11 PSD Wedding Announcement Templates
For couples who have a rich and active social life, spreading the news about their engagement and wedding is a must. Hence, they have to create and use wedding announcement templates to tell the world of this exciting and happy news.
Who to send wedding announcements to
Telling people about your new marital status may be done fashionably by sending wedding announcements to people who were not invited to your wedding program ceremony or reception. This is a formal and respectful way to inform them. Examples of people you may need to send a wedding announcement to are work colleagues, college friends, and extended family members. These are the people whom you are not close and who did not get into the wedding guest list but will benefit from the knowledge that you have taken a marriage vow. It is not mandatory to send wedding announcement cards. But if you feel obliged to do so, then go for it.
Why create wedding announcements?
As mentioned earlier, it is not mandatory to send out wedding announcements. But some couples may find themselves in a unique position that will require them to send out that announcement on attractive card designs. Here are a few reasons why you may need to use wedding announcement cards:
- You eloped or had a very small wedding attended only by your closest friends and relatives. If you and your significant other eloped or had a very private wedding ceremony, you may need to send wedding announcements to the people who were not invited. This allows your guests to know that you did not mean to be disrespectful about your wedding ceremony choices but that you preferred a more intimate ceremony. Most people are understanding of these situations and will be happy to hear about your wedding news.
- To inform other friends, family members, relatives, and colleagues of your wedding. If you have friends, extended relatives, and colleagues who did not receive a wedding invitation card or a wedding Save the Date card, you may consider sending them wedding announcement cards as a form of courtesy. Doing this also allows you to spread the news about your wedding. Also, take note that wedding announcements are only sent to those who did not receive a wedding invitation or Save the Date card.
- To allow guests to prepare for the wedding. Another reason for using wedding announcement cards is to allow your guests to prepare for your wedding. In cases where wedding announcement cards are sent after a wedding occurs, an announcement card lets them know that they may still send out congratulatory gifts to the new couple. But the latter is often a frowned-upon practice.
- To formally announce your name change to your colleagues. Lastly, you may need to use wedding announcement cards if you want a formal way to announce your name change. This is often done by brides who wish to take on their husband’s last name.
Just like there is an etiquette guide for writing wedding invitations, there is also a guide for writing wedding announcements like the one above. Read and internalize these tips so that you will not be committing any wedding faux pas.
