Announce a birth, engagement, or wedding

Announcements must be submitted in writing and received at The Herald-Mail office 10 business days prior to the date on which you'd like to see them published. Announcements also must include the name and telephone number of the person providing the information.

Announcements may be mailed to:

Announcements may also be:

  • delivered to The Herald-Mail offices at 100 Summit Avenue in Hagerstown;
  • faxed to 301-714-0245; or

The Herald-Mail charges $50 to print weddings and engagement announcements in the newspaper and to post them to WashingtonCountyWeddings.com. The charge is $30 for our subscribers. All submitted announcements must be legible; please include the signature and phone number of the person making the announcement.

Birth announcements require a signature from a parent (from both parents if last names are different).

Engagement announcements require both signatures from the couple and from parents who formally make the announcement.

We publish photos for engagements and weddings. Please send a sharp, clear photo, 3 by 5 inches or larger. Computer-printed images on photo paper are acceptable; do not use bond paper. Include a self-addressed, stamped envelope if you want us to return the photo. We also accept high-resolution JPEG or TIFF photo files via e-mail. Signatures also may be e-mailed as an attachment.

Offer feedback on a story that appeared in The Herald-Mail

In most cases, the reporter's email address is included as part of the byline in both the print and online editions of the story.

If this isn't the case, or if you don't have the story handy, you can email news@herald-mail.com.

Letters to the editor may be submitted to opinion@herald-mail.com, or mailed to our offices to the attention of the Opinion department.
