A lot of people put a lot of thought into how best to announce their wedding. There are professionals out there that will provide the service for you for a nominal fee. If you are trying to do as much as you can on your own to scrimp during these lean times, you’ll want to follow these steps to ensure that you have proper wedding announcement so that as many people as possible know you just got hitched. It’s the best way to maximize the amount of wedding gifts and money you’ll receive from all of the people that want to wish you well.
If you had a small wedding you’ll want to make the announcement known to friends and acquaintances. If they weren’t invited to the wedding because of its intimate setting, they’ll still want to know that it happened, so they can express their congratulations. People’s lives are so busy these days that they can’t remember every little thing, and many times an event that you aren’t invited to tends to fall through the cracks on the “what’s important enough to remember” scale. A modest announcement will work best in this instance.
If you had a large wedding but still left out a lot of people because of budget or venue limitations then you definitely want to announce your wedding so that you cover all of your bases. You’ll want to widen your scope to include distant relatives, social acquaintances, and business contacts who you didn’t have a chance to invite. In these cases you’ll want to have formal announcements printed. These should just have it stated that the bride was married to the groom on this date. Finished!
If you want to announce your wedding in the paper that is also a good way to make sure everyone that should know, does know. Be sure to have it published about 3 weeks in advance. You’ll want to include the bride’s maiden name first, the groom’s name, the time and date of the ceremony, the name of the officiate, the names of the people in your wedding party, and their relationship to you,
You can also include a description of the bride’s dress and flowers, the bridesmaid’s dresses, and where the reception will be held. You may also choose to give details about the bride like where she went to college, what job she currently has and where the two will live after they are married. Similar information on the groom can also be submitted. Most couples opt to have a picture of the bride and groom together. If the bride will be keeping her maiden name, or hyphenating and using both names after the marriage, be sure to include this information.
