Share those special memories by submitting celebrations

Celebrations features wed-dings, engagements, anniver-saries, and other happy news, such as birthdays, reunions, and four- or five-generation photos.

As a special way to preserve these memorable occasions, quarter-, half- or full-page announcements can be pur-chased.

P a i d a n n o u n c e m e n t s a r e determined by word count: no more than 125 words for a quarter page, no more than 250 words for a half page, and up to 340 words for a full page. Those paying for announcements will have the opportunity to proof them before publication.

Customers will be called when the announcement is ready to be proofed. At that time, any corrections or additions can be made as needed at SVM’s Dixon and Sterling offices. For conve-nience, proofs will be emailed without calls whenever possible.

Photos may be submitted in color or black and white, and in any size. Emailed photos should be in JPEG format with a reso-lution of 200 and a width of at least 5 inches for best quality. All announcements can be printed without photos if desired.

Celebration forms are avail-able at the Telegraph and Daily Gazette classified departments or by email.

Sauk Valley Media is not respon-sible for errors due to unreadable information. A daytime phone number and email address (if available) are requested to help to insure accuracy.

Weddings are available in basic (free) form (one photo of the couple), quarter-page paid (one photo), half-page paid (two photos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

The wedding form should be returned preferably within 2 to 4 months after the wedding date.

Engagements are available in

basic (free) form (one photo of the couple), two styles of quar-ter-page paid (one photo only), half-page paid (two photos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

Anniversary announcements are available in the basic (free) form (one current photo), quar-ter-page paid (one or two pho-tos), half-page paid (two pho-tos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

Announcements beginning with the 25th anniversary, and then in 5-year increments up to 60 years, can be at no charge. Other increments will require a paid announcement. Anniver-saries of 70 years and more are at no charge in a paid format; the announcement size will be determined by the editor.

After 60th-year anniversaries, SVM will publish free announce-ments, without special wording, without the 5-year increment restriction.

Birthday announcements for area seniors 80 years of age and older can be at no charge without special wording. There is a charge for those younger than 80.

The basic (free) form (one cur-rent photo), quarter-page paid (one or two photos), half-page paid (two photos), and full-page paid (up to four photos) are avail-able.

For 100th and older birthdays, SVM will publish free announce-ments in a paid format; the announcement size will be deter-mined by the editor.

Reunions are for area resi-dents who are gathering, or have gathered, for a family or class reunion.

Reunion items will be edited due to space limitations, and lists of all those attending are not available in the free format.

Photos also are not available for a free announcement, but can be used in any of the paid announcements. If a large group

photo is submitted, only one can be used in the quarter-page for-mat, one photo is recommended in the half-page format, and up to four normally can be used in the full-page format. Large group photos with long lists of names may require at least a half-page paid announcement.

Note: A group photo for a class reunion only can be submitted at no charge for the Scrapbook page of SV Weekend by email to [email protected] or in person.

For publication in Celebra-tions, class reunions of 70 years and more will be available in the quarter-page format at no charge, with a photo allowed.

Five-generation and four-gen-eration photos with names, rela-tionships, and places of residence of those pictured may be submit-ted for publication.

Multiple photos from the same submitter will need to be on a paid basis.

Generation announcements are, of course, available on a paid (custom) basis in quarter-page (one photo), half-page (two pho-tos), and full-page (up to four photos) form.

Other celebrations include retirements, promotions, awards, honors, baptisms, confirmations, baby’s arrival (able to contain more information than standard birth announcements, along with a photo), and other occasions. Customers may purchase a quar-ter-page (one photo – two if space allows), half-page, (up to two photos) or full-page (up to four photos) paid announcement in Celebrations on a custom basis.
