Hi all feeling a bit stressed and dont know what to do, after setting up a wedding site i've slowly been putting wedding info on so when we was to send invites out in march (getting married August) everything would be ready, anyhow been to book hotel for wedding night and i've managed to get discounted rooms for my guests, but i now need to inform all guests about booking there rooms now as they cant hold them if they have an event or function going on, which according to another hotel who has put there prices up by £130 for 1 night there is something going on, but cant tell me what, i've had a look at grand prix etc or moto x (usual things) but cant see whats happening. Sooo im now having to fb message ppl about website so they can view all accommodation offered to them, and there they will see all the info about the wedding, i feel bit c$$p now thinking is there any point sending invites out when its just a repeat of what they already know, i dont want them thinking jeez we know when wedding is stop hounding us kind of thing :/ what would you do? x

I would still send invites, purely because it is just nice to have that paper to hand just to remind the date and time etc. Even though its in August, which isn't fair away, people might thinks its a certain time and cant remember and might just want to check. I wouldn't see it hounding as it is just traditional to send out invites :) I would still send them. x

Are you able to provisionally block book some rooms and then your guests can confirm the booking and pay when they receive the invites? If not I would probably send the invites out early - can't hurt to allow people a little more time to start looking forward to your big day and it means you should be able to get all your RSVPs back nice and early too (no last minute chasing required). If you do decide to send the invites out later then most guests will want to keep the invite so would appreciate getting one even if they do already know all the info.

Oh Def send the invites out. In a way I'm the same as it's only 50 coming in the day all family and very close friends but the invite is the first 'real' thing I've had if that makes sense? Stop stressin :) x

just get the invites sent out. i sent mine in october for a end of march wedding so it was pretty much 6 months away. you will be fine x
I would send the information now, kind of as a save the date thing, and then do formal invites anyway. Your invites form part of the whole image, and tie in to any theme or logo you have, so it's still worth doing them. Although if you can get the invites ready quickly I would do them now; we're sending ours now for an August wedding in case people are booking holidays.
30th August 2014 was the best birthday ever.
It was the day that I became Mrs. Dixon.

Thanks guys :) looks like i will be sending them early do you think it matters that the rsvp date not until 1st may? x
CommentAuthorShowgirl
Doesn't matter at all. Most people will be really excited and will RSVP straight away anyway so the date will be arbitrary to most of your guests.

Definitely still send invites as they're the formal bit that ppl know they're definitely invited, I'd be a little unsure about going myself if I didn't receive a formal invitation x
