word a marriage & wedding announcement
It's interesting:"Charles Dickens said a measure of a woman’s love for her man was the lengths to which she was prepared to go to make him happy. If this holds true, then Linda, you have reached that goal, for Paul is the happiest I have ever seen him."
A wedding or marriage announcement is different from a wedding invitation in that it is mailed to friends, family and colleagues after you have been married, or on the day of, to share the news. This is meant for mailing to people who were not invited to the actual wedding but who are still important in your lives. It is similar to a newspaper announcement, stating your names and when and where you got married. Follow a professional wording format for this formal announcement, similar to the wording of your wedding invitations.
