Hip Hip Hooray Engagement Card: Crude Congratulations

Hip Hip Hooray Engagement Card shows AT FUCKING LAST HIP HIP HOORAY across the front, and the rude word is hidden under a white CENSORED sticker. That small joke tells the reader the card is cheeky on purpose. It means the engagement has been a long time coming and you are thrilled about it. It is made for anyone who has been waiting for this news and wants to celebrate out loud.

Ships with a kraft envelope; envelope color in photo may vary.

What the design shows

The main subject is the lettering itself, stacked in the middle of a plain white field. The word FUCKING is set in heavy black capitals with a soft glow, and the middle of it is covered by the white sticker that reads CENSORED in small red type. Above and below sit the lighter words AT and LAST, then HIP HIP in the same black, and finally HOORAY in a fading gradient from deep pink to pale pink. A pink diamond with light rays and a gold band sits to the right of the middle lines, so the ring and the words read together as one engagement message. The contrast of black, pink and gold keeps the card bold without clutter, and the sticker gives it a playful, mock-censored feel.

Who it was made for

This card suits the friend who has been asked about the proposal for months and finally has news to share. It also fits a coworker who spent a long lunch hearing every detail about the ring. You will notice the sticker first, then the cheerful HOORAY, and you will know right away that the card is meant to be fun. It is a good match for anyone who likes blunt humor and does not mind a bit of swearing in a greeting. Sending it to a close friend who has been your sounding board says you were part of the wait too.

As a gift and every day

The card works best for the engagement party itself, when everyone is already laughing and looking for a way to add a personal note. It is equally suited to a bridal shower, where the joke gets a laugh from the whole table. Slip it into the gift bag beside the present, or pin it to the fridge for a week so the couple sees it each morning. It also makes a fine thank you for a friend who helped plan the proposal, since the sticker and the cheerful HOORAY capture how relieved everyone felt.
