My wedding is in July and I am unsure on what should be included and where to get my invitations from. Being on a military base we have to get everyone's birthday, full name, and middle initial and alphabetize them so that they can be given to the gate and guests are able to enter on the day of the event. How should this be presented to guests in an invitation? We are also having our reception and ceremony both on base but not in the same location and for those who are not familiar bases it can be kind of confusing, should we add something for directions from the ceremony to the reception? We are also doing a sit-down dinner with three dinner options for adults and a child option as it was more cost efficient than the buffet options. However, it requires us to also get each guests meal choice. My Fiances family is also from Texas and will be flying in. Where is it appropriate to put hotel suggestions?
How would each of these be presented to guests in the invitation?
Is there a certain order they should be put in, things that do not need to be included, or something I am forgetting?
I am getting very overwhelmed trying to figure out how and what to include and where to create them that won't be super expensive. I would greatly appreciate any suggestions and help! Pictures or examples would also be very helpful! THANK YOU!
