Broken engagement...?

I would just say, By the way I just wanted to tell you my engagement is off..things just didn't work out and I really don't feel like talking about it ! and of course they will say oh, I'm sorry etc..and then just change the subject and say..so how are you doing, whats new...

I don't think they will pry into it farther and if they do just say maybe later down the road I will feel like talking but I just don't right now and I hope you understand.

If you have to send it out in cards. Just say The engagement is off and we are not getting married, Thanks for all your best wishes and support you have given to me. Keep it simple.

This is From me to you

I'm sorry and wish you well..and as the old saying goes "everything happens for a reason" take care and I wish you happiness

Let a few key family members know the basic information, and have them spread the word. You are going through enough right now and having the sit down and call everyone and tell them is going to be too hard for you. Your family members and friends should be able to do this for you.

And there is no need for you to go into details. If people ask, you should just say "I'm still reeling from the situation and I'm not really ready to talk about it, but maybe sometime in the future I'll be ready to share. But thank you for your concern."

Send a note to those who received the Save the Date saying:

We regret to inform you that the engagement of Miss So and So and Mr. So and So has been broken by mutual consent.

The end. Leave it at that. If people ask, as I'm sure they will, just tell them things didn't work out. You are not obligated to let the whole world know the details.

oh thats a shame. To be honest its no bodies business although some may enquire. Just say as you see people that you are no longer together.

Or when you get a new one just turn up with him to a family occation. They should get the message lol

Unless you had a date set and invites out then you need to contact people and just say sorry we have decided not to take the relationship further. I am sure they will all be happy you are not going to make a big mistake.

Hope that helps

Send out a card indicating that the wedding of August has been cancelled.

If the wedding was already planned and everything, and people were invited, it will be more difficult. If it's the opposite, then who cares. They do not NEED to know all the details, and just tell them that if they insist on asking.

Simply state, in a note to all the invited guests, "This is to inform you that x and y are no longer engaged. No condolences are necessary as this was a mutual decision, Thank you"

Even if it wasn't mutual, it is only necessary for immediate family to know the truth. Your whole extended family doesn't need to know, and honestly shouldn't know all the details.

John and I wish to announce that our wedding has been canceled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Thank you for your kind thoughts during this difficult time.

Send it to everyone on the save the date list, plus the b list.

Good luck.

Don't wear the ring.

Just say unfortunately things didn't work out and you're glad you came to your senses before, not after the wedding.

Bad news or sad news tends to spread even faster than good news. Once you tell one or two 'mouthy' friends you won't have to explain it over and over.

my idea is,you can try to say nicely that you dont want to explain the whole process and try to stay away from the crowd for the time being.keep a low profile and maybe consider asking someone to help you break the ice on behalf of you.i hope this helps but as i said, this is just an idea.=Dgoodluck
