Weddings, Anniversaries and Engagements Forms

Beginning Nov. 3, please call Cathy Harley to purchase an announcement about an engagement, wedding or anniversary in The Island Packet or The Beaufort Gazette, or select one of the following to fill out an announcement form online:

Engagement Form
Wedding Form
Anniversary Form

Harley can be reached at 843-706-8248. Harley also can be e-mailed at charley@islandpacket.com or charley@beaufortgazette.com.

In addition, you may pick up at the front desk of either newspaper a package that includes samples of the various formats available for announcements, details about how to prepare your announcement and prices.

The package contains fill-in the blank forms that, when completed, will provide information the newspapers must have to publish your announcement.

Harley will be available, by appointment, to assist you in preparing your announcement.

The cost of your announcement will depend primarily on its length. Color photographs will accompany paid announcements. The Packet and Gazette also offer free announcements that include more limited information about the couple and the occasion.

If you’d like your announcement to appear on a specific Sunday, please contact Harley at least two weeks beforehand.

The Packet is located at 10 Buck Island Road in Bluffton; the Gazette is located at 1556 Salem Road in Beaufort.
