     3 Weddings?  

My fiance and I decided to get married (first for both of us) in a month. I have two sets of parents living in seperate states and he and I live in the same state his mother lives in. Thats 3 different states! One question would be if it was alright to have a small wedding ceremony in each state so that all parents are included as well as other relatives that live near each? (If so the weddings would take place all in the same year)



My second question would be if it is ok to have 3 then when would be the appropriate time to send announcements out? They will be very small weddings so no invitations will be sent out. Only announcements. After the legit one (first one)? Or after all 3 weddings? I am not sure how I would go about that becuz if I send out announcements after the first one then wouldn't there be some confusion for the people that would be going to the second ceremony and not the first?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Yes they are unable to travel (poor health plays a big role in two sets of parents) that is why we are needing to have a ceremony in each state. But I am unsure if we can or should even do that.

Have you considered live video of the event?

You can consider three options:

1) Have wedding video taped and edited to video dvd and send to friends and family who could not attend;

2) Have weddng in rented facility that has teleconferencing capability such as resort, university, county clerk office. That way family members can attend in REAL TIME and view the wedding as it is happening.

3) Have wedding one day, and a couple of months later schedule mini receptions at the locations where your family lives. This gives opportunity to celebrate throughout the year.

Remember, ultimate decision should be based on what YOU want to do. When you try to please everyone is just becomes one big stress factor. Be sure to ask family for suggestions and feedback, so they'll feel included.

Actually I never did consider this live video thing. That would be something to think about. I am not sure how that would go over for people but yes this is a day for my fiance and I so I should always try to remember that.

Thank ya'll for the options. I really appreciate it!! You've given me things to consider and that has taken some of the stress off not knowing what option to do.
