All of my guests are local and my wedding is on a Saturday night in the summer. Should I be sending out save the dates? My invitates are going out in May anyways so I don't know if its really necessary or wasted money. Any opinions? Also, I don't know how I feel about STD invites, sometimes I think they are tacky. I might rAther send out an elegant formal wedding invitation. Any opinions?
Re: Save the dates necessary?
I only did Save the Dates because my wedding is June 29th, weekend leading into 4th of July week. Also, my wedding is at Lake of Isles at Foxwoods. Though this is far from a destination wedding, to many Rhode Islanders (majority of my guests) its too far away to go without staying the night. The location being at the casino also seems to make more people want to book a room for the night, so they can party into the morning.
If your wedding is this summer, its kind of getting late for save the dates.
