Wedding Announcements versus Wedding Invitations
Many
couples have small, intimate ceremonies which can't accommodate large guest
lists, but the bride and groom will still want to announce their marriage to
their loved ones. Another great use for announcements is when you want to make
professional colleagues, casual acquaintances, or extended family members who
were not invited to the wedding aware that your name has changed. In these cases, an announcement should be
sent in lieu of an invitation.

You can actually also choose to use any
type of wedding invitation but will want to use specific wording to
transform it into an announcement.
Don't worry about people mistaking your wedding announcement for
an invitation to your wedding. You will
wait to send the announcements until the day of the actual wedding or the day
after. You will also use specific wording to make the announcement clear.
Here is one suggestion for wording your announcements if your
parents hosted the wedding:
Mr. and Mr. Bruce
Thompson
have the honour of
announcing
the marriage of their
daughter
Sarah Michelle
to
Mr. Michael Dean Slater
on Friday, the fifteenth
of December
Two thousand and seven
St. Mary's Cathedral
Bellingham, Washington
If you
and your groom want to announce your marriage yourselves, you might say
something like this:
Sarah
Michelle Thompson
and
Michael Dean Slater
happily announce
their marriage
Friday, the fifteenth
of December
