Neither!!!! I’m not doing save the dates, since we plan to only have about 20 guests and we’re not having a bridal party. Less expensive and less drama.

I asked my girls right away. The save the dates are in my mailbox! I'll be addressing and sending them this week. FH has been dragging his feet asking his guys.

Asking my wedding party. My MOH knew she would be my MOH anyway, but I have one person in mind for my bridesmaid so I am not too worried about that.
