Traditional And Modern Ways Of Announcing Your Wedding

By Cathy Franklin


When it comes to weddings, there are certain traditions and practices that bridal couples may not be aware of. While this isn't entirely surprising, it should be at least expected that the couple find time to become aware of the most significant wedding etiquettes--- from engagement to the wedding celebration --- to make sure that the wedding goes orderly as it should.

One of the wedding etiquettes that bridal couples shouldn't overlook is the formal announcement of their engagement. The announcement is traditionally done by publishing a brief announcement on newspaper. Its purpose is to let everyone know about this upcoming event. Remember though that both parents of the bridal couple should've already been informed before letting everyone know about this news. Other ways of announcing this big event is by sending it electronically or by holding an engagement party.

When a bridal couple prefers newspaper announcement, they should call the feature or society editor regarding the newspaper's rules on when's the right time to publish the announcement. Normally, newspaper announcements should be published three to six months before the wedding date.

Usually, it is the bride's parents who handle the processing of the announcement. A typical newspaper announcement carries the following information: the name of the bride and groom and of their parents', their residential addresses, and the wedding date.

Bridal couples may also choose to provide an engagement portrait which will be published just below the announcement. Before, it was only the bride who was permitted to be photographed for the engagement portrait. But modern etiquette allows for the bride and the groom to be photographed together for this purpose.

Since it will be published on newspaper, it only follows that the bridal couple should seek the help of a professional photographer who deals with Wedding photography or more specifically, bridal photography. These types of wedding photographers are familiar with the requirements for capturing engagement portraits, such as how bridal couples should pose for their engagement portrait or what kind of photography style they should opt for.
