told her that if we decide to put anything in the paper, it'll probably be our marriage announcement once the wedding has taken place. When we first got engaged, I told our closest friends and family personally. I think we'll have some save-the-date photo cards made at walmart, and that will let everyone else (more distant relatives) know that we've obviously gotten engaged lol. Speaking of which ~ when should I send out save-the-dates?
