A shopper has asked for cards with the following text on the front of the card: "Happy Betrothal".  If possible they would like the inner verse to include a message about the importance of betrothal.  
 
Betrothal is a formal state of engagement to be married.  For more info click here:

These cards can be added to the Occasions » Congratulations » Engagement category.  
 

I have several waiting

OK this is a little bit off topic, a little bit on, and I admit it's a bit early here ...
but when I saw this topic in my e-mail at 5AM ... at first I thought it said ..
 
A new topic: Brothel Greeting Cards  
 
Well of course I shook my head and did a double take ... then I had a really good laugh at myself.  I mean I do think some of the specific categories you say folks are looking for get really, really, silly but I thought Brothel Greeting Cards were a tad over the top.
 
Now that I realize it says Betrothal which, while related in some aspects, is a completely different thing, I do have some real questions.
 
I don't think I've ever seen a Betrothal Greeting Card before and I was wondering what is the correct way of wording that?  "Happy Betrothal" sure doesn't sound like it and there is that whole thing about you do not congratulate the Bride.  It's congrats to the Groom and best wishes to the Bride, right?  Is there the same sort of etiquette distinction for the Betrothal?  Should there be separate male and female cards ... or should they all be couple cards?
 
In my mind this is an instance where I would get a blank card and try to write something thoughtful and personal.  Ya know, a from the heart kinda thing.  But then again ... I was the goof who wrote a poem for my nephew and neice to include with my RSVP for their wedding.  I'd love to put that in a card, it would be perfect for a betrothal, but it is too many characters for the inside of your cards and I don't think long verse makes a good front image for a card.  It would be nice to be able to lay it out as an inside image on the left side of a card ... hint hint hint???
 
My Chinese "love" cards would be nice cards for a betrothal.  Would it be wrong to recategorize some of those?  Or use the same cards in that category?
 
I dunno ... sometimes these specific cards folks seem to ask for really seem like the McD's approach to sending your wishes ... lets see what we can pull off the dollar menu.  Then again I've been known to way over think things ... like writing a poem when a simple RSVP was expected.  
 
BTW Wikipedia has a nice little article on Brothels too.  Never know, they might be fun cards too.  "Congrats on opening your 10th Brothel" ... "Good luck in your new position at the Brothel" ... hey there are already tons of limericks to put inside.  
 
I sure hope people have a good sense of humor here.    

Harry-
lol- I did a double take on that one myself- it has been a coon's age since I heard anyone use that expression because it was basically replaced by engagements. But to each his own I guess. I appreciated the thought you put into it though. lol Enjoyed reading your thoughts on the subject!    
Thanks
Tammy

LOL, HARRY>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Hi Linda and Rosanne,  
 
Ahhhh ... see people do have a sense of humor around here ... part of me was wondering.
 
Here's the best part Rosanne ... THAT typo would be one that spell check wouldn't catch ... LOL
 
Hmmmm ... betrothal ... brothel ... I guess that is a pretty big stretch for a typo ... fingers would really have to be confused.
