Verses for engagement announcement cards can be very helpful in conveying a message of love and devotion when announcing your engagement to family and friends, or even a welcome addition to the wedding invitations themselves. Wedding and engagement announcements often benefit from the use of poetic or Biblical verses. Following are some perfect verses for engagement announcement cards.
Sample Bible Verses
People have been using Bible verses for an announcement card for ages. When discussing marriage and engagement, there are several verses in the King James version of the bible that are beautiful. Perhaps the most popular verses come from I Corinthians 13. It is quoted here from the New International Version which uses the word “love” rather than the King James’ use of ‘charity.’
"Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."
Sample Poetic Verses
Poetry and love go together like Romeo and Juliet and people have been using famous poetic verses for an announcement card for almost as long as they’ve been using Biblical ones. The words of Emily Dickenson, Robert Frost, Elizabeth Barrett Browning and others have graced countless announcements on cards and in the newspaper. Following are some examples.
Make thee another self for love of me,
That beauty still may live in thine or thee. – Shakespeare
I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! – Elizabeth Barrett Browning
Choosing verses for your announcements needn’t be difficult. The Internet has countless sites devoted to quotations, biblical research, and poetry. There are also pre-created announcement verses you can buy. Or, be creative and come up with your own verses. Selecting the best wording for your announcement or invitation needn’t take long, but should be looked at as seriously as selecting the diamond engagement ring. With a little research it can be very easy to find the perfect verses for engagement announcement cards.
