Wedding Announcement Wording

Hello ladies!

I need some help.  I am getting our wedding announcements ready to send out and I don't know what to write on them.  They will be going to both people who attended our wedding and those who couldn't attend.  We are leaving a space to write a hand written 'thank you' to everyone who came but will just send them out as-is to the folks who couldn't make it.  So I need wording for a pretty general announcement.  I can only come up with like 2 sentences and I'm not sure what to say without alienating people who weren't able to come.  Help!

    I just looked at my wording to see if it would help you, but we combined our announcements with our at home reception invitations, so I don't think that will work for you.

    I do know that they should include your names, the date of the wedding and location of the wedding.

    It could simply be

    Just Married with your names, wedding date and the location. Then have a picture or two of you.

    Or

    Your names announce their marriage on date of wedding in the place it happened.

    It doesn't have to say anything more than that you were married and when and where it happened.  Hope that helps!

    Ours was pretty formal--like the invites.  We also attached our monogram at the top.  This reminds me, I should try to find an extra and take a picture of it.  

    "My dad & my mom
    have the pleasure of announcing
    the marriage of their daughter

    Me
    to 
    Husband

    Date, spelled out
    Location

    Info about current address 
    remaining the same, 
    and me keeping my last name

    For pictures and video visit
    Our announcement site"

    You could also include a Hawaiian verse and translation, or maybe part of your vows at the top.  I remember finding some really cute poems, etc...like

    The new beginning of a love-filled life,
    On the island of Maui we became husband and wife

    Because we are keeping our wedding guest list small, we will be sending announcements to people who were not invited to the wedding.  We will be having a reception back home, which many people who did not get invited to the weding will be invited to.  We also want to include the invite to the at home reception in announcment, Kimicupcakes--can you share your wording please?
