i have an STD question too!

A.a.A.

My mom and I are designing the STDs when I'm home for Thanksgiving, then getting them printed and sending them out around Christmas/New Years. We are having the wedding and reception in Honolulu, with the majority of our guests being locals and maybe 30-40 OOTers. Then we are having an AHR in California a few weeks later. My mom is thinking that we are going to need to send out 3 different STDs - 1 for the local Hawai'i people and OOTers 1 for the OOTers who are invited to the AHR too and 1 for the AHR who aren't invited to the hawaii wedding. What do you think? And how can I do the wording for the people who are invited to both???

Why not simplify and do one STD for the wedding and one for the AHR? That way you don't have so many different versions happening. To be honest, I don't know that I would even do a STD for the AHR - I'd probably just send out invites. It's not a wedding, so it feels like all that paper could be overkill.

I agree with Alyson...i wouldn't bother doing a STD for the AHR...invites should suffice...thus i would do 1 STD/1 invite for the wedding and 1 invite for the AHR.  J. :-)

We did the boarding pass STD.  It included both the Hawaii Wedding and the AHR.  If you were using the boarding pass, you can just put the AHR as an extra insert to the boarding pass.

I agree about having only a STD for the wedding and then do separate invites for the wedding and AHR. If you have a wedding website, you can put the info for your AHR on there too.

Hmm... I may have to jump on the bandwagon here and say skip the STD for the AHR...  that is definitely paper over kill and a lot of work on your part.  You could put all of the same info on one for both the locals and the OOT-ers.  I'm sur eteh local people will get it that you are having OOTers so they won't be surprised to see whatever extra info you plan on putting on the STD.If you do still decide to do one one for the AHR, maybe you could use something along the lines of "Second reception to follow in California on (date of AHR)"; or for those not invited to the wedding, you could maybe try something along the lines of "Aubrey & Kaiao will be tying the knot in Hawaii on October 10, 2010.  Please save the date for our local celebration on (date of AHR)".  You could also find some inspiration on verseit.comThis is one of my favorite for an AHR; it's kind of cheesy but if you modified it for a STD it just might work:You don't need a ticket or an advance reservation, just make waves to our wedding celebration. BRIDE and GROOM will be married on DATE LOCATION Please join them for a reception when they return DATE at TIME LOCATION ADDRESS CITY, STATE

thanks everyone! we are planning on doing postcard-type STDs... and your reasoning is right on... I guess we will do just one STD!!! And M&Ms - that wording sounds perfect for an invite - thanks! I'll save it!

Just wanted to agree - one STD for the wedding only is good. Simpler is better!
