Invitation Etiquette Question
So... my graduation is this summer and we are having a party the night before instead of the day of because my graduation is on a Sunday.
In the last few months DH and I have mentioned the party to quite a few friends/family so we are guessing around 40 people are coming to the the party. The problem is that I can't actually take that many people to the graduation ceremony the next day... I can only take about 15 to that.
And, I wasn't thinking when I made my save the dates for the party and they have both the party time and the graduation time on them.
So, do I just use whiteout and get rid of the line about the ceremony on the save the date? Or, do I include a note explaining what's going on to the guests? I don't really want to spend the money to re-order them especially when I still have to send the real invitation with RSVP cards an whatnot out in a few months..
Thoughts? Would you be upset if you got invited to the party and told yo couldn't come to the ceremony?
Re: Invitation Etiquette Question
Good Luck with the invitations I'm really bad at stuff like this too!
I wouldn't be upset just being invited to the party. But I would be kind of upset if I got an invite with details whited out. Unfortauntely I think a new invite is the only good way to go about it. If you send out party invites and ceremony invites there won't be any confusion. I doubt anyone would go by the STD. Good Luck and Congratulations!!!
i sadly agree with gerrie on this one.. i understand the cost, but i would be like, ummm what's under this whiteout? at the same time, if i got an invite to the party, i would be so happy to come! sorry... but congratulations! you've worked sooo hard!
It is a very, very sad day when people start agreeing with me. LMAO.
hahahahahaha you know what i meant! it makes me sad to have to redo something that is probably already gorgeous! and spend the money. :P
