Out of town wedding. Who do i invite?

I live in Las Vegas, but I will be getting married in Oklahoma. My parents and grandparents live there and they are unable to make it out here to Las Vegas and since they are the most important people that i want at my wedding....we decided to get married in their town.


So, my question is....Do i still send invitations to friends and family here in Las Vegas even though i absolutely know that they will not be able to make it to Oklahoma? Please, any help that you can give, I will be very grateful for.

Absolutely send invites to everyone that you would like to have at your wedding. You need to let them know that they are invited, even though they may not be able to come. You don't want to hurt their feelings. You never know, they may come and just make a big weekend out of it and have a little vacation!
Reply:Congrats on getting married. Yes, I do think you send the wedding invitations to any and all of your Friends that you would invite if your wedding would have been in Las Vegas. It may be surprised who shows up in Oklahoma for the wedding. And also those Friends may feel left out by not getting an invite. It is best for everyone if you send out the invites as if it would be a short drive for most of your Friends. Good luck and I hope you enjoy every minute of your wedding.
Reply:Invite the same people that would be on your guest list if you were having the wedding in town. They will decide if they want to travel to attend the event.
Reply:I'd still send invites to them just as a way to say "I didn't forget about you" if you know what I mean. Good question...I'd make a list of all the people that you think will not be able to attend because they are out of state or for what ever other reason and try to get those ones mailed about 5 weeks prior to the wedding. Better yet you could go ahead and have another reception over there so they could all attend. You could attach that to your invites. Hope this helps! Good luck %26amp; congrats!

if none of them come then you could throw a special party-if you like--after you get married to celebrate with your family and friends back in Las Vegas.
Reply:I don't know what the etiquette would be on this but I would make some calls first %26amp; feel people out to see if they could make it. I got married in Hawaii %26amp; I knew nobody would be able to go so there was no way in hell that I was going to spend that much money on invitations, envelopes, stamps, RSVP cards, etc. to have nobody show up anyway. Two of our friends came with us but that's only because they just happened to be planning a trip to Hawaii at that exact same time.
Reply:It's better to err on the side of sending out invitations if you can afford it, especially to very close friends and to people over 55 or so. They may feel slighted if you don't.





Otherwise, you can send out announcements to your Vegas friends after the wedding. The only rules about announcements are that they don't go to someone you sent an invitation to and they must go out after the wedding date.
