Engagements, weddings and anniversaries are printed for free in the Slice section every Sunday in the Northwest Herald.
Engagement announcements must be received no later than three weeks before the wedding date or they will not be printed. Wedding announcements are accepted up to six months after the wedding date. We will accept one photo for weddings and engagements. We will accept two photos – wedding and current – for anniversaries.
If you have a photo you would like published with this, please submit it in the space provided below.
If you print out this form and send it by mail instead of submitting electronically, any photos you send not accompanied with a self-addressed, stamped envelope will not be returned. They may be picked up at the Crystal Lake office, 7717 S. Route 31, after publication. Call 815-459-4122 for more information.
