Is it rude not to send "save the date" and just send the invitations? FI and I just decided to get married in Vegas this coming August and I don't know if we should be sending STD... Our wedding will be very simple and small and we are just inviting close friends (approx. 10 people only). After the ceremony at the chapel we will take our guests for dinner (we won't have reception).... We are in June basically and my wedding is in August; I thought about just send the invitations bc usually STD are sent about 6 months before ... What do u think?
