WEDDINGS AND ENGAGEMENTS: The Courier-Record is happy to publish this newspaper's long-standing requirements. Engagements must be submitted for publication at least 60 days prior to the wedding. Wedding write-ups must be presented for publication no later than two weeks following the ceremony. Weekly deadlines are Fridays at 5:00 p.m. Both engagement and wedding write-ups are subject to editing. Both engagement and wedding photos will be cropped/enlarged/reduced according to this newspaper's policies.

   Paid write-ups are published as the bride wishes. The price is based on length. Paid wedding photos will be cropped as the bride wishes. The price is based on size. A charge will be made for wedding and engagement announcements that do not meet our free requirements. That includes any write-up or announcement that has appeared previously in any other newspaper. We also do not list, in our free announcements, the names of any for-profit firms or individuals such as wedding photographers, caterers, DJs, etc. If you have any questions, the Courier-Record urges all who have such announcements to call 292-NEWS well in advance of your special day or email us at:
news@courier-record.com 

   The Courier-Record looks forward to working with you.

   RULES ON RECENT BIRTHS: For local married couples, there is no charge for "Recent Birth" announcements that are published no more than two weeks after the baby's arrival. (We do not charge for birth announcements, unless you wish to include a photo)Our weekly deadline is Friday at 5:00 p.m. If you'd like to include your baby's first photo in such an announcement, such announcements can be published for as inexpensive as $25.00. Paid announcements shall be published as the family wishes. The price is based on length. Call 292-NEWS for more information, or email:
news@courier-record.com

   BIRTHDAYS: We are glad to publish photos of area residents when they reach their 100th birthday or higher. For everyone else, such announcements must be paid. The cost is based on size. Can you imagine what our paper would look like if we published everyone's photo on their birthday, without charge? There's simply not enough newsprint.

   WEDDING ANNIVERSARIES: We are glad to publish free-of-charge, RECENT photos (not more than 1-year-old) of couples celebrating their 50th, 60th, or higher anniversary (in increments of five). Example: We're not publishing, free-of-charge, a photo of a couple celebrating their 58th anniversary or their 61st. You can still make the paper, but there will have to be a charge; the price is based on length.
