My MIL lives in a small town in Eastern WA and she put one in the paper there for us. She named his parents and grandparents, and then bought copies for all of us. Everyone was really touched, and thought it was great!
My husband is from a really small island in SE Alaska (Wrangell), so we had a wedding announcement and our niece had a birth announcement. We haven't really talked about it yet, but, even if we didn't write one up, I'm sure my MIL would.
They make a cute keepsake and, as far as privacy, not many people are reading physical newspapers anyway.
