Second Weddings

invitation or announcement?? which is appropriate...?

This will be my second marriage. we are having a destination wedding in Vegas. Most likely very small. Just ourselves and close family (less then 16 people total)  Do I send invitations, knowing most friends wont attend because its out of state; or do I send announcements out to everyone? I would like to register for some simple gifts but do I include the registry with what ever is sent out, or should I not bother since it is my second marriage. I am unsure of what is appropriate. my husband to be has never been married before and prefers to keep everything simple as possible thus the reason for the small wedding. any suggestions would be much appreciated.

    Send invitations to the people you would like to attend.  They decide whether or not it fits their budget and respond accordingly.  Send announcements shortly AFTER the wedding to announce it to those you didn't invite (small circle).  Go ahead and register, but...Registry information is NEVER included with either, first, second or thrity third wedding. ~Donna

      Register so that guests will know what to get you.  You can put your registry information on your wedding website or post it somewhere else.  However, Donna is right.  Never post it with your invitation.  
       If you send everyone and invitation, those who can come, will come.  You never know who will be able to.  You are more likely to get gifts from guests who receive a wedding invitation whether they come or not.  Few people send gifts when they receive a wedding announcement.  I hope you have fun planning your Vegas wedding!
