Share those special memories with CelebrationsCelebrations features

weddings, engagements, anniversaries, and other happy news such as birth-days, reunions, and four- or five-generation photos.

As a special way to pre-serve these memorable occasions, quarter-, half- or full-page announce-ments can be purchased.

Paid announcements are determined by word count: no more than 125 words for a quarter page, no more than 250 words for a half page, and up to 340 words for a full page.

Photos may be submit-ted in color or black and white, and in any size.

Emailed photos should be in JPEG format with a resolution of 200 and a width of at least 5 inches for best quality.

Celebration forms are available at the Tele-graph or Daily Gazette classified departments.

Sauk Valley Media is not responsible for errors due to unreadable infor-mation, and a reprinting of the announcement may not be possible based on available space. A local daytime phone number is required.

Weddings are avail-able in basic (free) form, quarter-page paid, half-page paid, and full-page paid.

The wedding form s h o u l d b e r e t u r n e d preferably within 2 to 4 months after the wed-ding date.

Engagements are avail-able in basic (free) form (one photo) and in two styles of quarter-page paid (one photo only).

Other paid sizes also are available on a custom basis.

Anniversary announce-ments with accompany-ing photos will be pub-

lished on a free or paid basis.

Announcements begin-ning with the 25th anni-versary, and then in 5-year increments up to 60 years, can be at no charge. Other incre-ments will require a paid announcement. Anni-versaries of 70 years and more are available at no charge.

After 60th-year anni-versaries, SVM will pub-lish free announcements, without special wording, without the 5-year incre-ment restriction.

Birthday announce-ments with accompa-nying photos for area seniors more than 80 years of age can be at no charge without special wording.

There is a charge for those younger than 80.

G e n e r a t i o n s a n d reunions are for area

residents who are gath-ering for a family or class reunion. Items will be edited due to space limi-tations, and lists of all attendees are not avail-able in the free format.

Photos also are not available for a free announcement, but can be used in any of the paid announcements.

Note: A group photo for a class reunion can be submitted at no charge for the Scrapbook page of SV Weekend by email to [email protected] or in person.

Class reunions of 70 years and more will be available in the quarter-page format at no charge, with a photo allowed.

Five-generation and four-generation photos with names and relation-ships of those pictured may be submitted for publication.

There is a form avail-able showing the infor-mation acceptable for the basic (free) form, which covers one photo.

Multiple photos from submitters will need to be on a paid basis.

Both reunions and gen-eration announcements are, of course, available on a paid (custom) basis in quarter-page, half-page, and full-page form.

Note: Large group pho-tos with long lists of names may require at least a half-page paid announcement.

O t h e r c e l e b r a t i o n s include retirements, pro-motions, awards, honors, baptisms, confirmations, baby’s arrival (able to contain more informa-tion than standard birth announcements, along with a photo), and other occasions, customers may purchase a quarter-

page (one photo – two if space allows), half-page, (up to two photos) or full-page (up to four photos) paid announcement in Celebrations on a custom basis.

Paid announcements can be proofread before publication.

Customers will be called when the announcement is ready to be proofed. At that time, any corrections or additions can be made as needed. Proofs will be emailed without calls whenever possible.

For more information regarding Celebrations, contact Andrea Mills at 815-284-2222, ext. 575, or 815-625-3600, ext. 575, email [email protected] or call the classi-fied department at either number. Celebrations announcements may be sent to [email protected] via email.
