Q.
I have already gotten my
invitations made with all the proper wedding announcement
etiquette. Since my invitations arrived, my fiancé and I have
changed our wedding plans a bit. Instead of the bigger
wedding we had planned, we have downsized to family members
only and do not want to waste our invitations. We would still
like to announce our marriage to our friends with the existing
announcements. Can we just put an insert in the card
announcing the change and what is the proper etiquette to do
so?
A.
Unfortunately, I'm afraid that there is no gracious way to use
the invitations you have for the guests you will no longer be
inviting.
By sending an invitation as an announcement -- either after
the event, or with some sort of insert explanation-- you make
it obvious that you
once considered inviting these people, but decided not to.
Even if there are really good reasons for the change in plans,
it is potentially rude and hurtful to send something that
makes the situation
so obvious.
Certainly, if the ceremony and reception times and locations
have not changed, then you can use them for your family
members. (Even people who know all the details of the wedding
usually like to have an invitation as a keepsake.)
The remaining invitations, however, will not be useable. With
the money you will save by not hosting a larger guest list,
you can have
announcements printed, if you wish.
However, the unused invitations are just a cost of having
changed plans. If this is the biggest wasted expense caused by
the change, you are
fortunate. Sometimes changing your wedding plans can be quite
costly on many fronts.
I hope that your new wedding plans work out well for you, and
that you enjoy and long and happy marriage.

Advice:
We would like to send out wedding announcements to our friends
that will not be at the wedding. We thought that including a
wallet-size wedding picture would be nice. However, the
pictures will not be developed until a month after the
wedding. Is this too late to send the announcements out? |
| |
Advice:
should the announcements be just from the newly weds or from
the parents like the invitations? Should they include the
elopement date and place? Since they do not receive mail at
their home, should only their PO box be mentioned; if so, how? |
| |
Advice:
We are having a private family wedding. After the wedding we
will send wedding announcements. How do we word our return
address? |
| |
Advice:
I would like to announce the engagement of my son and his
fiancé to friends and old neighbors who I haven't spoken to
in a while. This does not mean that they will be invited to a
wedding, (cost prohibitive,) it's simply to let them know that
they are engaged. Is this proper? |
| |
Advice:
The Groom's father is deceased. We would like to include
groom's father's name. is it better to include "at home card"
or just state"...now reside at.." |

announcements? |

| |
Advice:
We cannot invite all of our friends to the wedding and
reception. Are announcements for friends and family who live
far away (an acceptable thing to do?) Are announcements for
friends who live in the vicinity of the church rude? When
should announcements be sent out? |
| |
Advice:
Wording: Las Vegas Wedding:
We are having a reception one week later in our home town.
People are more than welcome to join us in Las Vegas, but I
don't want them to feel like we are asking them, but the
option is there. I was wondering if I should include the
wedding ceremony information as well as the reception
information. |

Advice:

We are sending them to people we could not quite afford to
invite to our wedding. I am keeping my maiden name. Can you
give us any suggestions? |
