My fiancé and I have chosen a venue for the wedding. It's about forty five minutes from his hometown and three hours from mine. Is that far enough distance wise to send Save The Dates to my family? I would think so but I am wondering about his also? I hear it is most commonly done for destination weddings but what is considered a "destination"? Just need a little direction. Thank you!!!
Re: Save The Dates?
we didn't send as many STD's as we plan to send invites. we sent them to family and people traveling that we really wanted to be sure are there.
ETA: Like PP you do not have to send them at all. Just let at least immediate family know the date via in person, on the phone, e-mail, text etc. And you most definitely do not have to nor should you send it to your entire guest list.
Save the date = invite
Once you send it, they're invited, no taking it back.
But we don't send to everyone on our invite list unless they're in the category above or are 100% invited. We sent to some of FI's friends because he really wanted to, and a few of my friends who travel extensively for work.
If you are trying to avoid the expense and can let your VIPs and family know, then it really isn't required.
