It is important to keep in mind that whether it&#8217;s the bride&#8217;s parents or the couple announcing the marriage, annoucements are recommended to be sent out immediately following the ceremony or as soon as possible.<\/p>\n<h4>Expert Answer: Rebecca Black, Etiquette By Rebecca<\/h4>\n<p>Let&#8217;s make it three. I agree. Announcements are sent after the wedding to only those who really need to know about the change in marital status, because these can be viewed as a plea for gifts even though the announcement does not obligate the receiver.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7183\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7183\" style=\"width: 572px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.top10weddingsites.com\/wedding-invitation-ideas.html\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-7183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1.jpg\" alt=\"invitation wording\" width=\"572\" height=\"859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1-472x709.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7183\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-7183\" src=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1.jpg\" alt=\"invitation wording\" width=\"572\" height=\"859\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1.jpg 474w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/d59f9d4c6ead3b2179f0ce774990c33f-1-472x709.jpg 472w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 572px) 100vw, 572px\" \/><\/noscript><\/a> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/135037688801227332\/\">Pinterest<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h4>Reader Response<\/h4>\n<p>Thank you for the replies. Since some of the family and friends all communicate with each other, would it be the polite thing to send some\/or all of the announcements to family or friends not invited prior to the wedding to keep from hurting feelings? We seem to already be hurting some feelings in that family members have told someone that they are not invited, prior to the invitations even being printed. I know etiquette is one thing, but how do we balance that with people&#8217;s feelings vs. invites and announcements?<\/p>\n<h4>Expert Answer: Donna, Wedding Queen<\/h4>\n<p>That would be very confusing to send the announcements out before the wedding. You&#8217;d be essentially announcing that there is an event coming up to which the recipient is not invited. I don&#8217;t think that would be received well. Most people understand that weddings must be small these days for economic reasons. If you think these people will be waiting for invitations then maybe it would be best to contact them personally and explain. If it were me, I&#8217;d wait and send an announcement that the couple was married. Most people understand that.<\/p>\n<h4>See Als<strong>o<\/strong><\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li><strong><a title=\"guide to wedding invitations\" href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/guides-wedding-tools\/ultimate-guide-to-wedding-invitations\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ultimate Guide to Wedding Invitations<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a title=\"wedding invitation websites\" href=\"http:\/\/www.top10weddingsites.com\/wedding-invitation-ideas.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Best Wedding Invitation Websites<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<li><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.topweddingsites.com\/wedding-blog\/wedding-invitations\/wedding-invitation-wording-and-etiquette\">Example Invitation Wording for Every Situation<\/a><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wedding Announcements Vs Invitations Announcement My daughter has a limited budget for the reception and can only invite a certain number of guests to the wedding (with dinner reception to follow).
