Announcing The Good
News
 You're
getting married and you can't wait to tell the world. The most
important announcement will be to your parents. This should be
done in person. If your parents live out of town try to plan a
brief visit to share your news.
Often the parents of
the bride do not know the parents of the groom. It is important
for the families to meet, as they will all want to be involved in
the wedding plans. A brief personal note or a personal phone call
is a good way to let other family members and good friends know
about your upcoming wedding.
The best way to inform everyone else is through an engagement
announcement in your hometown newspaper. This must be received by
the newspaper at least one month prior to your wedding.
Most newspapers have a
form to complete that will supply them with the necessary
information for the article. If no form is available, ask for the
life-style or society editor; they can tell you what information
that particular newspaper requires. If you would like to include a
photograph, a black and white glossy photo is best. It should be a
head to shoulder picture of the bride-to-be or of the engaged
couple. Again each newspaper differs in photograph sizes, so
contact your local paper for this information.
