Newspaper Announcements
The Wedding Announcement Newspaper
A unique and classy way to send out wedding announcements or even Save-the-Dates is to mail everyone a newspaper. Imagine receiving a newspaper in the mail about a friend of yours who is getting married and the newspaper is all about your friend, her soon to be spouse, her engagement, her story of how they met, and so on. Pretty neat, don't you think? So do we. With an announcement newspaper, you can make a real impact on your friends and family!
What's a Newspaper Announcement?
In short, it is an actual, real, tabloid newspaper that contains all the information you want your wedding guests to know. Here at MakeMyNewspaper, we offer two sizes: 11x14 and 11x17. Both sizes give you a tremendous amount of space to make your newspaper program special. Your newspaper will have a minimum of 4 pages, so you have the room to add all the information you want.
Why Would You Want One?
There are several reasons why you would want a newspaper for your wedding announcement:
- Because you want to give a keepsake to friends and family.
- Because you want to share your story with your family and friends in a manner that everyone will enjoy.
- Because you need more room than the standard wedding announcement would afford.
- Because you want to make a lasting impression.
- Because you want something personally to remember this special time of your life.
- Because you want the announcement to be more than an announcement.
These are just a few of the reasons why you might decide to get a newspaper program for your wedding. When it comes down to it, your wedding should be a special day—your day. You will naturally want all of your friends and family to celebrate your upcoming matrimony. These newspapers can do just that.
Is It Difficult?
Making a wedding announcement newspaper is not difficult, but it may take you some time. You will need to design a minimum of 4 pages and that’s a lot of content. But conversely, you will enjoy the process! You will relive those moments that you put in the paper. You can add many photos, have others write pieces to include, and write about how you and your fiance met, got engaged, announce when and where the wedding will take place, and tell of your plans for the future.
We provide design software and templates to ease the workload for you, but with our Designer and templates, you have complete control and can let your creative side shine.
What Should I Put in It?
Before you begin, or even after you begin, you may want to consider the following to put in your newspaper announcement or save-the-date:
- Your Story (how you met, your courtship, your engagement, and your future plans)
- Details of the when and where the ceremony and reception are to take place
- Details of the rehearsal and perhaps rehearsal dinner
- Order of Service
- The Bridal Party if chosen already (names, short biography of each, and pictures)
- Don’t forget the Officiant if chosen already
- Your Vows if decided upon already
- Tribute to your parents
- Marriage advice articles written by family and friends
- Parallel timelines of both of you from childhood (don’t forget the pictures!)
- Personalized word searches, crossword puzzles, jokes, and comics
And anything else you’d want. Put some or all of the suggestions above, but when you are done, you will have something completely unique, personal, and memorable. People will absolutely love these when they get them in the mail, or are handed one, or find one in their door!
