Wedding Announcements

You've got big news, and we've got everything you need to share it. Find the perfect design to tell your love story with our top-rated digital wedding announcements.

A wedding announcement is a notice to let friends or family know about an upcoming or recent wedding.

Online wedding announcements are a thoughtful way to share a personal moment with loved ones who can't make it to your wedding event, or to share special news with people who may not be invited to the event itself.

It's important to note that a wedding announcement is not the same as a wedding invitation or a save the date! A common question when it comes to wedding announcements is… well, how do you announce a wedding without inviting the recipient? If you are hoping to spread the news without formally inviting someone to your wedding, don't worry. Since your wedding announcement is about sharing the news of your wedding, it focuses more on the names of the couple versus the details of an event.

Wedding announcements can be sent before or after the wedding, depending on your intent.

While it's most common to send wedding announcements after the event, you may choose to send them out before your wedding if you are hoping to inform people of your news and share the joy without inviting them to the main celebrations if your venue's capacity does not allow it.

If you are planning to send a wedding announcement after your wedding ceremony, the ideal time frame is within three months of your wedding date. Some people choose to send them before the actual event to ensure they arrive in time, but when you go digital with Evite, you don't have to worry about that!

Digital wedding announcements allow you to even send the same day, so you can send the news as soon as you wish! This is especially great if you want to include a photo from your event — digital announcements help significantly reduce delays and make for easy and simple turnaround!

You can also opt to schedule your wedding announcements to send on a specific day, so you can cross one thing off your to-do list now and trust that your announcements will arrive right on time and when you want them to.

Creating a wedding announcement is simple with Evite! Browse our popular designs, add your recipients' contact information, then opt to add a note if you like!

If you wish to add a photo to your digital wedding announcement, just choose one of our photo announcements and upload your favorite image.

Evite also allows you to upload your own design to create something truly custom.

Typically, wedding announcements are sent to friends, family members, colleagues, and acquaintances who were not invited to the wedding but would appreciate the news. You can also send them out to any loved ones who were invited to your wedding but unable to attend. Everyone loves to receive joyous news, especially when you include a photo or a personal note!

It's also appropriate to send a wedding announcement to extended relatives, professional contacts, or distant friends you'd like to keep included in this milestone.

Evite makes it easy to add all of your recipients at once, so you don't have to worry about forgetting or missing anyone!

Use the "add a note" feature to include a note about your wedding! The most important details to include are the couple's names and the wedding date. You may also opt to include the location or city you were married in!

Evite also allows you to write a general note for all recipients, and create personal notes for specific people you want to say something unique to! For example, you can write a general announcement with your key announcement details, but if you'd like to share a short memo or word of gratitude with particular guests, you're able to easily create a personal note for them.

So, congratulations on your wedding! Here's to sharing the wonderful news, and to your next chapter!
