Morning all!
We are doing a destination wedding in Vegas and in lieu of a rehearsal dinner (not doing a rehearsal) we are treating all of our guests to a "welcome party." We are renting a double decker bus and they will drive your party down the strip on a tour, stop for pictures at major landmarks, etc.
We are doing pocketfold invites (ordering my printable PDF on etsy today! yay!) and I would like to put all of this information on a separate card. Instead of a directions card (drive to airport, get on plane, fly) I feel like this information would be best, especially for those planning their travel.
How would you word this card? I'd like to make it a little fun... but get all the pertinent information across.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Re: Help with wording on Welcome Party Card (XP from invites and Vegas boards)
Here's our invite from the front
Here's what it says in the Welcome Party layer:
Crap - it's saved PDF so I can't upload it.
But it says...
Please join us for a
Welcome Party
on the eve of the wedding
April 19th, 2012
from 5-8PM
Beer, Wine and h'dourves will be served
ISLAND ATTIRE
Hope that helps!
maybe something about "private double decker tour bus will take our group to see all the important Vegas sights"
Also- we are going to provide some beer, but if someone wants different they will have to bring it. Do you think this is rude? We are hosting a 3 hour full open bar at the reception, so I kinda don't feel like getting our 50 guests tipsy in Vegas on our dime 2 nights in a row. Rude or Not rude?
Can't wait to see what you come up with!!! Good luck!
For ours, we had something similar to EmilyL...
Please join us for drinks and a casual dinner the night before the wedding.
Friday, April 27 at half after seven
Please RSVP for this event on the enclosed reply card.
I didn't specify what the drink or dinner would be, just figured people would find out when they get there!
I like your idea to include the info about the private bus tour, that is a super cool event and will get people that much more excited about the weekend

It has cute graphics throughout.
We put a card in our pocketfold with all of the week's activities so guests knew about it as soon as they got their invitations. You can see a picture of it on my blogs, if you like. The link is below.
