First time to post. Situation...he married 2x. Me 1x. Getting married in St. John. Most people invited will not be able to come. Want to include information such as air, surrounding hotels, ferry costs etc to help those who may come. Wedding is Memorial Day, Reception to be held 4th of July weekend. How can I word the invitations as to invite all that recieve the invitation to come to the wedding but if you can not afford to do so, please make plans to attend the reception or both. (most people are coming from out of town). I really need help and am willing pay someone to write the invitations if you know of someone in the Nashville, TN area that can help. Regular invitations just won't work. Please help asap as I want to allow as many days before the wedding for others to make plans either way. Would like to include RSVP's as well. THANKS!
A Save the Date card would help. With this you could send it out now including all of the travel and lodging information. You could also mention the reception. These can be as informal as you wish. You are just asking your guests to save the date and what they are saving it for.
Your invitations could be just the same as all wedding/reception invitations. The dates and locations would be different is all.
Thanks for your thoughts and suggestions. I find them most helpful. I was concerned that I would exclude people who could not afford to come to the wedding because of the costs.
Should the directions and information about hotels etc be printed on the same "save the date" paper or is it appropriate to type this out in Word and include copies of that in each?
I would like to send the save the date now. Do I still need to send out wedding and reception invitations? One or both? Separate or together? And how soon? ie: 6 weeks from the wedding or 6 weeks from the reception since the wedding and reception are a month apart.
Thanks again for you advice and prompt attention. It is MOST APPRECIATED.
You could include all of the information now with the Save the Date cards. The info could be in word on separate pages. You would be sending these out now with your invitations to the wedding and reception six weeks from your wedding.
