Second Time Around

I am needing advice regarding etiquette for my second wedding. My fiance and I will be going to Sandals Royal Barbados for a week and getting married while we are there. We have told our familes and friends and the ones that are able to go are. Should I send out invitations anyway letting others know our plans. We don't want to offend anyone by sending invites, knowing they are unable to join due to finances, kids, etc. but do want them to know they are in our thoughts. Would it be too cheesy to just send a Facebook invitation to let others know our plans? We aren't looking for presents or money so thought i would just ask for people to send us their well wishes and wedding advice. Still too cheesy?? Or do i need to register somewhere so that those who are unable to go can do "something"? The thing is, we don't really need anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

If you want them to attend, you should send them an invitation. If you don't want them to attend, you shouldn't send them an invitation. I don't think that Facebook invitations are ever appropriate for a wedding, but especially not a destination wedding where you're expecting guests to spend thousands of dollars to travel, but you can't spend <$100 on invitations. If you don't want physical gifts, you shouldn't set up a registry. If people want to "do something" they will send a congratulations card with or without a gift.

I agree 100% with the PP. I was recently a second time bride and had a destination wedding as well. We sent out invitations to everyone that we would have loved to have join us even though we knew some of them would not be able to attend. I was shocked when we had 54 people actually come. We also did not register and many people just gave us gift cards or money, even though we didn’t want gifts either.
