Guidelines For Wedding Announcements
by Hana Lee
Getting married is one of the most exciting things that a
person can do. While the process of planning and executing a
wedding ceremony takes a lot of time and attention to detail,
once it’s all over it is obvious that all of the stress
involved was well worth it. Once the wedding is done, however,
there are still a few details that should be looked after.
Wedding announcements fall into this category.
Wedding announcements are intended to let people know that you
are now married. The responsibility for creating them typically
falls upon the bride or her family and there are a number of
ways of completing wedding announcements.
Newspaper wedding announcements are quite common. If you choose
to announce your wedding in the local newspaper, you’ll want to
contact the offices of the publication for information on how
to do this. Check the paper’s wedding page as well since many
newspapers print their guidelines for wedding announcements
right there. Different publications will have different ways of
going about this, so it’s important to look into each one if you
plan to submit wedding announcements to more than one newspaper.
Some papers charge a nominal fee to publish wedding
announcements and some will do it for free. Some will also
print photographs with the announcement if you so desire.
Again, check with the individual publication to see what they
will and won’t do.
The information to include in a newspaper wedding announcement
will depend on how much you want to print and how much the
paper is willing to print. Some papers will ask that the bride
fill out a simple form, others will ask that the information
simply be submitted. Some of the information that you will want
to consider including is the bride’s full name, the names of the
bride’s parents and their place of residence (the city or town,
not their street address), the names of the bride’s
grandparents (both sides of the family), what school or college
the bride attends or graduated from, the bride’s occupation, the
name of the groom and his place of residence, the names of the
groom’s parents and their place of residence, the occupations
of the groom’s parents, names of the groom’s grandparents
(again, on both sides), where the groom attended school or
college, the groom’s occupation, and details about the wedding
itself such as the date and location, the names of those in the
wedding party and their relationships (if any) to the bride or
groom, where the couple has gone for their honeymoon, and any
other information you may deem pertinent or interesting.
Personal wedding announcements are also appropriate to send.
These will typically be sent in the names of the bride’s
parents and will go to friends, relatives, and acquaintances
who were not invited to the wedding itself. It is customary to
send these wedding announcements immediately following the
wedding date. If the wedding were held on, say, Saturday the
first, the wedding announcements should be in the mail on
Monday the third.
