Announcing an engagement is a big life step for any couple. It deserves a worthy celebration. However, with an online engagement card that has no limits like a Thankbox it can be tricky to know what to write that lives up to the occasion. And because a Thankbox engagement card is kept forever what you write and how will be a permanent reminder of the announcement. No pressure then! No need to panic. Here are some broad tips on writing your message and what to include: Be happy! The couple have just made a huge announcement that sets their life on a path together. Mirror their joy and you can’t go wrong. Be funny. If you know the couple well then humour is as forever as diamonds. Recall moments of their life that will have them smiling into old age.  Be personal. You have free rein to be yourself with a Thankbox. Friends, family and colleagues are all part of the tapestry of their life to date. They won’t want bland and repetitive messages that’s for sure.. Remember - no rights or wrongs. There really are no different do’s and don’ts for a virtual card compared to a paper one. Perhaps be conscious of who else is writing to avoid any potential embarrassment. Especially if mixed generations are contributing.  Toast away. In the same vein as being personal, make full use of video, images or GIFs to let them know how happy you are.  Whatever you write will no doubt be a hit. Memories are made and kept forever with a Thankbox, so hitting the note just right will be a source of great joy.
