Help with wording please…

[Keurig]

Please help me! I am getting married in about 5 months, it will be a destination wedding. I can’t button down a date just yet, just a vague week before Easter. I think it’s important to send out either ‘save the date’ or ‘intention’ notes so that people can start to think about whether or not they can come.

BF wants to make the message along the lines of ‘if you’re planning a holiday, think about joining us toward the beginning or end’ but I’d like better worded and I am crap at this. Does anyone have any ideas??

TIA

I don't think you can send out a save the date if you don't actually have a date. With is being within a fairly short period I would just get on with booking it and then send out invitations fairly early.

Thanks @ApolloandDaphne but we can’t book the actual date until we have a heap of paperwork, which could take another month.

I think you're going to have to just tell people. Destination wedding you're unlikely inviting hundreds so just tell them you're getting married the week before Easter in this place and would they like to join you at the beginning or end of their holiday. I think you need to start telling people but obviously they can't actually book until you've told them the date.

I think that you've left it very late in the day to be inviting people abroad for a wedding!

"We'd love to see you on the day if you wanted to make our wedding part of your spring holiday"

@Dacadactyl how so?

@OnAFrolicOfMyOwn i like that, thank you

People might already have plans and budget for a summer holiday next year and might not be able to afford another break with only a few months to find the money.

So if they can't afford it, they don't go. OP is giving them an invitation, not a Royal command!

@Keurig o would honestly expect more than 5 months notice for a destination wedding.

@grayhairdontcare would you? I would be delighted that anyone would make the effort to come, there is no expectation. Hence asking for the right wording to alleviate the pressure of coming. Perhaps there are reasons why I am ‘only’ giving 5 months notice.
