Has anyone from a small community ever seen an wedding announcement posted in the local newspaper with date and time of event and reception included that on the bottom states "NO LOCAL INVITATIONS BEING SENT" ?? People in the town we live do this ALL the time. I'm not fond of it, but it is such a custom anymore that i'm afraid if we didn't do it people would come anyway. Word of mouth travels faster than ever anymore with social networking and such. What are your thoughts on this? It kind of puts a damper on preparing food etc. for a certain amount of people when you could guess wrong by over 100 or more both ways?!?! Help?!?
