  1. L Y LastName and Bob LastName were married May 30, 2009 in the Bahamas! Come celebrate with them at a reception on June 10, 2009 at Blahblah Venue in Blahblah City at seven-thirty in the evening.


  2. Sarah Smith and John Jones were married in a private ceremony on August 30. The couple, together with their families, invite you to celebrate their recent wedding at a reception... [details of date and location].

    Wedding announcements are pretty common. Any stationary/printing store can show you a number of other examples.

  3. Put your names, the date/place where you got married, and the reception information. Remember to put "No gifts, please" since these people didn't attend the ceremony.

  4. you can get your wedding thank you cards at http://www.eventphotocards.com
