January 13, 2013

A is for Announcement . . your engagement Announcement.  The announcement of your engagement or betrothal should be publicized in the newspaper after your engagement party or dinner (this event should take place within four to six weeks of your proposal).

Today, most newspapers have a prepared form or questionnaire where you fill in the pertinent information (parents' names, Bride and Groom's educational background, wedding plans, etc.).  If the engaged couple is going to include a photograph with their engagement announcement, newspapers prefer that "a black and white photo" be submitted with the completed form.

Here's an example of a engagement announcement in a newspaper . .

Mr. and Mrs. John Doe of Springfield, XX announce the engagement of their daughter, Miss Jane Doe, to Mr. Edward Smith, son of Mr. and Mrs. Donald Smith of Tampa, XX.  A spring 2014 wedding is planned.

Miss Doe graduated from X High School and is a fourth year student at Y University.  Mr. Smith is in the military plus he is a graduate student at Z university.
