Wedding Guidlines
Deadlines:
Weddings will be printed in the Sunday
edition immediately following the wedding if information is turned
in to the Temple Daily Telegram's Lifestyle Department no later than
5 p.m. Monday before the wedding.
Information and pictures received after a wedding has occurred will
be printed on a space-available basis. No wedding picture will be
printed if the wedding information is received more than three weeks
after the ceremony. No wedding story will be printed if the information
is received more than one month after the ceremony.
Pictures:
One free photograph will be used in the Temple Daily Telegram,
either an engagement or a bridal photo. Couples wishing to have both
an engagement photo and a wedding photo printed will pay regular advertising
rates for the wedding photo. The appropriate photos will appear with
the engagement and wedding notices in the regular editorial space
of the news page. The Telegram will print one free photo, if the bride
or bridegroom or at least one set of parents are residents or former
residents of the newspaper's circulation area (residents of the counties
of Bell, Milam, Lampasas, Coryell, Falls, and portions of Williamson
or McLennan).
If a second photo is run, arrangements for payments will be made with
the Business Office at the time the wedding photo is brought to the
Telegram for publication. All pictures must be black-and-white glossy
prints or professional color prints. Polaroid, instant, or soft focus
prints do not reproduce well in the newspaper so they cannot be used.
Because of space limitations, full-length pictures will not be used.
A wedding photo will include the bride only. An Engagement photo is
one photo which includes only the prospective bride and bridegroom.
Pictures are saved for 30 days after publication;
then they are discarded. The Telegram WILL NOT accept responsibility
for mailing photographs back. If you wish to have your picture returned,
please pick it up at the Temple Daily Telegram within 30 days after
publication. Although those handling the pictures make every effort
to ensure photos are not damaged, the Telegram accepts no responsibility
for damaged or misplaced photographs.
Information:
For weddings, forms must be filled out completely and printed
neatly in ink or typewritten. No wedding stories will be accepted
in longhand or pencil. Forms must be signed by the bridegroom, or
by an immediate family member. The Temple Daily Telegram is not responsible
for authenticity of wedding forms received through the mail, nor does
it accept responsibility for wedding information not on a wedding
form. Although every effort will be made to publish all wedding information
submitted, the Telegram does not guarantee that all information will
be included.
Engagements:
For an engagement, please designate who in
the wedding party is making the announcement. Deadline for Sunday
publication of engagement announcements is 5pm Wednesday. Engagements
must be announced at least one month prior to the ceremony.
Wedding Showers
Information about showers or parties
honoring the bride-elect, prospective bridegroom or both must be submitted
by 5pm Wednesday in order to be published in the following Sunday
Edition. Completed forms must be submitted in person at the Telegram
office, 10 S. 3rd St., or mailed to P.O. Box 6114, Temple 76503-6114.
Please submit articles the next business day after the event. All
forms MUST be signed and include a daytime telephone number.
