Hey Fab Brides,
Every once in a while a few of you ask questions and I thought I would share the answers with everyone.
1. If I have a evening wedding can I serve heavy passed hors d'oeuvres?
I do not recommend this. When you are inviting guests to an evening wedding, they are expecting dinner. If you cannot afford a seated dinner, consider having stations or a buffet.
2. Do I have send everyone an invitation?
YES! Do not skip family members because you think they will attend anyway. This is really rude and cheap.
3. How far in advance should I send out invitations?
If your wedding is near a holiday or not local, send out invitations 4-6 months in advance, especially if many of your guests need to make travel arrangements. Otherwise, send out invitations 2 months in advance.
4. Do I have to serve alcohol at the wedding?
You don't have to serve alcohol if it is against your beliefs. If you are trying to save money I suggest serving just wine. You can also consider creating one or two signature drinks that will be served all night.
5. When is the best time to buy my gown?
I suggest looking for your gown at least 6 months in advance. If you are buying a designer gown, these gowns often take 4 months to be delivered. You also want to allow time for alterations.
Keep sending in your questions!
xoxo,
Ayana
