To send out these wedding invites?

[TheWeddingPlanner]

My first AIBU, so here goes.

AIBU to send out these Wedding Invitations for my evening reception. Are they 'different' in a good way or just rubbish?

Name changed as if you get one of these in RL you will defiantly know who I am (am we wouldn't want that now would we)

They don't look like wedding invites. But so what? You like them, presumably they go with your theme or personality, so just go for it!

I actually like them. I think something like that is either you or it's not.
They also suggest a damn good party

Looks like an invite to a good night out! You should send them right away.

I like them and I would send them.
Dh would never agree because he likes traditional invitations.
But I would love to get an interesting invite like that, diffrent in a good way :o

Depends who you are inviting - if its a whole family she-bang then Great Aunti Mabel probably isn't going to bother if it isn't a family shindig. If it's just for your mates of a certain age group, then it's fine.

I don't think they look like wedding invites, but I like them

YABU to say "invites." they are invitations!

I received something similar a while back, and I much preferred it - always think evening invitations shouldn't be too much like the day ones as you are not inviting people to a wedding, only a party. It was one of the few evening dos I bothered to go to, actually.

NotYetEverything - They did say marriage in the first place but it looked weird in capital letters so I changed it (MARRIAGE - well I think it looks weird) might change it back.

dementedma - Thanks for correcting me there, my first ever on MN I will remember it ;)

Thanks for the replies everyone, I might send some 'normal' invites to grandparents etc but I think I'm gonna got for it save me a few quid too

Won't your grandparents get the full invitations?

BiscuitNibbler - We're running off to get wed (in Gretna Green :D ) so some grandparents aren't coming, also theres a few other people I want to invite who might not 'get' these invitations so I might just do a few more traditional ones. They are quite a good representation of the night so chances are if people don't like the invites they won't like the party - oh well can't please everyone I guess.

hahaha- 206 views already- I love MN!

I like them but they look abit like flyers for bar's nights and people might think they have to pay entrance

I would skip the 'music and dinner' bit.

Well in that case I think they are perfect.

(Speaking as someone who ran off to Vegas!)

haha Laquitar maybe I should put Free Entry on there too, that was sort of the look I was going for anyway so thanks :) By the 'music and dinner' bit do you mean 'live music and entertainment'? I couldn't think of anything else to put

Thanks BiscuitNibbler - Wish I could have ran off to Vegas but Gretna will have to do

I like.

But how do you know how many 'views' there have been?

swanker & ShagOBite - I just noticed the little counter thingy 526 so far, why are all these people viewing? When I send these out someone is bound to have seen them hides MN scarf and books in for a new hairdoo

Yes, 'live music and entertainment'.
I don't know why i typed 'dinner', i always have my mind in food!

I like 'em.

We did something similar - had tiny registry office do with basically immediate family and close friends, and they didn't even get invites - I just told them when and where. Then everyone else got a PARTY!!!! invite for the evening. It was a party which just happened to be to celebrate a wedding, IYSWIM.

Thats how i see it too Hassled, its a party to celebrate our wedding.

Just hope people turn up now
