Advanced Newsletters??

BecBennett · September 19, 2008

Hello! I'm a new poster, but I've been lurking for a little bit.

I've had a search around, but so far I haven't seen anything quite like I'm after...

What I'm looking for, is some examples of letters or emails or anything like that, that was sent out really far in advance of the weddng - in my case, it will be roughly 2 years...

I want the letter to explain that we're considering a DW, where it would be and a rough date for it. I'd like to find out from the newsletter how many people would consider being able to make it, and how many couldn't possibly make it.

I'd also like it to explain, that whilst we would love for them to be there, we will understand if they can't make it...

Has anyone done anything like this? What sort of response did you get? Can I see a copy of it to read through your wording? Any suggestions would be great!

Thanks!!

I can't help with all of it but this might answer part of your question. I took this from our STD's:

We have chosen the Riviera Maya for our destination wedding. The beautiful white sand beaches and lush rainforest make it the perfect location to start our lives together.

While we would love everyone to come, we understand that because of the distance and cost not everyone will be able to be with us in the Riviera Maya. So we will be holding a celebration in Michigan upon our return home.

Please do not feel bad if you are unable to attend our wedding. While we hope you will be able to come, the greatest gift you can give is to celebrate with us whether in the Riviera Maya or at home in Michigan.
