add wording to wedding reception announcements
It's interesting:"The bride and groom have asked me to make special mention of the bridesmaids who have done so much to help the day run so smoothly. They were charming and decorative and I know gave Linda all the support she needed. In fact you could say they added the finishing touch to a fairy tale wedding."
Wedding announcements can either be mailed to friends and family members who could not make it to the wedding or can be submitted to the wedding and engagement sections of local newspapers for all to see. The announcement will typically be accompanied by a wedding photo of the couple. The wording of the wedding announcement will be relative to the desires of the couple, though there are a variety of staples that are typically included that they can use as a template.

Instructions
1
State who is announcing the marriage depending on who threw the wedding or who is sending the announcements. For example, the announcement will state either "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith announce their marriage on Friday, June 15th," or "Mr. and Mrs. Paul Jones announce the wedding of their daughter, Julie Jones Smith, to John Smith."
2
Incorporate the names of the parents of the bride and groom as well as the towns they hail from if submitting the announcement to a newspaper. For example, "John Smith, son of Robert and Mary Smith of Springfield, wed his girlfriend of three years, Julie Jones Smith, daughter of Paul and Carol Jones of Middletown, in a ceremony on June 15th."
3
Add the names of the bridal party, or if it is a large party, just the names of the maid of honor and best man. For example, "John's brother, Todd Smith served as his best man and the bride's sister, Sally Jones, stood up as her maid of honor."
4
Include details about the wedding ceremony and reception, such as the time and the place. For example, "The wedding ceremony was held at dusk in the Johnson Memorial Park, and was followed immediately after with a cocktail party reception at the Riverside Banquet Hall in Manchester."
5
Add a closing thought or sentiment from the bridal couple. For example, "The newlyweds thoroughly enjoyed their special day and look forward to a lifetime of happiness together."
