Filmy-ishtyle
Here is an idea that is cool and quirky. Pick a Bollywood movie that you and your beloved can relate to, preferably one about love and weddings. Now look for its poster and replace the actor and actress on the poster with a photograph of you and your beloved. We are sure you will find a software that will make your task easy. Once this is done, scribble some text announcing your engagement.
Our favourite picks are- Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Maine Pyar Kiya, Vivah or Band Baaja Baaraat. You can also go for something like Tanu Weds Manu, and replace 'Tanu' and 'Manu' in the title with your names. Sounds exciting, right? Once done, just email this to your friends or post it on your social networking profile.

Photoshop a photo showing your engagement rings and in the text give headlines about getting engaged and upcoming wedding.
PS: Do not use names of any sports or women magazines, get creative with the titles. If you are looking for something filmy and totally apt, we suggest BollywoodShaadis!
