Invitation etiquette

Sheila, on June 9, 2019 at 4:31 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 7
My wedding is scheduled for this Coming August. It’s going to be a party of 15 only. I’m not a person who frequently plans events so I’m new at this. I’m very unclear about invitation etiquette. Questions:
1- is proper or required to invite “officially” my guests (mailed invitations)
2- can I only invite by email?
3-what is the timing etiquette? It’s going to be a ceremony at a restaurant and then dinner there. How in advance is proper?
Help! 😓😓😓

    I personally think that important events like weddings warrant a physical invitation. If I received an email invitation, I wouldn't take it seriously and surely wouldn't feel like one of the 15 most important people in your life. That number of invitations should be super inexpensive.

    Invitations should go out 6-8 weeks before the wedding.

    Have you talked to your guest about it. Invites tend to go out 8 weeks early however most people let family and friends they want there ahead of time. Since vacation, concerts and other activities may be planned. I think with email invites the biggest thing would be them getting deleted by accident.

    You could do a simple invitation and have rsvps online.

    Yes I have told them but I wasn’t sure if it was needed 🌷🌷☺️Thank you for your advice. It’s true, emails don’t work specially with the older members of my family

    I would say since is a small wedding you might be able to get around what’s etiquette or not or what works for you best. It also all depends on how formal you want your wedding to be even if is small. You might want to send evite instead of emails to make it a bit more formal but for 15 guest you can buy a template and print it at your local store and it won’t be more than $20 and it would have a nice touch. Again all up to you.
