Announcing Their Engagement On Newspaper: Is It Still Important?

By Stephanie Wales


Wedding is one of the ceremonies that is rooted in tradition. However, this fact isn't always a guarantee that bridal couples will be completely aware of all the practices that they should observe for their marriage ceremony. This happens when the the bride and the groom don't belong to the same culture, nationality, or religion. But of course this is not an excuse for them to not know at least the most significant wedding practices.

An important wedding etiquette that bridal couples should not miss doing is the public announcement of their engagement. After informing the parents of the engaged couple and getting their approval, the next thing to do is to inform everyone they know about this news. This is traditionally done by publishing it on newspaper. Other options that bridal couples have today include sending the announcement through email or by holding an engagement party.

When the bridal couple goes for the traditional way, they should call the newspaper's feature or society editor to ask the right time to publish the announcement. Newspaper editors accept notifications three to six months before the wedding day.

Official announcements are usually processed by the bride's parents. Typical newspaper announcements carries information like the names of the bridal couples and of their parents', their permanent addresses and the wedding date.

Some engaged couples choose to have an engagement portrait in the announcement. Before, it was only the bride who was allowed to be photographed for the engagement portrait. But today both the bride and the groom are allowed to pose together for this purpose.

Obviously, bridal couples need the service of a professional photographer who deals with wedding photography or more specifically, bridal photography. These types of wedding photographers are already familiar of the ins and outs of photographing engagement portraits. Thus, couples can be guaranteed that they'll make the right pose for their engagement portrait or get the kind of photography style that is right for their personality.
