Engagement Annoucement Ideas

So, it's been two weeks since I got engaged (eeek! so excited). and I am having trouble with ideas for an announcement. and word of mouth has extended to people I didn't think to tell them myself  :\ I'd really like to send something so people aren't left out and know that I have thought of them. I want to do an adorable postcard maybe? but I don't think anyone besides me would hang on to them, so maybe something a little more practical? I have seen on wedding blogs people doing a video announcement and emailing it on. Oh, I just really don't know. Would it alright to do a postcard in the same theme of the STD's and Invites and such? or is there a better way? What did my fellow Seattle brides do let their loved ones know(you know, the ones who didn't get a phone call or find out immediately in person)?

    We didn't do announcements, but I think any of your ideas would be fine. Probably postcards are a pretty standard way to go :o)

    Word of mouth works fine, after all, you can't honestly call everyone you know just to say "Hey! I'm engaged!" The people that you love and that you tell first will be excited enough to share your news. If you feel like sending something out, I agree with Becca, postcards are probably the way to go. Have fun, and congrats!

    We didn't announce our engagement officially other than changing our status on facebook 2 months after we got engaged. We'd been together so long at that point, I wanted to hold onto the intimacy of only a very few people knowing about our engagement for a little while. :)

    I don't think you really have to announce engagements anymore unless you're planning on doing an engagement party, if you feel you're doing it cause it's polite. :)

    I did email my college friends about it personally and called a few people.

    Thank you for the insight ladies. Since it is not really the standard now, I might have to go with the fiance on this one, he didn't care if we sent out announcements.  I will just save all those adorable paper choices for the STD's later on.  :D
