Venue "rules" with invitation

Put them on your website, if you must. Most people know not to smoke inside a building.

Thanks for the input. I think most people know too, but my mom is really insistent on telling people...

Where do you live that you can still smoke inside of a building? I feel like that's pretty much common sense these days.

For unplugged ceremony you can have a sign, put on your website, or have your officiant make an announcement.

I agree with OriginalLaura. I'd put the part about the unplugged wedding on your website if you must. Otherwise, I think people know not to smoke inside the building.

Definitely website and word of mouth. It would not be appropriate to put something like that on an invitation.

Most places have no smoking signs posted, plus the lack of ash trays in your venue will probably cue them to the fact that there is no smoking

The rules should not be included in your invite. Put it on your website and start spreading it through word of mouth.

Many people know how to behave... Honestly, I would probably side eye a invite with etiquette rules on the back.

No. Invitations (which indicate hospitality) shouldn't be mixed with rules.

You pretty much can't smoke anywhere inside anymore, and unplugged can be gotten across in many different ways; website, word of mouth, announcements by the officiant or DOC.

No, not on your invite. People know not to smoke inside. Your website is acceptable for all of that information, and even if people don't read it ahead of time, have a sign when you arrive or the ushers telling people it's unplugged.

I agree, the website and word of mouth - and signs at the venue.

I've also had to think on an issue like this. We're getting hitched at a golf club and there's a HUGE fee if any one of us steps foot on the golf course - the boundaries of which are not marked, in any way. For $1500 I just might put an extra note in the invitation. And a huge notice in bold on the front page of the website. Sigh.

Agreed- website and word of mouth on the day.

I wouldn't put them on the invitation. I think no smoking is common sense, and your officiant can tell people about it being unplugged. If you must list it somewhere, put it on the FAQ on your website.

Have your officiant announce it. You can put it on your website as well, but FYI approximately 1 percent of guests visit wedding sites, .01 percent read it, and .00001 percent remember what they read, as evidenced by the 30 people who will ask you who will ask you when the wedding is after they've been walking past your save the date on their fridge for a month.

I agree with what everyone said so far. I wouldn't put it in the invitation. I think everyone should know there's no smoking inside. To me that's a given but if you're really worried about it putting it in your website or spreading it by word of mouth is the best way

Tell you mom it's not a high school prom lol , your right with sticking to wedding website

There are still places you can smoke inside?

This is ridiculous. People know that they can't smoke inside a building. No, you should not include a list of rules with your invitation. Are your guests adults? If so, then treat them like that and not as children who need to be told how to act in public.

I would honestly be insulted if there was a list of rules that came with an invitation I received.

Thanks everyone for the advice, glad to see everyone is on my side!! I'll stick to my guns and say we're absolutely not sending our guests rules with the invitations, probably not even on the website. No, the venue doesn't allow smoking, but she's "still worried" someone will light up under the tent (dinner is outside), but I've told her if she's worried about anyone in particular she should just talk to them directly. Thanks for the support

I think it's common sense to not smoke inside

We're getting married on a naval base that has strict rules, so we'll have to do the same thing
