Invitations for Intimate Ceremony

Steffani, on April 6, 2020 at 11:36 AM Posted in Planning 0 7
FH and I are pretty sure we are going to make the decision to have a more intimate ceremony with our immediate family only. We picked out invitations we loved when we were planning on more guests, but haven’t ordered them yet. We will need to send them out late May or early June. Now with the smaller ceremony, we are reconsidering the invitations. He feels it’s not necessary to get the more elaborate ones we loved since we are only having family now. I feel like we should still get them bc it’s not out of budget, we loved them, and will have them to keep forever. He wants me to make a simple invitation to send as a formality. What does everyone think? Should we skip the fancier invitations and just do something simple?

    If anything, having less guests would make me even more inclined to go with the more elaborate and expensive invitations. Immediate family are those that would keep them as keepsakes anyway.

    That’s what I was thinking too! I know our parents will hold onto them, and I’m already planning on keeping one for a wedding shadow box. I think his thought is it will be a more personal/sentimental touch if I make them, but we really loved the ones we picked out. I don’t want to regret not getting them.

    I agree that with less people being invited the less invites you’ll have to order so why not do the ones you love? It’s already in the budget and you’ll actually save money since you won’t be ordering the original quantity you thought you’d order. Go for it!

    Ditto! We’re having an intimate wedding but it doesn’t mean we’re keeping it simple. We’re incorporating all the details that are important to us.

    Exactly how I feel! I said even if it’s smaller than we originally planned, I still want it to be the wedding we hoped for with the same little details we imagined.
