My fiancé and I are having a private wedding ceremony with just us, our parents and each others siblings. My question how do you announce the marriage to the rest of our family? We aren't having a reception. Do we just send an announcement after we are married or do you do it before and say your getting married in a private ceremony? Suggestions please.

I would send an announcement with a picture of you two at the ceremony saying "just married".

A post-wedding announcement is fine. Vistaprint had quite a few wedding announcements when I was last on there

Send the announcement after. Otherwise it comes off as rubbing it in their faces that they are not invited.

FH and I are having a private ceremony with just our immediate family, but we are having a reception. Because you're not, I would definitely send the announcement after.

You need to treat your ceremony guests to dinner and drinks to thank them for attending your ceremony.

OP never said she wasn't treating the guests to dinner her question was how to announce the marriage to others. I agree with @Fitz. If you feel it's necessary to make an announcement, just send a card with your photo.
