Wedding Announcement Wording |
|
Q.
My fiancé and I are
getting married next week and are wondering about wording our
announcements. We are sending them to people we could not quite afford to
invite to our wedding. My parents are paying for the majority of the
wedding and I am keeping my maiden name. Can you give us any
suggestions?
A.
There are two ways to word the announcements.
They can be issued in your parent's names, such as
Mr. & Mrs. John Jones
are pleased to announce
the marriage of their daughter
Beth Marie
to
James Joseph Smith
on
at
Beth will be retaining her maiden
name.
The other option is for you and the groom to make
the announcement. In that instance, the wording would be
Best Marie Jones
and
James Joseph Smith
are pleased to announce that
they were united in marriage
on
at
Beth will retain her maiden name.

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:
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:
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? |

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. |
