How to Write a Engagement Announcment

There are a few certain things that need to be included into an engagement announcement.

First there needs to be the names of those who are getting married, and their parent's names. It is important to put where the parents live because then people reading the newspaper will know why. Also putting where the ones getting married are living at the moment. A picture of the couple would be a great touch, and readers will like to see.

Having a little biographical blurb about the bride and groom is a good thing because it lets the reader get to know a little bit about their lives and how the couple met. In this section there will be the schools they attended, and what their current occupations are. It will let the reader know what the bride and groom have done with their lives. Most people will want to know where they will live and what they plan on doing after the wedding as well.

Giving the details of the wedding can be very important. Maybe if an old friend saw this and wanted to go to the ceremony to congratulate the couple they would be able to know where and when it is. If you give everyone the date and time of the wedding then you would also need to add in what people should wear. Not all weddings are the same attire, and it is important to know what to wear.

If the town is small there are some other important details to add. The officiant's name, names of the family members in the wedding, names of those in the wedding parties, and where the reception is. All of these are interesting to people who know the family well.

An engagement announcement is really to ones own discretion, however there are some important things that need to be involved. They should not be too long, and too intense so no one wants to read it. However it needs to be informative, and not leave the reader with questions to ask.
