Announcements are generally sent to people who were not invited to the wedding, but who you want to notify of your marriage. These can include business associates, geographically distant family and friends, neighborhood or church acquaintances, holiday-card lists, etc. They are generally not sent to anyone who received an invitation. Announcements can be ordered at the same time as invitations and are similar in look. They should be addressed and ready to mail directly after the wedding. Parents or honor attendants can mail them, if the bride and groom leave immediately for the honeymoon. Remember, neither the invitations nor the announcements obligate the recipient to send a gift.
You can enclose a name card with your announcements to tell your friends and colleagues of your preference. Michelle Lynn Davis will be changing her name to Michelle Lynn Carter following her marriage September 25, 2000. Or, substitute your maiden name for middle name: Michelle Lynn Davis will be changing her name to Michelle Davis Carter following... Or, The bride will retain the name Michelle Lynn Davis after her marriage.
