Submit your engagement announcement

Wedding and Engagement Submission Policy
Updated: 6/5/2007

The Daily Star requests that wedding news be submitted no more than three months after the wedding, when possible.

Wedding announcements received more than 120 days after the wedding will be printed without a photograph. Wedding announcements received more than six months after the date of the wedding will not be printed. If you think you will be unable to submit your wedding announcement within this time frame, please contact The Daily Star to make alternate arrangements.

Each announcement must include the name and phone number of the person submitting the information. If this person is not a member of the wedding party, their relationship to the couple should be indicated. Announcements received without appropriate contact information may be delayed.

Wedding and engagement forms are provided as a convenience, but are not required. Any couple wishing to write up their announcement in their own words is welcome to do so. However, The Daily Star reserves the right to edit all announcements.

Wedding and engagement announcements are printed in The Daily Star as a free service to the community in each Weekend edition. Announcements must be received by noon Tuesday to be considered for that weekend's edition. Provided that all deadlines and other criteria are met, announcements are typically printed within two weeks of receipt.

Couples may call Emily Popek, community editor, at (607) 432-1000, ext. 255, on Thursdays to determine if their announcement will be in that weekend's edition.



Photo guidelines

Photos for wedding and engagement announcements should be in focus, with the faces of the couple at least the size of a nickel. Black- and-white or color prints of virtually any size can be submitted, as long as they meet the previously stated guidelines.

Digital photos must be submitted electronically, on disk or by e-mail. Digital photos should be at least 150 dpi and no larger than 2 megabytes in size. Photos should be saved in .jpg format. Printouts of digital photos will not be accepted. Digital photos can be sent by e-mail to epopek@thedailystar.com.


Photographs can be mailed to
