I'll post a couple pics if i can figure out how!
I have a question about invitations: What rsvp date is everyone giving? I sent out SODs back in July, and will send a reminder email to book rooms Oct. 1 (the rate is only guaranteed until Oct. 15), so I was viewing the invites as a formality, which we'll be sending out Nov. 1, and was planning on putting December 15 for the rsvp date for my Jan 25 wedding. But I'm thinking maybe I should put December 1, just so I know by then, in case there are any stragglers. The woman at the stationery store is against it (I guess from a strict etiquette standpoint, it's not proper, but I think with a destination wedding, etiquette is more flexible). What do you think? Thanks!!! I said RSVP by Oct 1... if I know people are looking into it and have reached out to me I let them know they could take more time. But at least I have an idea whether people are serious or not. I'd recommend earlier, for your sanity!
Your shower sounds like it was fun! How exciting!
