A personal letter is very informal and warm. This is a form of how you share your personal feelings about a certain event such as an engagement to someone close to you. How can you share such good news? Of course, write a personal letter. When you write a personal letter, you may include pertinent information like the date, time and venue. Do it in a conversational tone like they are just in front of you.

Thank you to the technology because you can make a personal letter through email which your receiver can get it in just seconds. You do not have to worry if they will not get it on time or will be lost in the post office.

Some announcements can also be done in a website and then send a link to the people whom you want to read the announcement. Although, keep in mind as well that there are members of your family or friends who are not technology savvy. You have to know those people whom you need to write a personal letter using the traditional way.

An example of a personal letter is announcing an engagement of your child. It is very personal and an important milestone for your child and your family. Such event is very special that you want it to announce to your relatives and friends. Here’s an example of a personal letter announcing an engagement.

Dearest Chris,

Hope this letter finds you well. How are you?

I’m writing to share with you a very joyful event from our family. This calls for a celebration for our entire family. Our daughter, Jane was asked by her long time boyfriend, John Smith to get married this coming year.

John asked Jane last week over dinner and they are planning to have a party for close family and friends to celebrate the wonderful occasion.

In such wonderful event, we would like you and your family to be part of it. Here are the details:

December 19, 2010, 7:00 pm at Spaghetti Home’s, 103 Sicilian Drive, Washington DC.

I hope that you and your family can attend this very special and personal event in our lives.

I look forward seeing you on December 19.

Sincerely,
Lino and Linda Kent
