Why Bridal Couples Should Announce Their Engagement On Newspaper

By Cathy Franklin


One thing that people from different cultures have in common is the celebration of weddings. But despite this common observance of weddings, it cannot be denied that each culture and race has its own ways of celebrating a wedding. This is why it is understandable when bridal couples may not be aware of all the practices they should observe before, during, and after the wedding. But of course they can always spend time knowing the basic and most important wedding etiquettes.

One of the wedding etiquettes that engaged couples should not forget observing is the formal announcement of their engagement. Once the parents of the engaged couple have been informed, the next thing to do is to spread this news to the public. Announcement of engagements is traditionally done by publishing it on newspaper. Today, engaged couples have other options like sending the announcement electronically or arranging an engagement party.

If the bridal couple chooses the traditional method, they should immediately call the newspaper's feature or society editor to ask about its policies on when they should publish the announcement. Newspapers usually accept notifications three to six months before the wedding date.

Newspaper announcements are usually handled by the parents of the bride. A typical newspaper announcement consists of the names of the bride and groom and of their parents', as well as 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 allowed to be photographed for the engagement portrait. But contemporary etiquette allows for the bridal couple to be photographed together for this purpose.

Since the announcement will be published on newspaper, it only follows that the bridal couple should seek the service of a professional photographer who deals with Wedding photography or more specifically, bridal photography. These kinds of wedding photographers are familiar with the requirements for capturing engagement portraits, such as how the bride and groom should pose for this kind of photograph or what kind of photography style they should opt for.
