When it comes time to write your marriage announcement you will find that is a bit more difficult than you originally thought. A marriage announcement, just like a wedding invitation has a certain etiquette that must be followed. This is the first step in announcing your engagement and it should include all the feelings that you are experiencing! Marriage and engagements are so exciting and filled with happiness that your marriage announcement should be filled with these feelings!
You may think, how can you write an announcement with feelings? This is something that can be learned within seconds! The first thing to think about is which one of you is going to be putting the announcement in the paper? You want to avoid having two announcements in the paper about your engagement; no one wants to read that twice! Once this decision has been made the next decision should have to do with the actual writing of the announcement. If you want to do this yourself, that is great! A common decision that is taking place more and more is that a professional writer is hired to write your announcement for you. For the reason you don’t trust yourself to do it, or you do not have the time. Either way, this is an effective way to have our engagement announcement completed with perfection.
If you are going to write it yourself, which most people do, than it is time to get started! It is important that you include your parents as well as your partner’s parents. The most common and effective way to do this is begin with a “Let’s congratulate..” or a phrase like this and then follow with the details of who is getting married. You want an eye catching title that will make people want to read your announcement. You want the readers to be as excited about your engagement as you are. After this great beginning you begin to mention yourself, parents and your fiancé and their parents. Once you have mentioned these important people it is time to close your announcement with either a date for the wedding or a humorous anecdote is always great. As long as you end your engagement announcement on a high note, you have written yourself a successful announcement!
