We got engaged on 02/19/2010 and want to get married in June. Needless to say we are in a time crunch! We are going to Hawaii to get married. We want a small wedding so my parents, brother, sister-in-law, niece and grooms mother will be going with us. We would like to have a shower before the wedding and a reception after we return. When reading about invitations this is what I found on what to send:
1)Save the date card (sent to those intended to go to reception upon return)
2)Shower invitation (sent to women only that are invited to the reception)
3)Wedding announcement/ reception invitation
That just seems like a lot of invites to the same people, but is this correct?
Also, since it is just immediate family going with us to HI should I get wedding invitation and send them to my family going and close family and friends that I know can’t won’t go?
We are hoping to get married in June (depending on when location is available). When should all these things be sent out and when should thing occur?
Is there a website or someone that can lay all this out for me?
Thanks for any and all help!!!
