Icon now features engagement, wedding, and anniversary announcements
The Bluffton Icon now offers viewers an easy way to submit engagements, weddings and anniversary announcements. In addition, viewers may submit birthday announcements for senior citizens. We ask that birthday announcements be reserved for persons 90 and older, unless there is a special situation involved.
This is a free service offered by The Icon. We do not charge to have these items posted. Photos are accepted as jpg files. All announcements can be viewed on the Community page or under the Community tab on the home page. The announcement submission form is located at the top of every page, next to the Contact Us form.
