     Wedding Announcements Wording for Small Wedding  

We are having a very small wedding and reception - about 40 people total.

We want to announce to all of other family and friends that we got married - but is it appropriate to send an Announcement after we got married to those people that we didn't invite?

What is the best way to inform everyone else in our life that we were married without offending them that they were not invited?

Thank you!

Ann

Yes, a wedding announcement would be the proper way to inform your extended family and friends that you have been married. Thje announcement is sent after the wedding to avoid having these people misundertand and think it is an invitation. I have seen the following wording which I feel is a nice way of letting your friends know that you've been married or eloped and that you couldn't invite them.

Your Name
and
Grooms Name
Are proud to announce
That on
YOUR DATE
We united our hearts
in holy matrimony
in a private ceremony
in YOUR LOCATION

Although we couldn't
have you there in person,
because you have shared in
our lives by your
friendship and love,
you were with us on
our special day.

You could really use any wording you like while indicating that the marriage has already taken place.
