My younger brothers were married before me so they started the tradition of splitting the holidays between the families. One year with the in-laws and one year with our family. My youngest brother is lucky - he spends the in-law Christmases in Aruba! This year is tricky for us because it's the first year we are traveling home from TX to MA to be with our families. We have created a spreadsheet to help us figure out how to fit in everyone while we are home. It's going to be a challenge!
We used:
Yes! Save us a beach chair or No, we sunburn too easily.
Just remember to add a line for the guest's name. We made the mistake of forgetting and then needed to guess who the responses came from on a couple of them. I think we still have one yes RSVP without knowing who it belongs to even with sending out emails asking for people to let us know if it was them..
Congrats! and welcome. I think you will love Aruba
I am biased, though, my sister-in-law is from there and my brother's wedding was in Aruba...one of the best weeks of my life and it wasn't even my wedding!
