Wedding announcements are an appropriate way
to notify those whom you did not invite to your wedding but who have reason to be
interested in your nuptial news. Announcements may be issued by both the bride and
the groom, or either of their parents. The wording is similar to that on a wedding
invitation, except that "have the pleasure to announce" appears in place of
"requests the pleasure of your company". Be sure to put
these in the mail either on the day of the wedding or right after. Never send an
announcement before the wedding.
You may enclose at home cards with your
announcements. These will give out your new address after the marriage, the date you will
be in residence and an indication of your new name. At home cards can be ordered at
your stationary store and should be worded as follows:
Mr. and Mrs. Randall Jones
or
Stacy Marie Hancock
and
Randall Jones
After the fifth of July
456 Stanbury Lane
Everett Washington 98277

Advice:
We would like to send
out wedding announcements to our friends that will not be at the
wedding. We thought that including a wallet-size wedding picture
would be nice. However, the pictures will not be developed until
a month after the wedding. Is this too late to send the
announcements out? |
|
|
Advice:
should the announcements be just from the newly weds or from the parents like
the invitations?
Should they include the elopement date and place?
Since they do not receive mail at their home, should
only their PO box be mentioned; if so, how? |

Advice:
We are having a private family wedding. After the wedding we will
send wedding announcements. How do we word our return address? |
|
|
Advice:
I would like to announce the engagement of my son and his fiancé to
friends and old neighbors who I haven't spoken to in a while. This does
not mean that they will be invited to a wedding,
(cost prohibitive,) it's simply to let them know
that they are engaged. Is this proper? |
|

Advice:
The Groom's father is deceased. We would like to include groom's
father's name. is it better to include "at home card" or just state"...now
reside at.." |

|
Advice:
We cannot invite
all of our friends to the wedding and reception. Are announcements for
friends and family who live far away (an acceptable thing to do?) Are announcements for friends who live in the vicinity of the church
rude? When should announcements be sent out? |

Advice:
Wording: Las Vegas Wedding:
We are having a reception one week
later in our home town. People are more than welcome to join us in Las
Vegas, but I don't want them to feel like we are asking them, but the option is
there. I was wondering if I should include the wedding ceremony
information as well as the reception information. |

invite to our wedding. I am keeping my maiden name. Can you give us any
