Informal Wedding

I need some ideas for an informal wedding. We found a caterer who does barbques and are having it at my grandparents farm. They have a lot of property and a large barn which were doing over for people to eat in. We want to have a large bonfire after with marshmellows and hot chocolate and everything. How do I word the invitations???? I also need an idea for what I should wear, favours and just about everything else?!?!?

When is the wedding??? Summer, spring, winter, or fall? That will depend on what you wear.

Hi, Sara --

Sounds like a wonderful plan!

My suggestion? Keep the invitations in theme w/ the wedding: wonderfully your own, & w/o the "formal" tone of traditional ones. Here`s what the ones we created read:

FRONT:
Bonnie & Walter
Happily invite you to
Celebrate their wedding

INSIDE:
5 to 9 pm on Sunday 23 August 1998 at the
Alkhimah ("Tent")
Moroccan Mid-East Restaurant
[space]
Join in our ceremony,
Followed by revels at a traditional Mid-Eastern feast
Hosted by Adele _____ [name]
[space]
RSVP to Adele @ _____ [555.555.5555] by 8 August
Casual or whimsical attire

Ouch! some of the capital letters were added by this site, not by me!!!

With the right font, a varying of its size throughout, a careful use of spacing, the addition of a graphic ... This can look awesome!


Best of luck,
Bonnie
