Invites for an intimate wedding

in Wedding Invitations & Paper
Hello,

We are having a very small wedding with no wedding party and no officiant.  All of our guests will be family and they will be travelling.  Should I try to write my own invitations?  There are less than 20 people on the list and they live at 6 addresses.  Would it be polite to send each individual their own invitation or would that be odd since they live in the same places?

I have no idea where to begin with an invitation, but I really wonder if anyone would spend the time to help me send out 6 invitations.

I would love any advice that anyone has to offer.  I have only begun to think about invites, but may be booking a venue for this Spring and may need to send them out soon.

Warm regards,Nico

    Even though it's a small wedding, I would still send out some sort of invitation. Vista Print has really inexpensive ones and you can upload your own designs if you want.

    As far as sending one to each person, I would send one invitation per couple. Children under 18 can be included on their parents'. I would send a separate invitation to each adult over 18 who is single.

    When is your wedding? Invitations go out 6-8 weeks prior to the wedding.

    ETA: If your planner is correct, you are not marrying until Sept. 2013. You should not be thinking about invitations until next spring at the earliest, and they shouldn't be sent out until late June of 2013 at the earliest. I honestly wouldn't worry about it this far in advance, even if you do end up booking a venue. If they will have to travel, you might mention via word of mouth to family where and when your wedding is when you see them, but not send out formal invitations yet.

    Sorry for the confusion, but we are trying to move our date up now that we have decided to have the smaller wedding.  If the venue that seems appropriate for this size of a wedding is available, we will have the wedding this Spring.  Since this is a destination for them (not for us), I figure I need to let them know soon after I know and I am assuming I don't just get invitations the next day, so I asked in order to learn how to go about it.

    And, families are very mixed up and confused these days.  I have one address that has three generations, with four adults, and one child.  So, I guess that means that they get 4 invites?

    I will look into Vistaprint.  It looks as though the timing will be just right if I hear from the venue soon.  I am working on this right now in between doctor's appointments and school quarters so I am trying to tie up as many loose ends as I possibly can.

    Thanks to both of you for the suggestion.
