Guidelines for submitting your
wedding or engagement announcement
to the Daily Hampshire Gazette
The Gazette is pleased to announce your wedding or engagement. We publish these announcements as a free service for our readers. The announcements are treated like news stories in the Gazette, and therefore follow the same editorial standards and style. To ensure accuracy and quality, we have some guidelines outlining how our wedding form should be completed and submitted.
DEADLINES
The wedding form must be submitted no later than three months after the wedding.
Announcements are published in the Weekend Living section of the Gazette and GazetteNET.com.
A wedding announcement will not be published until after the wedding has taken place.
THE FORM
Our intention is to announce the weddings and engagements of people with local ties. If it isn't clear why yours is local, please indicate your local connection on the form.
The form must be filled out completely.
Please use full, legal names - first and last. Do not use nicknames or courtesy titles, such as Miss, Mr., Mrs. or Ms.
We reserve the right to edit any information provided on the form.
So that we can verify the announcement, please include a daytime telephone number and other contact information where requested on the form.
PHOTOS
Professional black-and-white glossies are preferred for best reproduction, although color photos can be submitted. Please do not send photocopies or computer printouts of digital photos; they do not reproduce well. High-resolution digital photos (at least 200 dpi) may be emailed to celebrations@gazettenet.com. Write "wedding photo" in the subject line and include the caption information in the body of the message.
We reserve the right to reject photos that are of poor quality or in poor taste.
We will mail your photo back to you if you include a self-addressed stamped envelope. Otherwise, you can pick the photo up at our office after the announcement has been published. We will take care to safeguard your photo, but we cannot be held responsible for loss or damage.
Please send your photograph (if any) to: Wedding Announcements, The Daily Hampshire Gazette, 115 Conz St., P.O. Box 299, Northampton, MA 01061-0299.
Our phone number is (413) 584-5000. Our email address is celebrations@gazettenet.com.
