We are getting married in October and have guests coming from ALL OVER, multiple states, and even other countries. I thought it would be a great idea to do save the dates to give people plenty of time to plan, and also to send a nice picture of ourselves to some friends and family that have not met our significant other yet (doing the photo postcard save the date). We took engagement photos, I ordered the STD cards, and I even bought the stamps. I'm just waiting for the cards to come in. But my fiance is resistant to sending these out! He keeps saying "what is the point of STDs really?" and I keep telling them that of course they are not required, but I just thought it would be a nice thing to do, so our friends and family could stick the postcard on their fridge or whatever as a reminder, and it's a cute card with our cute picture on it! He will respond "ok fine fine" but then trying to get him to give me addresses is like pulling teeth.
He lived in England for a few years when he was in grad school and a lot of his friends are there, so he says people in the UK "won't understand" the point of the STD or why we are sending it. Which is funny because people potentially traveling that far are EXACTLY who they are intended for. And when I bring up sending it to his relatives he just groans and goes "do they really need that?"
Is my fiance crazy? Should I keep nagging him for the addresses? I thought about just dropping it and sending them to my guests only, but I already spent money on the cards so that is kind of a waste. Also if anyone is familiar with customs in the UK, do you think that UK people would think they are weird? Or are they totally done over there as well?
