normaly you send announcements to those who you do not want to invtite to the wedding after the ceremony.
if you send them before they will either think that they are invited or will get the message that you obviously don't want them there.

No. That's so rude. Why would you announce to your family that you're getting married but dont want to invite them to the wedding. No, you wait until after your married and then you can send like "We've moved" cards telling them your new address. Better yet, invite your family to your wedding.

If you want to send announcements then you should have them sent out AFTER the wedding. Otherwise it could be misinterpreted as a possible invite - that or a slap in the face, we're getting married and you're not invited. Best to send them after the fact and avoid all possible hurt feelings.

Yes, but you would sent the announcement after the honeymoon. Do NOT send them out prior to the wedding thinking you will get presents from them. You send the announcements after the honeymoon, and if they decide to send you a gift they will, but they are in no way obligated to send a gift if they are not invited to view your vows or have a meal.

Announcements are sent after the wedding and say something like
Mr and Mrs John Jones joyfully announce that their daughter
Jane Jones
has united in marriage with
Robert Plant
on Saturday, March 25, 2007
or
Jane JOnes and Robert PLant
are pleased to announce that they
were united in marriage on
Saturday, March 25, 2007
Invitations go out to those you invite ONLY and are sent 6 weeks before the wedding.

We sent announcements rather than invitations since there was no one (5 days after Christmas!) that would be able to make to our wedding anyway. The ones that did come were invited personally, but we sent our announcements out after we got married.

You can but you typically wait till after the wedding to send an announcement. Otherwise they will be looking for an invitation.

yes. but send them out the day after the wedding at the earliest. And make sure they are in fact announcements. Not left over invitations. Someone I know did that once and it started a whole big mess.....and it's rude.

Yes, but I would send them after the wedding. People might get confused and think you are inviting them if you send them before the wedding.

Don't send them until after.
Otherwise you're implying I"'m Having A Wedding And I Am Too Cheap To Invite You."

Wedding announcements are sent out AFTER you are married. That way, you can also have a wedding pic. to print on it, if you like. They are not sent the same time as others would receive invitations.
