August 2009 brides

[Jacilynda]

I already knew who was coming, and who wasn't before I did the invites. I did them anyway, cause I know if I hadn't I would have regretted it later. I think it makes the guests feel more invited too.

Ladies, do you think with a destination wedding,sending our STD, having our coordinators send flyers to potential wedding participants of reminders to pay for the hotel and the cost by a certain date (well, that is what my coordinator here in NY did), that an invitation is necessary? I want to do one, but....

Personally, I am sending STD's with flyers detailing everything. Then I am sending invites to only those that book by the time I want to send invites (most likely a month or two bf the wedding) and 'important' immediate family members that cannot go (e.g. grandparents too elderly to travel, etc.).

Oh.. sorry and welcome Glamourina!!

 

And, I booked our flights yesterday! Yippy!!!!

Thanks for the welcome!

 

Here's a question for you August girls.. I was talking to one of my vendors and he was very surprised that I was having my wedding reception outside. He said that August Mexico weather would be 100F even at night and it would be really uncomfortable for my guests.. I've seen a lot of brides on this forum get married in August but I don't want my guests to be dying from the heat.. What are you girls doing for your reception?
