My husband and I are celebrating our 1st wedding anniversary feb 13th. We had a VERY small wedding in our home with about 20 people. We were going to send out wedding announcements after but there was a family tragedy the day day after our wedding that lasted months and side tracked us all. By the time things settled down ( a few months ago), we had forgotten to send them out. I would like to send them out now that out 1 year is coming up and thought we could play off that a bit in the announcement or something. I want to send them out this week but can't think of what to say on them. All the traditional things like "just married" don't seem to apply, obviously its been a while.
People have recently made comments to my parents that they totally forgot we had gotten married because they never got any announcement. When my brother got married he got thousands of dollars in gifts from our family and nobody even sent me a card. I'm not fishing for money, I would just like acknowledgement. A card maybe. My husband thinks it would be tacky to send it out now but I feel really hurt that my entire family just ignored that I got married. How Can I send out announcements that aren't tacky?
Can anyone give me any wording ideas for the announcement? Even making joke of the lateness? I'm feeling kinda stuck here
your so right, it is like a get out of jail free card. My aunt sent money to every cousin, niece and nephew for their wedding as does all the aunts and my mom. She didn't send me anything. My siblings? yes. It broke my heart, not about the money.. I know it seems it but it wasn't about the money.. It was that she didn't even send me a card and when my mom send her kids bunches of presents when they got married, she finally called and asked her why. My aunt simply said she didn't get an announcement.
