A Save the Date is Not the Invitation
Is anyone else running into this problem? We've had multiple people say things like, "so and so is upset that their girlfriend is not on the invitation" or "so and so is not sure about making reservations because so and else is not invited" or "will I be able to bring my girlfriend? We can share a meal if it's a problem!"
We handle it graciously every time, but it's just amusing... it's the not invitation dude! We haven't even sent them yet!
Maybe because S-t-dates are such a new convention, people don't quite get them yet. Mostly it's men who seem to be confused, so I guess maybe that should answer my question :)
Oh wait, what was our BrideLaw? It's SDs?

That is funny. Don't the SD's usually have the words, "invitations to follow"? I would think so, if not, maybe post something on your wedding website saying that the SD's were sent but to please stand by for formal invites? I hope this doesn't happen to me, how silly are some people?
One of my brothers called my mom, to find out how was supposed to reply. I sent out a business card sized magnet and he thought it was the invitation! Guys can be so clueless
Amy that's so funny... one of the guys kept saying, "there's no where on the card to put meals..." Finally my fiance had to say, "listen- it's NOT the invitation! We're sending them in a few weeks! Then you'll have a place to put your names and your meal!"
We lucked out. No stupid questions or comments. All I can think is when you send the real invitation with the "and guest" language they think you did that because of their comments.
