So You Got Married and Now Need to Tell People Okay so wedding announcement cards are basically for telling people you got married AFTER the wedding already happened.

Getting Started With Vow Renewal Invitations So vow renewal invitations are kinda their own beast and honestly nobody tells you this until you’re knee-deep in paper samples at 11pm.
