Announcing Your Marriage With Wedding Announcements

Announcing Your Marriage With Wedding Announcements
By Sarah Porterand Patti Paz

Wedding announcements may seem like a chore for the bride but they are an absolute must. They tell people of the big day, especially those that weren't invited to the ceremony or reception. These don't have to be elaborate letters, just a small wedding announcement card that lets people celebrate in your union. The newspaper may run the notice, but you also want to send a method that is a bit more personal and unique.

When writing the personalized wedding announcements you want to include a few of the basics such as the names of the bride and groom and their families, especially their parents, the date and location of the wedding, the name of the officiate who performed the ceremony, names of those who stood up for the bride and groom, what music was played at the ceremony, and details pertaining to the reception. This is all information that can be written on a small wedding card.

You can add more to the announcements to make them even more unique. Any aspect of the ceremony that was different from others can be included. If the groom is Scottish and wore a kilt, for example, that is a great detail for the cards. Where the bride and groom are headed for the honeymoon, and what they will be doing afterwards, is great information to include. The announcements can be summed up with thoughts of thanks expressed from the bride and groom to anyone who made that day truly special.

After announcements have been sent, many of the recipients send gifts to congratulate the couple. These gifts should always receive wedding thank you cards. These can be on the same stationery to keep with the theme.

Many people choose to keep the announcements and wedding thank you cards within the same theme of the wedding. This may mean selecting the same colors and using the same formality. If the wedding was held in a church, the stationery should be very formal. If it was a beach wedding, they can be a bit more casual and the stationery can even have a different texture, such as that of sand.

The wordings, verses or sayings are very important when sending out wedding announcements and wedding thank you cards. There are many quotes pertaining to marriage and it's a good idea to keep the same wordings for both. Something such as, "it's a true blessing to marry your best friend."

Wedding announcements cards are a wonderful way to allow everyone to feel included in your wedding. They may seem like one more tiny detail that needs to be included in the many different types. However, they are an important detail and many will thank you for writing them.
