Help Preserve a Bit of History

Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post can help spread the good news.

In a world of sharing news and life events on popular social media sites, it is easy for couples to forget to announce their engagements and weddings in the newspaper.

By including engagement and wedding announcements in the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post, couples are sharing their news and preserving a bit of history for future generations.

The Standard-Radio Post will run wedding and engagement announcements and photographs, as well as follow-ups on wedding parties and showers.

To help couples share their news in the paper, the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post has several options available for submitting the information.

There is no charge for having engagement and wedding announcements and shower stories published in the newspaper.

And while there is no deadline prior to or after the wedding, couples are still urged to submit the information and photographs in a timely manner.

The deadline for submitting articles and photographs for the “Scene” section of each week’s paper is noon on Monday.

Black and white photographs or

color photographs can be used, providing the picture is in good focus and is of good quality.

Photographs that do not meet reproduction standards will not be used. Also, full-length wedding pictures will not be used.

Photographs can be submitted in a variety of formats. Some couples may choose to submit an original photo with their information while others may choose to submit the photograph on a CD or flash drive.

Also, e-mailed photographs will be accepted, provided that they are submitted in a jpg format at a minimum of 300 dpi resolution.

Couples are discouraged from submitting photographs that are reproduced on a home printer or copy machine.

In an effort to aid couples in submitting information to the Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post, engagement and wedding forms are available at the newspaper office at 712 West Main Street.

Forms are also available by telephone at 997-2155, by writing to P.O. Box 1639, Fredericksburg, TX 78624 or by e-mailed requests to fbgnews@fredericksburgstandard. com. In addition, couples can visit www.fredericksburgstandard.com for online engagement and wedding forms.
