How to write a wedding announcement
As we approach the busy wedding time of the year and preparations get under way one of the questions on your mind might be how to write a wedding announcement.
Before you write the announcement you will have to first agree with your partner who to invite in the first place to your special day! Once you have agreed on the list of guests to include at your wedding day you will need to decide on the following for writing your wedding announcement:
- The names of the people you are inviting – If you are inviting couples always include on the invite whether or not children are to be included in your invite. Where the person that is invited is single include on the announcement if they will be able to bring a guest on the day. It is good to check with both parents about the guest list and who should and should not be invited to your wedding day.
- Your details on the announcement – It might sound obvious, but you do need to include details of you and your future husband or wife. I would always suggest you include your full names and you can include within this your parents’ names which is nice for your parents and good for the people receiving the announcement.
- Include the date of your marriage – Probably one of the most important pieces of information to include is the date you intend to get married. If you are sending the announcement out to more people than will be invited on the day (which I would suggest not to do) decide whether to include more specifics, such as the wedding time and location.
- Wedding list – you will need to decide whether you send out a wedding list to the people you are sending the announcement to, as some will want to buy you a gift at this stage.

This is pretty odd how some people forget some common sense things to put onto an invitation. Of course, there are a thousand things to get done, so not everyone’s mind is in the best place. Thanks for the reminder, useful information. =)

The very first word and sentence must be about God, because whatever is going to happen was written by God. Then you can discuss all other things. It’s my personal thinking and I hope you will consider it.
