 How Do I Create A Wedding
Newsletter?
By Leah Steenstra
Consider creating a "Wedding
Newsletter" to keep your family, friends and wedding party up-to-date with your
wedding plans and schedules. Newsletters are great for guests or members of the wedding
party that live out-of-town. Plus, they can save you money by reducing the amount of phone
calls you have to make!
Newsletter
to Family & Wedding Party Can Include:
- Where and when the bridesmaids must be fitted for their
dresses.
- Where and when the men have to pick up their tuxes.
- Information about travel and hotel accommodations. Include
the name of a travel agent or provide your guests with all of the phone numbers required
to make their reservations.
- Where and when the rehearsal dinner will take place.
- Information about any other "wedding related
parties", such as a next-day brunch.
-
Newsletter
to All Your Guests
Can Include:
- Information about travel and hotel accommodations or the
name of a good travel agent who can make arrangements for them.
- Information about the date, time and location of your
ceremony and reception.
- A list of the wedding attendants and a brief introduction
to each, such as:
"Mary Jenkins, Maid of Honor, lives in Boston, MA and has been a friend of the bride
since college".
- Information about local area attractions.
- Information on local restaurants.
- Other interesting tidbits such as where you're going on
your honeymoon and where you'll be living after the wedding.
- Any arrangements being made for children.
- Best of all... keep your guests informed of your wedding
plans and any changes that may occur during the planning process.
When
Do You Send Out Your Newsletter?
Send out your wedding newsletter 3-6 months before the
wedding. If your wedding is on a holiday weekend or at a "hot spot" for
tourists, then it's a good idea to send it out as early as you can for those that will
need to make hotel and travel accommodations.
