A week or so ago, Turkey Mom and I were speaking about engagement announcements.
I'm not sure how common these are everywhere, but they seem to be the norm where I grew up. Almost every week Turkey Mom sees an announcement that involves a classmate of either mine or my brother's (yup, it's the age - this and birth announcements). So, it was an easy choice to go down the announcement path for us; we decided to post in both my hometown's city paper and the small local paper.
The process was pretty easy for the city paper - fill in the required information and they write you a draft: name of bride and groom, parents' names, degrees, etc.
