Presidential
Wedding Greeting
by George Meszaros
Receiving a Presidential Wedding Greeting is easier
to obtain than you think. The White House Greetings
Office will honor citizens with a special Presidential
Wedding Greeting.
All greeting requests must be submitted in writing.
Brides and grooms can either mail or fax their
request to the White House Greetings Office. Faxed
requests should include the same information as
a mailed request as well as the name and phone
number of the sender.
If you decided to mail your request, you'll need
to send your request to:
The White House, Room 39 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue
NW Washington DC 20502
If you would like to fax your request, you need
to fax it to 202-395-1232.
Your request for the Wedding Greeting should
include the following information:
· couple's names · titles such
as Mr. and Mrs. · couple's complete mailing
address, including zip code · full date
of marriage, month, day, year
Your request should be submitted about four weeks
prior to your wedding day.
