You cant invite people to a wedding reception if they dont know you are getting married. However, if you tell them before you get married they will wonder why they were not invited to the ceremony. This is a lose-lose situation, sorry.

Our wedding theme is butterflies too. I put "butterfly wedding" or "butterfly themed wedding" into a lot of search sites and came up with some good stuff. Also, you can go to sites that promote wedding themes and click on butterflies..they'll often bring up a bunch of vendors selling butterfly stuff. \nCongrats!

Try printfree.com! I know they have Thank you notes and graduation invitations. If they have that, they are bound to have wedding invitations too. Congratulations!

Absolutely not! It's a big etiquette faux-pas and considered gift-grabby. Whether you write it on the invitation or use a card to put with the invitation, it's tacky and a big no-no. Registration information should only be provided when requested by a guest, and only then. \nPeople are smart enough to know that they can ask for the information. \n\nIf you have other etiquette related questions I recommend the site http://www.etiquettehell.com\n\nThey have a forum where people will answer any and all questions.

Try the links of this group.  If you don't see one that works for you, send a message to the group with location and date, someone will bite.\n\nhttp://groups.yahoo.com/group/weddingofficiants/links\n(Individual site links are towards the bottom)

No.  This is the day you MUST look your best.  You need to have a trial with each one and see which one you like best.  I would do this about a month before the wedding.  That way, the one you cancel will have time to fill the space.

I would state the RSVP date in bold lettering.  Also, if you have specific details/directions include them.  That is the only way things will get done the way you want them to.

Send out notices through regular USPS mail. Just type up a simple letter on regular paper or fancy paper stating that due to finanical problems you will be post poning the wedding until further notice.

The most polite way is spread by word of mouth through close family and friends - i.e. mothers, maid of honor, bridesmaids, siblings.\n\nThe next is through a website - The Knot is free.  Then put the website on the save-the-date.\n\nThe next is in the bridal shower invitation.\n\nIt is not at all appropriate to put it in the wedding invitation envelope at all.

Emily Post says nothing specifically about it, but I don't think you do write a note inside.  The bride will likely never even see it, since all of her necessary info is on the outside!  Here's a few more pointers...\n\nTips on being the perfect guest \n\n\nRSVP. Immediately. \nRSVP is French for “please respond” (répondez s’il vous plaît). Your most important obligation as a guest is to respond to the invitation immediately, especially if you are unable to attend. At the very least, it allows your host and hostess enough time to give an accurate count to the caterer. There is usually a card to return with your reply. If not, you may write a formal reply or a note indicating your intention. \n\n\nRespect your invitation. \nDo not ask your host or hostess if you can bring a date or your children. The invitation will be addressed to the people invited. If you may bring a guest, your invitation will read “Mr. John Phelps and guest.” If your children are invited, they will either receive their own personal invitations or their names will be listed under yours on the envelope. This is not the time to question your host’s decision, to argue or to beg for an exception. And, please, do not add their names to a reply card or show up with them anyway! \n\n\nSend a gift. \nIf you are invited to the ceremony and/or reception, you should send a gift, whether you are attending or not. Generally, gifts are sent to the bride in advance of the wedding. In some localities, gifts are brought to the reception and placed on a special table. If you hear from family that the couple would prefer a charitable donation—as in the case of an older couple or an encore wedding —please respect their wishes. If you receive an announcement after the wedding has taken place, you may send a gift if you wish, but you have no obligation to do so. It is nice to acknowledge the announcement with a card or a note expressing your best wishes. \n\n\nBe on your BEST behavior.\nBe on time, wear appropriate clothing and be respectful during the marriage ceremony. Pay your respects to the hosts, the wedding party and other guests at the reception. And remember. \n\n“The good guest is almost invisible, enjoying him- or herself, communing with fellow guests, and, most of all, enjoying the generous hospitality of the hosts.” - E. Post

Just write "gifts are optional" on the invitation, or don't mention it at all.  But don't make a big deal out of it either way.

Is this an invitation or do you want information.  You must know.

I used them for my wedding.  I'll be honest, it is time consuming, but so worth it.  It took my sister and I about 5 hours to complete all 250 invitations/response cards/reception cards.  But I also saved about $700.00  Be patient and follow the instructions and you should be fine.  Make sure you test one before you actually use an invitation.  I got mine at Michael's.  Office Max and AC Moore have a great selection too.\n\nwww.officemax.com\nwww.acmoore.com\nwww.michaels.com\n\nGood luck!!!

You're worried the printed notecards are impersonal, but you're willing to send a form letter?\n\nEnclose a personal note if you want to, but it's not expected. Announcements like that are just fishing for gifts anyway, so save your personal notes for the thank you cards.
