How To Do The Formal Announcement Of Your Wedding

By Stephanie Wales


Wedding is one of the celebrations that is rooted in tradition. However, this fact is not always a guarantee that bridal couples will be completely familiar with all the practices that are observed before, during and after the wedding ceremony. This happens when the bridal couple don't share the same culture, nationality, or religion. But of course this is not an excuse for them to overlook the most important wedding practices.

One of the most important wedding etiquettes that bridal couples must observe is the formal announcement of their engagement. Usually, the news is announced by publishing it on newspaper. This is to inform everyone they know about their upcoming wedding. But of course bridal couples should inform their parents first before doing the public announcement. Some bridal couples these days choose to spread the news by sending an email or by holding an engagement party.

When the bridal couple goes for the traditional method, they should call the newspaper's feature or society editor to ask the right time to publish the announcement. Usually, newspaper editors accept notifications three to six months before the wedding day.

Usually, it is the parents of the bride who coordinate with the newspaper editor to make the official announcement possible. A typical announcement contain information like the name of the engaged couple and of their parents', their permanent addresses, and the wedding date.

Some engaged couples prefer to have an engagement portrait below the announcement. Before, it was only the bride who was allowed to be photographed for the engagement portrait. But today the bridal couple are allowed to be photographed together for this purpose.

Obviously, bridal couples need the help of a professional photographer who deals with wedding photography or more specifically, bridal photography. These kinds of wedding photographers are already familiar of the requirements for capturing engagement portraits. Hence, couples can be guaranteed that they'll make the right pose for this kind of photograph or get the kind of photography style that is right for their personality.
