"Formal invitation to Follow"... does this really need to be put on STD's??

I don't think it has to be..

I think most would say yes. We didn't put it on ours though. It looked too crowded. Instead, we put our website info to direct guests there. The website had all the information saying formal invitations would be sent at a later time.

I would say yes if you are sending them to anyone of an elder generation, but it may not matter. We put it on ours and one of FH's grandpas let us know he "received his invitation" the other day. LOL

We didn't on ours. I think guests will assume that if you're taking the time to mail them that then they are invited.

I dont see the point of putting it on there as one would think it's just pointing out the obvious. You wouldnt send a save the date to someone that wasnt invited

Yes-- put it on. STDs are a relatively new concept and some people might think they are the actual invitation. Not a huge deal, but they will be wondering why it doesnt list the start time, address, etc.

We didn't but Barbara and Jet are right that you will probably get the received the invite, when is the RSVP date questions from the older generation.

We sent Paperless Post save the dates and several of my fiance's older relatives asked such questions or let us know if they would be there or not in the comments. LOL. That was in fact helpful though because we could start marking true numbers attending.

It's a nice touch. we put the website on there too.

in our case it helped because one miss busybody told a lot of the older guests they probably wouldn't know about the wedding as our invitations were going to be issued via facebook.

really? we are in our 50s, not our teens! some of our guests are in their 70s and 80s and even 90s. does that sound like an idea we would go with?

there are always these winners in every crowd!

I would if you can fit it in. Some people don't understand that it is just a notifier. The older generations would appreciate it. Or if you can't squeeze it on there note it on the website.

We didn't put it on ours. i think its sort of weird to assume it's an invitation if there is no way to rsvp. you should be fine

I say yes. As others have said - some people honestly have no clue what STDs are and assume they are an invitation. Then they will be calling you to find out the time / location etc. It just makes things clearer to include that line.

It doesn't have to be but it usually is. I guess its a given. Up to u though. Do u have a pic of ur std this far?

We left it off of ours. I had some older guests asking FMIL and my mom about why our invitation was so bare bones lol.

I put it on my STD and still half of my guests called asking how to RSVP.... its still a fairly new thing to some. In my case it didn't matter they still were confused!

We didn't... Only reason is because we completely forgot to and didn't notice till after we sent out the save the dates. We did a magnet and it says save the date and we haven't heard any questions about not getting and invasion so I'm sure our guest are fine with it. Plus they will be getting the invite in like 2 months either way
