Popular Wedding Announcements

A wedding announcement is a card sent to friends, family and loved ones to announce that a wedding has happened and that you’re now happily married. If you had a small wedding, this is a great option to ensure the people who couldn’t attend your wedding will still feel a part of it. We’ve selected some of our best wedding announcement cards for you to send to everyone and celebrate this big occasion!

• Elopement Announcement Cards: Elopements can be so exciting and very often only include you and your partner. With an announcement card, you can make the rest of your family and friends feel included.
• Photo Announcement Cards: Wedding photos are one of the few things you can take from the wedding day! Why not show them off with pride by sending cards to all your family?
• Post-Wedding Announcement Cards: It's currently on trend to have a small wedding and then a party at a later time to celebrate getting married! With this, you can send an announcement and invite all in one!
• Holiday Announcement Cards: Did you recently get married during the holiday season? Celebrate by sending a holiday-themed wedding announcement card.

All three types are important in wedding stationery. A Save the Date card should be sent around 6 months before the wedding to alert your guests to the date and location of your upcoming wedding. This gives them enough notice to start making arrangements (travel, accommodation, time off work). An invitation is normally sent no more or less than 3 months ahead of the wedding. With this, you would include where you're registered, options for hotels and the location of your reception. Lastly, the wedding announcement card should be sent out after your wedding has happened. It lets those who could not attend feel like they were missed. It's also around the same time you send out your thank you cards to everyone who did attend your wedding.
