I'm 51, the first time I got married we eloped. No wedding, no reception. Nothing. I am now going to have a wedding. Small.Inviting immediate family and super close freinds.
My wedding is in June, I got engaged in August. My mother, sisters and brother do not know.
They have always been meddlesome in my life and are very critical about things I do. I have taken great pains to set up boundries and do things with them only in a limited fashion. I want to have most details of my wedding planned and arranged before I tell my family because then it will be too late for them to try to interfere.
Save the dates go out when? 6 months in advance? I hear and read a lot of varying time frames. We were thinking of sending save the dates in February. Everyone lives within 20 minutes of each other. There is no travel involved.
Do I tell them I'm getting married or is sending them save the dates to tell them I'm getting married too much drama?
