My hustand and I were married in February. We are just now starting to tell people. Is it proper to send out announcements now? Do we have to put a date of when we were married on it? We want people to know that we're happy but we don't want anyone to be hurt. We don't expect gifts, just want people to share in our joy.
We got married for financial/health reasons but were planning on getting married anyhow.
It may seem a bit odd to send these out now. Usually these are sent out directly after the wedding. And, there optional. So, why not just tell everyone?
This is what we have pretty much been doing. I just thought it would be a nice momento for his parents (his first marriage and their only child; my second marriage). Also some extended family members.
There really is no 'rule's against it. It is just that we send these out right away. When people do things a bit out of order or don't follow expected protocol, others usually don't know what to think of it. They may think that this is a plea for gifts, which of course, it is not.
So, consider all aspects of this before taking action. Rebecca Black, Etiquette Now
