One thing that people from different cultures share in common is the celebration of weddings. However the similarity ends there knowing that each culture and race has its distinct ways of celebrating a wedding. This is why it's understandable when bridal couples may not be familiar of all the practices they should observe before, during, and after the wedding. But of course they can always find time to know the basic and most important wedding practices.

One important wedding etiquette that engaged couples shouldn't miss doing is the formal announcement of their engagement. After informing the parents of the engaged couple and getting their approval, the next thing to do is to inform everyone they know about this news. This is traditionally done by publishing it on newspaper. Other options that bridal couples have today include sending the announcement through email or by holding an engagement party.

When a bridal couple chooses the traditional means of public announcement, they should ask the feature or society editor regarding their policies on this matter. Normally, this kind of public announcement are published three to six months before the wedding ceremony.

Usually, it is the parents of the bride who coordinate with the newspaper editor to make the public announcement possible. A typical announcement contain information like the name of the engaged couple and of their parents', their permanent addresses, and the wedding date.

Some bridal couples choose to have an engagement portrait below the announcement. Before, it was only the bride who was permitted to be photographed for the engagement portrait. But today the bridal couple are allowed to pose together for this purpose.

Obviously, bridal couples need the help of a professional photographer who specializes in wedding photography or more specifically, bridal photography. These types of wedding photographers are already familiar of the requirements for capturing engagement portraits. Hence, couples can be guaranteed that they'll make the right pose for this kind of photograph or get the kind of photography style that is right for their personality.
