When you plan to use an engagement verse on an engagement announcement, you want a short but eloquent line of poetry. The most important information in the announcement is the wedding news and there may not be room for an entire engagement poem. You use an entire engagement poem in an engagement party invitation or as part of a gift to your fiancé.

Verses is the term to refer to a line of poetry from a longer poem, a famous quote or a one line poem. However, some Internet sites that provide engagement poems also use the term verses to describe entire poems.

Common types of engagement verses are the following:

• Romantic: Romantic verses are about love and describe a couple's devotion.
• Celebratory: These type of verses celebrate engagement, weddings and marriage.
• Humorous: Verses are funny and light hearted but in good taste. When using humor, be careful not to accidentally insult someone.

Here are some ideas on how to use verses on engagement announcement cards:

• Place the verse on the card in a way that it enhances the card like a design element but does not take away from the words of the announcement. The bottom of a single-sided card or the left side of a two-fold card are two common placements for verses.
• Print out a keepsake card with the engagement verse and mail it with the announcement card to family and friends.
• Write your own verse using the first letters of your name and your fiancé's names to create an original short poem.
• Place a copy of the engagement announcement in a silver frame and have the frame engraved with the engagement verse. Present the framed announcement as a gift for your fiancé.
