Mentioning group activities for destination wedding guests
Our wedding plans are to get married at a resort on a Saturday. Our immediate family and close friends are joining us from Friday to Monday. The event will be very simple. We just want to get married and make sure everyone has fun while we do it. A beach ceremony at sunset, two hour cocktail party with hors’dourves and jazz music, then a group reservation for dinner at the restaurant. I would like to suggest group activities so we can spend time with our family and friends but would rather not organize their time outside of Saturday night. For many this will be their first time at a tropical resort and I want them to enjoy a vacation, not just be at a wedding! I was thinking of putting in the welcome itinerary something like:
**We will be going to the Mayan Ruins on Sunday. Anyone who would like to join the adventure please be sure to sign up at the tour desk - if not - have a wonderful day in paradise.
**If you can stay awake after your day in paradise - let's all go to the Caribbean Show Sunday night!
Is this appropriate? If not, how should I go about this?

Dear Michigan Bride,
That sounds great to me. It is simple, warm, and direct.
Please note that if you are inviting your guests to dinner, you are expected to pay the entire cost.
