Why You Should Announce Your Engagement On Newspaper

By Stephanie Wales


One thing that people from different cultures share in common is the celebration of weddings. However the similarity ends there knowing that each culture and race has its distinct ways of holding a wedding ceremony. This is why it is understandable when bridal couples may not be familiar 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.

Among the wedding etiquettes that bridal couples must do is the public announcement of their engagement. Traditionally, the public announcement is done by publishing it on newspaper. The formal announcement must be done after the parents of the bridal couple have been informed. Public announcement is done to make everyone aware of this upcoming event. Today's bridal couples may also choose to announce it by sending emails or by holding an engagement party. However, some people believe that informing everyone via email a bit informal.

When a bridal couple opts for the traditional mode of public announcement, they should ask the feature or society editor regarding their policies on this matter. Normally, this kind of public announcement are published three to six months before the date of the wedding.

Traditionally, the bride's parents are the ones in charge of the public announcement. The information that this kind of announcement carries includes the names of the engaged couple and of their parents', as well as their permanent addresses, and the date of the wedding.

The announcement may have an engagement portrait printed just below it. Engagement portraits in the past show only a picture of the bride. But these days engagement portraits contain a photo of the bride and the groom 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 kinds of wedding photographers are already familiar of the requirements for capturing engagement portraits. Hence, couples can be guaranteed that they'll make the right pose for this kind of photograph or get the kind of photography style that's right for their personality.
