Announcements - marriage announcement Church and newspapers

Announcements: is not to be confused with the statutory requirement of the ?reading? of your bans or a notice being placed to the public, instead of your wedding ceremony.

Should what media I choose?

-by map as a relief to those identified as VIP?s for the two families, prior to public announcement
-your local/gazette newspaper
-your national newspaper
-a national magazine, for example, country UK?s Country Life, Australia?s, etc.

In some cases, a full-page portrait of the Lady in question may accompany the article.

How to Word an article?

Here are some suggestions for your account.

Miss ????????, eldest daughter of Mr. & Mrs. ?????, (address), is to be married to Mr. ????????, son of Mr. & Mrs. ???????.., (address), (date).

Alternatively a date may not be granted if it has not yet been decided, or it is too early to announce. Instead, national magazine the wording can continue. For example,.

Miss ????. runs a company (or is a journalist, is the P.A. to ???etc)

Where a parent is deceased, the wording may read as follows:

Miss ????????. (name), the daughter, youngest of the late Mr. & Ms. ??????.., (address), is to be married to the eldest son of Mr. & Mrs. ????? (address).

Another option on the marriage of couple?s is:

Miss ????????... daughter of Mr. & Mrs. ????of (address), was recently married to Mr. ????...(name), son of Mr. & Mrs. ????.(name), of ?????... (address).Miss ????? here is the day of his marriage.

A marriage, a local newspaper may choose to wax lyrical. They want to know:

-How the bridal party reached the marriage ceremony
-the name of the place of the Church/marriage
-accompanied by the bride
-the number of guests
-the name of VIP?s or dealing with celebration
-How the couple met
-where the couple will be in honeymoon
-where they are to reside on their return from honeymoon

A photograph can also be provided in the document accompanying the article.

What is the cost?

This will depend on:

-If the document is local, national, or glossy paper magazine
-the coverage/flow of the document
-the length of the advertising
-If a photo is to be included

Finally, an announcement is not required, indeed many couples choose not step to a.
