overwhelmed! looking for friendly advice

Here is our plan! we are getting married on lake Mc Donald in Glacier National Park on July 28th 2014! it is a very very private ceremony just us with our parents. when we return we are having a back yard rustic wedding reception August 16th 2014. I'm stressed because I don't know what to send out when lol. I feel like if i wait to send out "we eloped" after we got back it isn't going to give my family time to book to fly to mn from az for our party. so my thought is do I just send formal we eloped out the day before we leave to Glacier and prep my family with a your invited  in like 2 months and then just let them know a formal invite is in the mail. the rest of his side all live in MN so I figure 3 weeks will be enough time to get a half a day off  after all it is more of a get together to celebrate we finally got hitched after 8 years lol

  • Why not just send something out being honest? Just say that you are getting married in a small, private ceremony, but would be honored to have them attend a post-nuptial celebration after your return.  Or you could send out a Save The Date notice for the party, just referring to it as your post-nuptial celebration, rather than wedding.

  • Agree with PP - Maybe just send a std that says something like "Please save August 16, 2014 to celebrate our marriage!  We'll be having a private wedding ceremony in July and can't wait to celebrate with all of our friends and family in MN at blah blah address at whatever time."
