Weddings - How to tell family about our private marriage
Expert: Wendy Wuitschick - 1/31/2008
Question My fiance and I will be married at the city hall on Valentine's Day. We've been engaged for three years and have two children under age two. We may have a big ceremony and reception if we renew our vows sometime in the future but, for now, we want only each of our parents to attend and act as witnesses.
Although neither of us have a big family, we are both very close with our grandparents. What is an appropriate way to tell our grandparents and aunts and uncles that we're marrying/married? We've talked about mailing announcements to arrive the day of or after. Is this appropriate? If so, do you have any suggestions for the wording of such an announcement? We will be paying for any expenses ourselves.
Thank you for your time,
Katelyn
Answer Hi Katelyn:
Typically announcements are sent after the wedding. As for wording, you could say something like this:
Bride First, Last Name
and
Groom First, Last Name
are happy to announce their marriage
on February 14,2008
You could go for something more fun and whimsical such as:
We're Hitched!
Bride First, Last Name
and
Groom First, Last Name
are pleased to announce that
took the plunge on February 14, 2008
I hope this helps. Should you have any further questions, please feel free to contact me again.
