I don't see why not - but I might not be the best judge, because I know nothing of etiquette regarding wedding announcements. I think it's a great idea, and people would probably really like to hav ea wedding photo!
I would do it. More people will be happy to receive a photo of you two on your wedding day than will be mad that they weren't invited.
I kind of just feel like if everyone knows you two already got married, the "announcement" is redundant that many months later - Especially if they are upset they weren't invited. I understand that it was immediate family only, as do you, but people are very touchy about that kind of stuff. I dont disagree that you should send out a photo to your family members, that would be nice, but I'd separate the announcement from the Christmas card.
Super cute idea! I wouldn't have thought about that! Plus you can save a TON on postage!
I think you should send out separate marriage announcements with a picture before Christmas (like this month if at all possible), and then send out your Christmas cards as usual. I probably wouldn't cut a picture out of a Christmas card, and I'd still wish that I had a wedding photo of you.
Thanks for the thoughts so far!! We aren't the type to send out announcements just to announce our marriage - as I said earlier, everyone knows!
I guess the alternative to creating a 5x7 flat "photo card" (with our holiday wish and photo all on one side), would be to stick to generic folded Christmas cards and include a 4x6 photo from our wedding in the card?
I think it definitely personalizes an otherwise generic christmas card, so why not?! Do you guys do like the "here's what's been going on with us the past year" paper thing, or just like a regular christmas card?
@knapper - I think that is the best bet. Just include a photo with your christmas cards. People do that a lot, that is how we get annual photos of our nieces and nephew, little cousins, etc
I think many people take time in Christmas cards or Christmas letters to people to recap from the year. This was your big even and something you're thankful for. I say, go for it. If it were me receiving one, I would think it was totally normal.
Personally, I think it's a great idea, but I would also like some advice on this topic. I'm sorry Knapper for impinging on your post/question, but I would really appreciate any advice on this related topic.
We had a small destination wedding back in June. Originally, I wanted to send out an announcement right after the wedding with photos because most people have not seen them yet . However, we still do not have professional photos yet! Ugh!!! I'm expecting to have them before the end of Nov. I'm think it's kinda of ridiculous to send the announcements out now since we been married for 5 months now and most people know. However, I know alot of people still haven't seen our pics.
So getting to my question, do you think it's too late to send an annoucement or do you think the x'mas card idea is better?
I'd say include a card or do the photocards with all of the info on one side.
Thanks all! We decided to go with a 5x7 flat photo card that has 2 photos on it from the wedding. I designed them myself, and the 2 photos are the size of wallets, so people can cut them out if they are looking for wedding photos and they will fit in standard frames!
We went through VistaPrint....the prices were very competitive, included envelopes (and offered templates since a 5x7 isn't a true 5x7), and allowed me to upload my own design. I ordered them this morning using ebates (they are offering 12% cash back for Cyber Monday). BONUS!

Here's the scenario:
We had a small wedding (immediate family only) in August. I've sent out Christmas cards for years. For this year, I'd like to include a picture from our wedding day, and add a little "announcement" with our date. Is that out of line? Everyone on our mailing list knows we got married, some were upset they weren't invited, and most of our extended families don't have a wedding photo, so I thought this might work well! I'd come up with a design so that the christmas stuff can be cut out and end up with a wallet sized photo in case anyone gets rid of their cards but want the photo.
I'm thinking of making them 5x7, and printing them on photo paper through artscow.com, because I can get 50 free, buy envelopes, and voila! What are your thoughts?
