1. Weddings and engagements appear in The Sun News and at TheSunNews.com on Sundays. Paid packages, covering a wide range of photo and announcements sizes, also are available. See our brochure for pricing information by clicking here.

2. Wedding and engagement announcements should be received by The Sun News by 5 p.m. Monday, one week before the desired date of publication. Please call if you need help with a deadline.

3. Black and white or color photos with sharp contrast are acceptable as long as they are no larger than 8” x 10”. Photographers who do not have a blanket release on file with The Sun News should sign the printable form. If a signature cannot be obtained, be sure to include the photographer’s name and telephone number. The Sun News will return wedding and engagement photos only if they are accompanied by a stamped, self-addressed envelope when presented for publication. Otherwise the photograph will be discarded after publication. The Sun News is not responsible for loss or damage to photographs under any circumstances.

4. Announcements should be typed or clearly block-printed with day and date of the wedding. The Sun News cannot accept responsibility for, and will not run corrections on, information that is illegible or incomplete. The Sun News reserves the right to edit information to standard format. The form must be verified by one of the principals (bride, groom, parents). Please provide an address and daytime telephone number of one of the principals.

5. Announcements may be submitted via the form below, brought to The Sun News office at 914 Frontage Road, Myrtle Beach or mailed to Wedding News, The Sun News, PO Box 406, Myrtle Beach, SC 29578.

6. From time to time The Sun News publishes promotional material illustrating the bridal announcement packages that are available for publication. This promotional material features outstanding examples of announcements that have been published previously. By submitting material for publication as a bridal announcement I, for myself and others identified in the material submitted for publication, consent to the republication of the announcement in promotional material illustrating bridal announcement packages without compensation.
