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. Those paying for announcements will have the opportunity to proof them before publication.

Customers wil l be contacted when the announcement is ready to be proofed. At that time, any corrections or additions can be made as needed at SVM’s Dixon

and Sterling offices. For convenience, proofs will be emailed without calls whenever possible.

Photos may be submit-ted in color or black and white, and in any size. Emailed photos should be in JPEG format with a res-olution of 200 and a width of at least 5 inches for best quality. All announce-ments can be printed without photos if desired.

Celebration forms are available at the Telegraph and Daily Gazette clas-sified departments or by email.

Sauk Valley Media is not responsible for errors due to unreadable informa-tion. A daytime phone number and email address (if available) are requested to help to ensure accuracy.

Weddings are available in basic (free) form (one photo only of the couple),

quarter-page paid (one photo), half-page paid (two photos), and full-page paid (up to four pho-tos).

The wedding form should be returned prefer-ably within 2 to 4 months after the wedding date.

Engagements are avail-able in basic (free) form (one photo of the couple), two styles of quarter-page paid (one photo only), half-page paid (two pho-tos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

Anniversary announce-ments are available in the basic (free) form (one cur-rent photo only of the cou-ple, no older than 5 years), quarter-page paid (one or two photos), half-page paid (two photos), and full-page paid (up to four photos).

Announcements begin-ning with the 25th anni-

versary, and then in 5-year increments up to 60 years, can be at no charge.

Other increments will require a paid announce-ment. Anniversaries of 70 years and more are at no charge in a paid format; the announcement size will be determined by the editor.

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

Birthday announce-ments for area seniors 80 years of age and older can be at no charge without special wording. There is a charge for those younger than 80.

The basic (free) form (one current photo of the individual), quarter-page paid (one or two photos), half-page paid (two pho-

tos), and full-page paid (up to four photos) are available.

For 100th and older birthdays, SVM will pub-lish free announcements in a paid format; the announcement size will be determined by the edi-tor.

Reunions are for area residents who are gather-ing, or have gathered, for a family or class reunion.

Reunion items will be edited due to space limi-tations, and lists of all those attending are not available in the free for-mat.

Photos also are not avail-able for a free announce-ment, but can be used in any of the paid announce-ments. If a large group photo is submitted, only one can be used in the quarter-page format, one photo is recommended

in the half-page format, and up to four normally can be used in the full-page format. Large group photos with long lists of names may require at least a half-page paid announcement.

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

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

For more information regarding Celebrations, contact Andrea Mills at 815-284-2222, ext. 5575, or 815-625-3600, ext. 5575, email [email protected] or call the classified department, ext. 5655.
