Announcements at same time as invites


Recommended Posts

Is it okay to send out announcements at the same time as invites?  No one is attending our wedding and our AHR is just immediate family and a handful of life long friends.  We have had a lot of people asking when they will receive info about our wedding and where we are registered even though they know we are not having a ceremony or party for them to attend.  What are your thoughts?

We are not doing an engagement announcement.  I know traditionally wedding announcements are sent after the fact however with our event being so low key we were hoping to it out prior to our wedding.  Again, we have had a lot of people asking us what our plans are and what they can get us, even though they know there is no party in it for them.

 

What if I worded the announcement as we were engaged on the date and will be married on this date?

what is the rush on sending the annoucements?  We are sending out wedding invitations out as the same time as our AHR invitations.  We are not send out annoucements, majority of AHR guests are not attending the DW, but I want everyone to feel included.

Hmmm...  Etiquette says that wedding announcements are sent after the wedding and its only sent to those folks who weren't invited to the wedding but you still want to share your special news with.  I personally wouldn't bother sending an announcement for that reason.  I submitted an engagement announcement to our local newspaper a few months after we got engaged and we had picked a date & location so it could be printed in the engagement announcement in the newspaper.  We are not having an AHR.  So, we invited only those folks who we really wanted to attend (120 people, I still cant get over that!).  All of the invited guests won't be able to attend, but at least they got an invitation.  For those folks who we would've wanted to invite had it been a traditional wedding at home, we are sending wedding announcements.  

 

Again.. that's what "etiquette says".  But...these days, go with whatever you want to do!  : )

    • Hi everyone! I have been doing lots of research on various wedding venues all around Mexico, my fiance wants a destination wedding and I am happy to have a wedding wherever so long as the vibe is right and guests are happy!  I have been seriously looking at Cabo Azul and was trying to find potential costs for them, but only found a page about their wedding costs from 2010. Does anyone have any updated information on costs / reviews they would like to share of this venue? Or advice in general, anything helps. Thanks so much, happy wedding planning to all!
    • Hello everyone, I am dreaming of a wedding in Costa Rica and was wondering if I could get any help with venues and wedding planners. I am thinking Tamarindo because a close friend of mine lives there and I've been in town more than a couple of times, she's being helpful but is at a loss when it comes to this subject really so I was wondering if anyone here had recommendations. I am not closed to other town suggestions either, if I happen to find a good place and staff somewhere else. These are the places I have so far, has anyone had any experience with any of them?  Stay In Tamarindo Luxury Villas in Costa Rica Luxury Villas Pinilla Tropical Homes of Costa Rica The Point Luxury Villa Thank you so much for your help!
