Need invitation help

[xcandilkx]

I am trying to get my invitations together for our wedding. We will be getting married in Cozumel during a Carnival Cruise. Can any of you let me know how you worded your invites? We plan to get married on the shore with a reception on board after, but I'm not sure how to word the where and when on the invite.

 

THANKS.

Hopefully this will help...

I did newsletter as invites and save the date, every one loved them because they gave so much information my TA did them and printed them out on high gloss colored paper so it cost me just postage-- good luck

My invitations wording is:

Together with their families

Me

and

FH

Request the honor of your presence

On Saturday, the fifteenth of August

Two thousand and nine

At half past ten in the morning

As they set sail on life's greatest voyage

And tie the knot aboard the

Carnival Destiny, Port of Miami

 

Reception to follow

 

My response card wording is:

 

Take the helm and respond by July 1, 2009

M___________

__ You beach ya' we'll be there for the wedding!

__ Ahoy mateys, we'll set sail with you all week!

__ Sorry, we're docked somewhere else that day.

 

Then I added a little card reminding people about the wedding website for the rest of the details. I like the way I did the response cards but most people who are sailing with us checked off both of the yes responses so it could have been a little more clear. HTH

I used the following wording for my invitations:

 

Together with their parents

ME

And

HIM

Request the pleasure of your company

Aboard their wedding cruise

On Princess Cruise Line's Ruby Princess

Departing on Saturday, the ninth of January

Two thousand and ten

From Fort Lauderdale, Florida, USA

 

 

Ceremony to take place

Tuesday, the twelfth of January

At Bluebeard’s Beach

On the island of St. Thomas, USVI

 

 

Because I used a pocket fold invite, I'll look to include a note that an invitation to our AHR will follow. Unfortunately we are unable to plan our AHR until after our cruise as my FI is in the military and we're not certain as to when he will be available (it was a big struggle for us to be able to secure our wedding date because of their scheduling).

We just left out the time (to give ourselves some leniency) and exact venue, listing just the city, country

 

On February 25, 2009

in Tulum, MX

 

We knew that the group would be with us at least a day or so before and that we could work the details out later.
