Engagement Invitation Wording

We want all our friends and extended family to celebrate our good news to our engagement party so that we can have an intimate family wedding.
How do you see that word in an invitation for engagement / wedding party before people understand that this is the only celebration that everyone will be invited to??
We do not want to disturb anyone, so that the wording is critical.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Well. . . sorry to say, but it is somehow considered inappropriate to invite people to the engagement party and not invite to the wedding.

I suggest keeping a small engagement party. Include only those invited to the wedding intimate.

Then later, after marriage. . . maybe after your return from honeymoon. . . a large informal party at your new home. Maybe a barbecue? Invite everyone to celebrate with you then.

(Keep it simple.)

We are delighted to invite our friends and family to celebrate together our future for our engagement party (wedding will be an intimate family ceremony). Please join us (on such and such a date and place, time, etc.), let's have some fun!

It is a difficult word to lol, but I'm sure everyone will understand.

What you do (or try to do) is inappropriate. I have the impression that you want your guests to know "it is your only chance to give me a gift."

You should not discuss what you are doing in the future on an invitation engagement. An invitation commitment is not a forum. And what will you do if you change your wedding plans, that many engaged couples do?

If someone asks about your wedding plans, and I am sure some people just say "an intimate family wedding is planned." Is that all your guests need to know. And if they want to give you a gift they will.

This is not a good idea to invite people to an engagement party, then do not invite to your wedding. People who attend premarital expected to go to weddings, they go together.

My best advice is to only invite people to your engagement party that you plan to have at your wedding.

Or, simply send notices of appointment which do not involve anyone attending a party.

I want to tell everyone on the websites I found for a participation invitations. These sites

Plus they have lots of ideas wording verses and sayings to help you.

The thing I liked most about these sites is that I could find the picture I wanted, then add my personalized message using the ink color, typeface and font I wanted, and then instantly preview my new card. WOW, is that cool! They also printed and shipped my order the same day I ordered. I could not find anywhere else on the Internet that did it. They are great!

Here's the thing, most people do not know what an engagement party really is. An engagement party is supposed to be the case if your engagement is announced to your friends and family (with the exception of your immediate family should already know). Mo.
