Wedding Announcements

Every couple has a different idea of how to celebrate their exchange of vows. Some want everyone in the world to witness the event. And some want to keep the ceremony so intimate, it’s just between you, your spouse and a single officiant. No matter where you fall on this spectrum, now that you’ve tied the knot, you’re probably ready to shout it from the rooftops! If you’re too busy honeymooning in Bali, it’s perfectly appropriate and within the framework of good etiquette for another family member – typically a parent or parents – to send the announcement on your behalf. In this case, wording would be along the lines of this: “Mr. and Mrs. Smith have the honor of announcing the marriage of their daughter Jennifer Smith to Mr. Robert Moore – Saturday the 1st of June, 2012 in San Francisco, California.” Whether the bride and groom sends the news around or whether it comes from another family member, custom wedding announcements can be sent far and wide to share the news with friends, family members, colleagues and clients. Our easy-to-use editor lets you create exactly the look you want by letting you showcase a single gorgeous photo or a collage of pictures from the big day. A wedding announcement is also ideal to send out to friends and family members who couldn’t make the wedding celebration either because they were too ill to attend the wedding, or because you chose to have a destination wedding with coordinates too far flung for some guests. Whatever the case, you can browse our professionally designed templates to get inspired, then play with everything from layout and palette to typeface and wording. Our samples will have some great layout ideas and placeholder text that you might borrow from – or you might toss it out completely and go with your own inspiration. You can print a favorite poem, a funny quote, a poignant verse or just an exclamatory proclamation like “we did it!” Standard etiquette for wedding announcements dictates that they go in the mail the day after the wedding, but they may be sent up to several months later. No matter when they go out, everyone will love to display your gorgeous wedding announcement, which is perfectly reflective of your style as a couple, front and center on a mantel or on the fridge. After all, the next best thing to actually being present on your wedding day is catching a glimpse of your unbridled joy.
