Josie - Your invitations look awesome!!!

[Gr8ful]

Everyone's invitations look so good! I'm glad I'm on this thread, b/c it is kicking me in the butt to get these done! This is my goal for the weekend, however I have two questions:

 

(1) What timeline do you use to get the responses back? 1-2 months b/f the date? I'm not sure.

 

(2) Is anyone having an adults-only reception, and how are you handling this? My FMIL has offered to help with a nanny for that night, has anyone considered this? I'm wondering.

 

PS. MegaShay -- your welcome dinner invites make me want to go to your party right now for a margarita!

 

Josie -- your mom is so sweet to help out with invites -- it's so nice to have someone take that off of your hands! They turned out beautifully!

Gr8ful - Thank you

I have no idea when to expect respone cards. My guess is that they will come back sporadically. We put a date of 10/18/09 I think as our final date.....but I'm sure people will book even later than that because we have some "last minute" types in our crowd!

We're not having an adult only reception, so I'm unhelpful in this regard! But that is nice of your FMIL!

best wishes

I am getting married Nov 6th, and request response cards be sent back by Sept 15th.

I am not sending my invites out until mid July and I am going to put an RSVP date of Aug 15 or Aug 30. I think people pretty much know now wether or not they are coming.

Josie, your invites look great! They really set the tone for what's to come in Mexico. So nice of your mom to help too!!

 

Do you guys know anything about bringing homemade cookies to Mexico?? I was thinking about having some as our favors? Thanks
