Step 6: Send Announcements
Within one day of the wedding
Announcements are notifications sent to those who are unable to attend your wedding. They are put in the mail the day before, the day of, or the day after your wedding. This ensures that they arrive after the nuptials have taken place which is the custom. To learn the specific details of sending announcements, please reference the BridalTrack Overview Of Pieces.
Generating the list for sending announcements will be just like generating your list for Save The Date notices and invitations. This time you will be searching for people who you designated to receive the announcement.
If you did not set up your list to include this field, then it will be a tedious, manual task. If you did set it up to accomodate this, then all that is required is to have your data software return just those who have a "Yes" in their "Announcement" field.
Extract contacts to send announcements from your wedding's contact list
Additionally, if you set up labels to send "Save The Date" notices you can actually use those labels as a template to create labels for your announcements. First, create your sub-list, by finding just those people who you are sending announcements to and saving that file with a name different than the main list. Now, you can either recreate labels, or you can use the "Save The Date" notices label file and associate it with this new data source.
