My Fiance' and I are getting married in Las Vegas. This is my second wedding and his first. I would like to send out some type of announcements of our wedding along with a response card for those on his side invited to the wedding. How can I combine a announcement and an invitation. I do not want anyone to feel that they must attend due to the fact that it is in Nevada and we live in Michigan, but I want them to also feel that they are welcome to attend. We would need a count of the number of guests before hand.

You can't combine an announcement and invitation since an announcement is sent after the wedding to announce that you have been married and an invitation is sent before the wedding to invite your guest to attend.

So, send invitations to anyone you want to invite and let them decide if they want to attend a destination wedding.

Then send announcements to any one not invited to the wedding who may need to be informed that you've been married.
