Wedding
announcements are sent to any far away relatives, friends
or any guests whom you could not invite to your wedding. You do not have to send them - some feel as though
they are soliciting for gifts. Wedding announcements
are similar to newspaper announcements, except that you are
directing this happy news to specific people who will
share in your happiness.

If
you've already established a career using your maiden name and are
now changing your name, send an announcement to your colleagues to let them know of the change in
your name.

A
wedding announcement is worded like a wedding invitation. The wording of the announcement should have the same level
of formality as the wedding invitation itself. The bride and groom or their parents can announce the
wedding. Example:
|
|
|
|
If the parents make
the announcement:
|
|
|
Mr.
and Mrs. Robert Smith
have the honor to announce
the marriage of their daughter
(or "announce the marriage of their daughter")
Mary Ann
to
James Alan Nelson
Saturday, the fifth of May
Two Thousand Two
St. Mary's Church
Providence, Rhode Island
|
|
|
|
If
the bride and groom make the announcement:
|
|
|
Mary
Ann Smith
and
James Alan Nelson
(or James and Mary Nelson)
announce their marriage
Saturday, the fifth of May
Two Thousand Two
St. Mary's Church
Providence, Rhode Island

|
|
You can send the
announcements out the night before your wedding or else have a
family member or friend send them out the day after your wedding.
