Whether you've eloped or had a small wedding with immediate family and close friends, you still want to get the word out that you're now a Mrs. While a mass email is always an option, etiquette dictates that sending a wedding announcement is the more appropriate thing to do. A wedding announcement can be as formal or casual as you and your new husband want it to be. The Everything Elopement Book has the expert tips you need to know about writing and mailing the perfect wedding announcement.
Wedding Announcements
You wouldn't want your Aunt Patsy to hear about your marriage down at the corner tavern, would you?

Wedding announcements are a nice way to divulge your marriage to some of the people you would have invited to a Big Wedding.
