Share special memories with CelebrationsCelebrations features

weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and other happy news, such as birthdays, reunions, and four- or five-generation photos.

As a special way to pre-serve these memorable occasions, quarter-, half- or full-page announce-ments can be purchased.

Paid announcements are 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 publi-cation.

Customers will be called when the announcement is ready to be proofed. At that time, any correc-tions or additions can be made as needed at Sauk Valley Media’s Dixon and Sterling offices. For convenience, proofs will be emailed without calls whenever possible.

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

Celebration forms are available at the Tele-graph and Daily Gazette classified departments or by email.

SVM is not responsible for errors due to unread-able information. A day-time phone number and email address (if avail-able) 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 avail-able in basic (free) form (one photo of the couple), two styles of quarter-page paid (one photo only), half-page paid (two pho-tos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

Anniversary announce-ments are available in the basic (free) form (one cur-rent photo), quarter-page paid (one or two photos), half-page paid (two pho-tos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

Announcements begin-ning with the 25th anni-versary, and then in 5-year increments up to 60 years, can be at no charge. Other increments will require a paid announcement. Anniversaries of 70 years and more are at no charge in a paid format; the announcement size will be determined by the edi-tor.

After 60th-year anni-versaries, SVM will pub-lish free announcements, without special wording, without the 5-year incre-ment restriction.

Birthday announce-ments for area seniors 80 years of age and older can be at no charge without special wording. There is a charge for those young-er than 80.

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

For 100th and older birthdays, SVM will pub-lish free announcements in a paid format; the announcement size will be determined by the edi-

tor.Reunions are for area

residents who are gather-ing, or have gathered, for a family or class reunion.

Reunion items will be edited due to space limi-tations, and lists of all those attending are not available in the free for-mat.

Photos also are not avail-able for a free announce-ment, but can be used in any of the paid announce-ments. If a large group photo is submitted, only one can be used in the quarter-page format, 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 pho-tos@saukvalley.com or in person.

For publication in Cel-ebrations, 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-generation photos with names, relationships, and places of residence of those pictured may be sub-mitted for publication.

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

Generation announce-ments are, of course, avail-able on a paid (custom) basis in quarter-page (one photo), half-page (two photos), and full-page (up to four photos) form.

Other celebrations include retirements, pro-motions, awards, honors, baptisms, confirmations, baby’s arrival (able to con-tain more information than

standard birth announce-ments, along with a photo), and other occasions. Cus-tomers may purchase a quarter-page (one photo – two if space allows), half-page, (up to two photos) or full-page (up to four pho-

tos) paid announcement in Celebrations on a custom basis.
