Hi I'm new to this forum and need a little help. I'm planning an intimate wedding with max 40 of our closest family and friends. Most are couples so about 20 invitations. We will have a ceremony followed by a sit down dinner, then cocktails and marshmallows by a fire pit. Everything will be in the same location. Do I still need to send save the date cards? how far in advance if so? Thank you.
Re: Save the date needed?
People on social media make assumptions about whether or not they're invited or are welcome to tell it like they think it is about wedding information posted there, and justified or not, one or both sides often end up with hurt feelings. So don't create a save-the-date event for your wedding on Facebook.
I won't do that then, even though the event would have been a private event and only ppl invited could see it. Honestly I don't think anybody's feelings will be hurt because we are inviting all of our VIPs so anyone else shouldn't expect to be invited. BUT if anyone was to get offended I could care less because unfortunately I can't please everyone and there's always that one person not matter what.
Yeah, that's not a good attitude to have. Sure, you can't please everyone. And, that's not a cop-out for not caring if people get offended. Seriously, though, keep wedding talk off Facebook. I got a Facebook save-the-date for a wedding and I found it to be tacky as hell.
Yeah I never use fb for any event before or post anything very personal. I'm currently planning a 1st birthday party and even for that I sent the cutest invites by mail. I like making my guests feel very special so I even customized the envelopes. I guess I should just send save the dates for the wedding by mail.
