Hi!!!!
My fiance and I are from two different states and we feel it's only right to have two receptions. Our wedding is in one state at the end of July with another reception in his hometown a week later. Of course everyone is invited to both .... even though it is halfway across the country. We do already have a few that will be attending both. Anyway, any suggestions on how to word the save the dates?? I want people to know of both dates. Thank you SO much for any help you can give!

Re: Save The Dates - With TWO receptions....
But your wedding is not a rock band, it shouldn't go on tour.

[QUOTE]Haha, I LOVE all your responses!! Thank you so much. I should have clarified that it is my Finaces family that wants to have a second reception in their state. They want to pay for it. We just want to have a party out there.... who wants to plan TWO weddings! Maybe I should just send this thread to her? ;) Haha, probably not a good idea. Thanks again!

It doesn't matter who is planning and paying for it. You and your FI will be the ones that look bad because it will appear to all your guests that you are throwing two weddings.
It is okay to decline, especially when you have such a huge chance of coming off like an AW.
That said, if you must do this - invite everyone to the actual wedding. See who can't come and if it ends up being a TON of people, take up your IL's offer and have a BBQ or something.
