Engagement Announcement
Engagement announcements will be published for free up to 300 words and include a free photo. For longer engagement announcements over the word limit a charge of 10 cents per additional word will be charged.
Engagement announcements are for current or former residents of Barrow County, or the son or daughter of current or former residents of Barrow County. Announcements of grandchildren who have never lived in Barrow County will be published at a rate of 10 cents per word.
Engagement announcements should generally be turned in around 6-12 weeks prior to the wedding date. Engagements will be published in the next available issue of the Barrow Journal.
Engagements announcements may be submitted via fax at 678.425.1435, via email at news@barrowjournal.com or in person at 77 East May Street, Winder.
Photos: High quality photos may be submitted with engagement announcements. These may be submitted as prints in person or by mail, or via email as a digital photo file. Do not embed photos inside text-writing software; attach photos to emails as a jpg or a similar file. For best quality, photos should be well-lit with no shadows across the face from a hat or other object. If you want photos returned, include a self-addressed, stamped envelope or come by our office after publication. Submit photos at the same time as your announcement.
Among information to write about in an engagement announcement include the full names of bride and groom and where they reside; parent and grandparent names and where each lives; a description of the bride and groom’s current or recent education, military and/or employment location; the date, time and location of the wedding and whether it is an open invitation or closed wedding; the name of the person officiating at the wedding; groom and bride attendants if any; honeymoon location; and the name, phone number and email address of the person submitting the information in case we have a question about it.
