Spread your good news with ease. Here's a list of
major newspaper contacts to get the ball rolling.
Unlike getting your mug on the National Enquirer's
front page, getting your engagement or wedding
announcement in the paper has nothing to do with
wealth, beauty, or fame. Your fate simply depends on
deadlines, how much space the newspaper can devote to
wedding-related announcements that day, a possible
fee, and (yikes) who you know.
Decide where you want your announcements to appear --
to-be-weds who live in different cities than their
parents should send announcements to hometown
newspapers as well as their own local papers. A
telephone call to each newspaper's wedding or
announcement desk is an easy way to obtain information
on what details to submit. Most include couple's
names, occupations, schooling, as well as information
on both sets of parents.

guidelines:
