My husband and I got married by a justice of the peace shortly after leaving home to move to another state where we have no family. November 16th was the day. Some family and friends are aware of it as our plans were to return home in April and have an actual wedding at that time. Plans have changed and it has become something that we are no longer able to afford. Not gonna get into how sad that all makes me, as what happened is not exactly how I pictured it. Anyways, I am wondering about sending out announcments. I'm not concerned with it seeming rude or like a solicitation for gifts, what I am actually wondering is how in the world would I word something like that? I really want to "offically" announce that we are married but I'm just not sure how to go about doing it. ALL suggestions are welcome as I really don't know where to even begin with this. Thanks!

Honestly with it being the holidays--what I would do is take a picture of the two of you to a drug store and get those holiday picture cards. Walgreens has long ones that fit into a regular envelope. You can personalize it with something like
HAPPY HOLIDAYS FROM THE NEWLYWEDS!

That way you have told everyone, sent out Christmas cards to everyone, and it doesn't seem like a request for gifts. Also it's a good idea to let people know about your name change and address change as soon as possible, as they might be sending you things soon.

Go online and look up wedding announcements, and I've seen a few websites that have announcements of marriage (something like "it was the right time, right place, and we got married! In any case, we thought you should know!) Go to google and type in wedding announcements, and you should get some. Good luck!

Try theknot.com to look up this situation. I wrote my engagement announcement using their formats.
