Guidelines for How to Submit Engagement, Wedding Notices
The following are some guidelines for placing an engagement or wedding announcement in The Westfield Leader and
The Times of Scotch Plains-Fanwood.
Announcements are usually published within several weeks after they are received.
There is no charge for publication of a written announcement only. For a release accompanied by a photograph, the cost is $15 for subscribers and $25 for non-subscribers.
Photographs may either be black-andwhite or in color, but should be clear and no smaller than 3½ inches by 5 inches. No Polaroids should be submitted. The better the quality of the photograph, the better it will reproduce in the newspaper, so pictures submitted for publication should also not be too dark.
Photographs are kept on file for approximately six months after publication, and may be picked up at the Westfield offices of The Westfield Leader
and The Times of Scotch Plains-Fanwood
after they appear in print. Engagement and wedding announcement forms are available at the newspaper offices to serve as a guide. However, individuals may also write their own. This newspaper reserves the right to edit all copy to conform to space availability and editorial style.
Announcements mailed or faxed should be neatly typed and double spaced. They may also be e-mailed at press@goleader.com. A daytime telephone number should be included in case any further information or clarification is required.
Engagement announcements should include the names of the couple and the towns in which they live, and the names of each set of parents and their hometowns.
The announcement should indicate if either the future bride or bridegroom, or their parents, are former residents of Westfield, Scotch Plains, Fanwood or Mountainside, if they are now living elsewhere.
Engagement notices should also include brief histories for the couple, such as high school and/or college and years of graduation; current employment, military service, or any clubs or societies in which they hold membership. It should also state when the wedding will take place (it is not necessary to include the actual date).
Wedding announcements should also include the names and hometowns of the bride and bridegroom and both sets of parents, as well as a brief history for each of the newlyweds.
The date, time and place of the ceremony, along with the name of the officiant and the reception site, should also be mentioned. It is appropriate as well to include the name of the person who gave the bride away.
The amount of detail contained in a wedding announcement is up to the individual. A description of the attire worn by the bride and her attendants (costume, style, materials and veil), along with their bouquets, may be included in the release.
Names and hometowns of honor attendants and members of the bridal party, along with their relationship to either the bride or bridegroom, are also considered relevant information.
All wedding notices should include courtesy titles (Miss, Mrs., Ms., Dr.) for honor and bridal attendants, other women mentioned in the article, and for the mother of the bride or bridegroom if the parents are other than “Mr. and Mrs.”
Information regarding the rehearsal dinner, bridal showers or any other pre-nuptial parties may also be given, including the names of those who hosted the events and where they were held. It is also appropriate to include the place where the couple spent their honeymoon and the town where they currently live.
