Wording Your Announcements

How to Tell Everyone Your Good News...

The engagement and wedding announcements printed in the newspaper contain as much or as little information as you would like concerning you, your fiance, and your marriage plans.

The Engagement Announcement

The engagement announcement will, at a minimum, include your and your fiance's full names, hometowns, and intended wedding date. Generally, this information is introduced by way of your parents' names, for example, Mr. and Mrs. John Smith of Washington, DC, have the pleasure of announcing the engagement of their daughter, Mary Elizabeth, to Mr. Jack Jones, son of Dr. and Mrs. Edward Jones of Boston, Massachusetts. The announcement may also include information on any higher education, current employment, and the intended date of the wedding, for example, a spring (or May) wedding is planned.

The Wedding Announcement

The wedding announcement may repeat this basic information from the engagement announcement, but will also likely include information on time and place of the wedding, officiant's name, names of attendants, description of dresses and flowers, reception and honeymoon location, and new place of residence, for example, following a trip to the Bahamas, Mr. and Mrs. Jones will reside in Bethesda, MD.
