How to Word an LDS Marriage Announcement
- 1). Write the names of the bride's parents first by writing "Mr. and Mrs.," followed by the bride's father's full name. For example, "Mr. and Mrs. John Smith."
- 2). Underneath the bride's parents' names, write a line indicating that this couple is announcing the marriage of their daughter. For instance, "are pleased to announce the marriage of their daughter."
- 3). Write the bride's first and middle name only on a separate line. Do not write the bride's last name, as it has already been indicated by the listing of her parents' names.
- 4). Write "to" on the line underneath the bride's name.
- 5). Announce the full name of the groom (last name included this time) on the next line.
- 6). Indicate the groom's parents by writing, "son of Mr. and Mrs. [groom's father's full name]."
- 7). Write out the date, completely spelled out on the next line. For example, "Saturday, the thirteenth of August, two thousand eleven."
- 8). Announce the temple or chapel in which the wedding will take place. Write the city first, followed by "Temple/Chapel of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints." For instance, "Orlando, Florida Temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints."
