FI and I are planning on getting married at the courthouse in May. The room itself seats about 30 people, so guests and photographers are allowed. We plan on inviting our immediate family and a few close friends as well as having a photographer, about 25 people in all. Afterward, we plan on a nice dinner in the banquet room of Maggiano's with our guests to celebrate.
Should we send out invitations for this? How would I word it and what details should I include? Should we give favors and have any kind of toast or activity at the dinner?
Any suggestions on how to further personalize our day and make our guests feel welcomed, special, and comfortable would be great!
