As I mentioned previously, Mr. Bean and I are etiquette rebels when it comes to our guest list and invitation sending. First off, we did not send save the dates.
We didn’t do any STDs to save money and neither of us had heard of/received them before. We also thought logistically only sending out one round of “invitations” made sense. Does anyone know where this “tradition” originated?
Our reception venue, which is the limiting factor in terms of size, holds 200 people with tables on the dance floor and 180 without tables on the dance floor. We wanted the dance floor to be clear, so that it isn’t a huge production halfway through the evening. The website of the hotel gives this lovely floor plan:
