  Phone call is fine. If your guest list is that small, chances are it's people you speak to on a regular basis and they will find out about the date, location, etc. just from speaking to you regularly anyway.

  A phone call or email is fine for any size wedding. Nobody *needs* STDs, but if you want to be sure the important people are there, they need to be informed of the date ahead of time in some way.

  I wouldn't bother with formal STD's. We had a small wedding, and let family know as soon as we set a date, roughly 3.5 months prior to the "festivities." It still gave my sister and her family plenty of time to get flight reservations from Europe.

  We just sent everyone an email once we set the date.  Worked out fine.

  STDs are never required, so you'd be fine doing that.

  You definitely don't need to send out Save the Dates but you can if you want to.

  STDs are never required.  I wouldn't send them out for your small of a wedding.

  STD cards are really only necessary if you're getting married on a holiday weekend or very busy travel weekend.  You don't have to send them at all if you don't think it's necessary.  Wedding invitations go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding and that's plenty of time for local people to make plans.  If you know you have some people that will need to fly or get a hotel, just send them an e-mail or give them a call with the wedding date so they can go ahead and make their arrangements.
