Announcements

Stephanie, on June 22, 2019 at 7:06 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5
Hey y’all! So we recently received our invites in the mail! (YAY!) and we also wanted to do announcements. We are having a small backyard wedding and can’t afford to have more than a handful of people celebrate with us. However, we wanted to still make extended family and friends, who aren’t getting an invite, feel apart of us and not forgotten. So that’s where the announcements come in. The problem I’m having is when I try to google and find announcement templates the only things that pop up are save the dates and post wedding announcements. Any advice on this?

    Are you saying you want to send PRE wedding announcements? If so- there aren't templates probably because this is considered rude and therefore does not have much demand. Send post announcements.

    I could see where that would come across as rude. However I can also see how post announcements might seem like rude as well. FH has a very large extended family and we just want to avoid harsh feelings the best we can. I realize I can’t please everyone but just trying to find best option to remind people hey we love you and we didn’t forget about you

    Sending something that says “hey we’re getting married but you aren’t invited” isn’t going to make people feel loved or avoid harsh feelings.

    I understand- you can't please everyone, no. The best way should be post announcements imo. As Sarah said- pre wedding announcements kind of say "here's this party you aren't invited to." Whereas post announcements read more as "we wish to tell you we've married." It also gives you an out. If someone says "why didn't you send these before/tell us before" you can reply "well etiquette dictates..." and it takes the pressure off of you.
    I'd skip them all together personally and save the money on the stationary. Good luck!
