Destination Wedding Save The Date Cards

I am planning a destination wedding for 2009 in September I am only invited close family and friends. I want to give them enough time to save if they wish to join us. We pay for our trip Parrent. We do not really want someone else invited him to feel pressured to come if they do not really want or cannot afford it.so I do not know about the wording. We expect to have a reception for all those who could not do when we return. I do not know what is the best way to let them know as soon as I can It's much too early for formal invatations you cannot book accommodation or flights until 12 months before.

Fiance and I are planning a wedding in June 2008.

What my fiance and I are doing is sending the first invitations. We send them in April.

Then, when we say yes or no, we will send you all the "yes", "SA record the magnetic card date of their refrigerator. This will help save on costs. We will send these around July of many hotels bookings only 330 days in advance.

We could send another reminder three months before the date just in case we forget that they responded to the invitation.

First ... CONGRATULATIONS! It is so great that you have decided so in advance and you are so attentive to your guests. But do not be too worried too early ... There are so many things about a marriage that will give you nervous, just do not start worrying too early.

If, as you say, you inviting only close friends and family to the marriage, the tone of your Save the Date "cards could be informal, informative, fun and relaxed ...

What I mean is that it does not include the wording of a typical card Save the date. It should reach the same goal, but including all the information you want to convey to your guests that you would like to have them there, but do not feel pressured if they can not afford it, they are welcome to make reservations in advance as possible to enjoy lower prices, there will be a reception later for those who can not do, etc.

Use your own language and begin to write a letter to be personal, engaging, thoughtful and with a "happy" feel. It appears that you have really at heart the people you want to invite. I'm sure everyone appreciates.

Good luck and best wishes!

The best way is to send invitatioms the normal way.

presence of Jane and Joe have the honor to request you to marry on 1 May 2008 at the Marriott Hotel in Aruba.

or as you want the word.

Then your card receipt:

Please join us when we return from our wedding reception on May 12, 2007 ....

So maybe for your response card, you can have options

I will attend the ceremony ______
______ Reception
______ Times
I regret decline______

Congratulations As a consultant for the bride, I had a client in the same situation ... She has sent save the date cards, which escaped the place (which was in Las Vegas) and she only sent the cards to invite people on the list .. On the site of the couple, she went into details about the destination, cost, etc. She also had an article that says, "can not make this event, so join us at the house for a party of host. This helped to communicate the big picture for friends and relatives, some of whom even lived outside the country.

Good luck to you!
