Publishing a wedding announcement in a newspaper is part of the process that precedes the issuance of a marriage licence in Greece. One of the most common questions couples have is how much a newspaper wedding announcement costs and how they can compare the available options.
There is no single fixed publication price. Each newspaper applies its own pricing policy for social announcements, and the final cost may depend on the newspaper, its pricing method, the length or format of the text, and any specific publication requirements.
For this reason, newspapers should be compared based on the actual cost of publishing the wedding announcement, rather than the cover price of the newspaper itself.
As of the date this article was updated, the indicative cost of a standard wedding announcement across the available newspaper options ranged from approximately €8 to €60.
This range is indicative and should not be considered a fixed price list. Prices may change by newspaper or over time, and some announcements may cost less or more depending on current rates and the requirements of the text.
Publees displays the current price when you select a newspaper, allowing you to compare the actual publication cost before completing your order.
Compare Prices & Start Your Publication
The price is not determined simply by whether a newspaper has national, regional or local circulation. One of the main factors is the pricing policy applied by each publisher to this specific type of announcement.
Each newspaper may use a different pricing method for wedding announcements. For example, a publication may have a fixed price, be charged according to the number of words, or vary according to the format and specifications of the announcement.
The price you pay to buy a newspaper should not be confused with the cost of placing a wedding announcement in it. A local newspaper may have a lower cover price but charge more for publishing the announcement. Conversely, a national newspaper may have a higher cover price while charging less for certain types of social announcements.
Where a newspaper calculates its fee according to word count or the space occupied by the announcement, a longer text may increase the final cost. Other newspapers may apply a predetermined price for a particular wedding announcement format.
Prices for social announcements are determined by each newspaper and may change over time. It is therefore advisable to check the current publication price when placing your order.
There is no general rule that local newspapers are always cheaper than national newspapers, or vice versa. The most economical option depends on what the individual newspaper currently charges to publish a wedding announcement.
It is therefore useful to compare the available options before proceeding. A lower newspaper cover price does not necessarily mean a lower wedding announcement publication fee.
Price, however, should not be the only factor when choosing a newspaper. The place of residence of each person getting married and the requirements of the competent authority issuing the marriage licence should also be taken into account.
The appropriate newspaper is connected to the place of residence of each person getting married and the requirements of the competent authority. If the two individuals live in different areas, the appropriate publication may need to be considered separately for each person.
Specific requirements may vary between municipalities or other competent authorities. For this reason, we recommend confirming the current requirements with the authority responsible for issuing your marriage licence before choosing a newspaper.
Price comparisons are most useful when they compare the same type of publication using the actual rates charged by the available newspapers.

There is no single newspaper that is consistently the cheapest in every case. Publication charges differ between newspapers and may change over time, so it is advisable to compare current prices before making your choice.
Not necessarily. The newspaper's cover price and the cost of publishing an announcement are separate charges. A local newspaper may be cheaper to buy but more expensive for placing an announcement, while some national newspapers may have a higher cover price but charge less for certain wedding announcements.
The appropriate newspaper depends on the place of residence of each person getting married and the requirements of the competent authority issuing the marriage licence. If the two individuals live in different areas, a different newspaper may be required for each person. We recommend confirming the applicable requirements with the competent authority before publication.
