Hi there knotties-
About a week ago me and my FI were throwing around the idea of eloping. We eventually decided against it because I know my family couldn't afford it, and as much as they drive me nuts, it IS important that they are there. I think we finally concluded on something and I'm pretty excited about it =]
We are going to have a simple ceremony on a local beach (we are from central PA, so most likely a public Delaware beach). We will probably do that on a Wednesday and just have close friends and family there, and just have a lunch or something on the beach and relaxation. That Saturday we are going to have a big backyard reception at his parent's house. I am really really happy with this choice. It makes the most sense for us because we are getting our dream of getting married on the beach but our families don't have to break bank to be there, and neither do we.
Now my question is, how the heck do we do save the dates and invitations? Do we just do two of each? Because we weren't planning on inviting everyone that we want at the reception to the ceremony. Not sure what the etiquette is on this one. Ideas and opinions will be much appreciated!!
