My husband and I were married May 10 at a very small ceremony in Virginia. His entire family lives in California while the majority of my family lives in Indiana and did not attend the ceremony. At the time I was 2 months pregnant but we planned to visit both of our home states and have family receptions. We managed to make the trip to California but due to complications with my pregnancy we have not be able to travel to Indiana. I know it's too late to send announcements of our marriage but I was thinking about writing a letter to those who could not attend the wedding or California reception to announce our marriage and the expected birth of our baby girl especially since my extended family is so large. I also hate the idea of my family receiving birth announcements before knowing that we were married. Would this be ok, or what would be the best way to approach this?
It is better to allow word of mouth to spread the news. Sending a letter of announcement is still an announcement, which it is too late to do. Plus, this could be viewed as a plea for gifts and very confusing. Receivers would, most likely, think that you are expecting two gifts from them--wedding and baby.
Letter of Announcement?
