When and how to send wedding announcements

The wedding announcements are traditionally sent by the bride's parents. However, the couple can also send it nowadays. Some professionals suggest not sending wedding announcements before wedding. But it depends. If you are just announcing your wedding, it's reasonable. In a formal wedding, you could send it just before the wedding ceremony. When the recipient received it, you are just married. Therefore, people get the news when it's still the news. Since the groom and bride are busy in a wedding, you could enlist your mom, maid of honor, or best man to drop them in the mailbox.
