2026 Wedding Trend: Newspaper-Style Wedding Announcement

Once upon a time, it was tradition to announce your engagement or upcoming nuptials in the local newspaper for the whole community to see. While that practice has faded over the years, couples are giving it a fresh, modern twist by bringing back the newspaper-style wedding announcement—but this time, it’s exclusively for their guests.

Think of it as part announcement, part keepsake, and part guide to your wedding day. These customized “wedding newspapers” can be sent out as a unique save-the-date, tucked into welcome bags, or even handed out at the ceremony. Not only are they a creative way to share your love story, but they also serve as a practical resource for your guests.

What can you include in your personalized wedding newspaper?

• Wedding Day Details: timing, ceremony, and reception information.

• Venue & Accommodations: helpful notes on hotels, transportation, and local highlights.

• Your Love Story: fun features about how you met, the proposal, and favorite memories.

• Photos: engagement session highlights or throwback pictures of the two of you.

• Special Extras: crossword puzzles, fun facts about the couple, or a thank-you note to guests.

This trend blends nostalgia with creativity, giving your guests both a beautiful memento and a practical guide. The best part? A wedding newspaper makes for incredible photos and a conversation piece your loved ones will never forget.
