Preserving Your Engagement Memories

Your marriage proposal is probably one of the biggest days of your life (so far). Here are some ways you can savor the special moment to share with friends and family for years to come.

• Scrapbook/Album: Even if you’re not the world’s biggest scrapbooker, there are still ways you can keep some mementos to remember your proposal and engagement. Did you get engaged on a trip? Take souvenirs from the trip, tickets, and anything else and put them into a beautiful memory box or in a pretty album or scrapbook.

• Customized Frame: Enlarge the first photo taken of you as an engaged couple and frame it. Even if you’re not photogenic, the sheer emotion and excitement will come through in the picture making it truly special. You can have the frame customized with your names and the date of the engagement.

• Video Montage: These days every camera or phone has a video camera built in. Immediately following the engagement, take video of each other recalling how he popped the question. You'll be able to share the special moment with friends. Punchbowl's engagement announcements even allow you to upload your own video so you can share the news with your own special touch!
