Convey your heartfelt wishes with a poem.

Selecting the right engagement poem depends on the personality of the couple. Types of engagement poems include:

• Traditional: Classic poems about love and marriage by famous poets and modern poems about engagement and marriage are traditional engagement poems. Traditional poems generally use formal language and poetry formats such as ballad stanza, tercets or couplets.
• Informal: Informal engagement poems usually use modern language and are sometimes more intimate than traditional poetry. Poetry formats are not as rigid. Free form and prose poems are common.
• Humor: Some couples enjoy humorous engagement poems. This type of poem should congratulate the couple in an upbeat and light-hearted manner that celebrates marriage.

If you do not know the couple well, ask someone close to the couple for advice when selecting the poem.

You find many creative ways to congratulate a newly engaged couple with poetry. Engagement poems make great gifts alone or accompanied by a present. Once you select a poem, you can present it to the couple in the following ways:

• Card: Make a card with a greeting card software program or from scratch. Scrapbooking supply stores carry many materials suitable for cardmaking. Write the poem as the main message in the card.
• Gift basket: Copy the poem onto decorative paper and place it in a gift basket.
• Engraved picture frame: Make the poem a part of the gift. Engrave the poem onto a picture frame. The couple can place a special photo of their choice in the frame.
• Matching engraved bracelets: Unisex silver bracelets are in fashion. Engrave a short poem onto matching silver bracelets for the couple.
• Scrapbook: Buy a starter scrapbook for the couple and copy the poem onto the first page. The couple can use the scrapbook to record special engagement, wedding and honeymoon memories.
• Newspaper message: Publish a congratulatory message along with the poem to the couple in the newspaper.
• Cake: Commission a cake with a short poem on it for the couple. This type of cake works well for engagement parties.
• Singing telegram: Send a singing telegram to recite the poem to the couple.

Instead of selecting a published poem, you can write an engagement poem for the couple. Here are some ideas to help you write an engagement poem:

• Names: Write a poem beginning each section with the first letters of each of the couple's names, until you spell out their names. You can also do this just the groom's last name since it is their future family name.
• Relationship chronology: Talk about the way the couple met and fell in love in the poem.
• Marriage advice: The poem can also provide advice for a happy marriage.
