My FI and I got engaged May 14th, and we are waiting to have the wedding until June 2012 so that I can finish school. We currently live in south Texas, are getting married in our hometown Buffalo NY and have tons of family all over the US. We want to do an announcement but since not everyone reads or has access to the Buffalo newspaper I was thinking about sending actual announcements in the mail. We dont have an excat date set yet. I was wondering what ideas are out there for us? Also do they have to go to people who are going to be invited? There are some family members that I would like to tell we are engaged but I know they wouldn't be able to make it to the wedding (for financial and physical reasons) but thought it would be nice to share our news. Just looking for some ideas! Thanks
