  • Engagement: $25

When you purchase an engagement, wedding or anniversary announcement, you are also permitted five complimentary keepsake Pantagraphs, which may be picked up free of charge at The Pantagraph front desk (at 301 W.

These papers will be made available to you starting the Monday after the publication date and can be picked up while supplies last for a maximum of two weeks.

All announcement submissions are subject to editing for style and content. Your information and payment must be received by noon Monday for your announcement to be published in the following Sunday's paper. Publication dates, however, are subject to available space, so we cannot guarantee dates.

Please read the information below and select one of these options.
