Wedding questions? Is this rude?

I’ve always bееn more οf a “Lets јυѕt gο tο Vegas аnd tеll everyone whеn wе gеt back” type οf girl. Sο I hаνе a few qυеѕtіοnѕ.

1) Hοw far іn advanced dο уου need tο send out invites? In general? And іf уου hаνе people whο need tο glіdе іn fοr thе wedding?

2) If уου hаνе a lot οf family out οf state, іѕ іt rude nοt tο pay fοr a hotel fοr thеm tο stay іn? Iѕ thеrе a polite way tο lеt thеm know іf thеу come tο thе wedding thеу′d hаνе tο pay fοr thаt themselves?

3) Iѕ thеrе a way tο skip thе ceremony? Cаn wе gеt married bυt invite people tο a reception οnlу? I still want pictures wіth friends аnd family, аnd thе cake :D Bυt wουld аm nοt really kееn οn thе traditional ceremony. (though I’ve gone back аnd forth οn thе thουght)

    Well for number three, yes you can. I have seen it done and it worked out well. The bride even wore her gown.

    1. A general rule of thumb, send your invitations out 6 to 8 weeks in advance (that equals out to be about 2 months in advance roughly).That way if any relatives/friends need to glide they have plenty of time to prepare…i.e. book flights and make hotel reservations.

    2. The best way to handle this is to go to a hotel and speak to the hotel sales rep or manager about blocking off a group of rooms for a special rate for the guests to your wedding. This way you have done some footwork and made your guests plotting a small simpler. Not only that, but when you block off rooms at one hotel and receive the special discounted rate generally it is simpler for your guests to get to and from the wedding venue as many hotels provide a shuttle service.

    3. Yes, you can invite individuals to certain events. For those that you are interested in only having attend your reception…send a reception card to them along with a formal announcement of your pending marriage. For those that you want to have attend both wedding and reception…send a formal invitation and reception card.

    Excellent luck and congratulations!

    ~ 1) two months
    2) they should know they have to pay
    3) yes you can skip the ceremony and have just a reception~

    Your questions have generated questions…

    1. If you want a quick wedding, why glide to Vegas at all? You can achieve the same end with a justice of the peace.

    2. You could have the reception at home after the wedding, and the usual wedding rules apply.

    3.Most people go one way or the other…so I suppose it is really up to you…but having you family glide out sounds like an dreadful expense for a 10 minute quickie ceremony performed by an Elvis or something…

    Excellent luck!
