I am ordering my invites next week. I was wondering when you are sending out the invitations, and what date you are making for the RSVP.
Thanks everyone!
I was thinking of having them mailed by April 4th and asking for responses by June 4th. One reason, it is a Thursday and the other being it is a holiday people will go away for. With 3 months before, that should be reasonable for family to know. Plus the A list B list thing, invite all FAMILY first, then I can add work friends after the fact!! Just a benefit for me because of the large group I work with!!
My hotel will only hold the blocked rooms until June 3rd, so I figured if guest get the invites a month before that date it should be enough time for them to call and book a room. So I'll probably send them towards the end of April and want an RSVP by the middle of June.
I'm getting married July 4, 2003. Can I ask if any of you had problems with vendors not working on July 4th since it's a holiday?
I just started looking at invites and wording for my July 4th, 2002 wedding. I was going to have then ordered by the end of Jan begining of Feb and then I was going to mail them out at the beginning of April. Where did you gals get your invites from? If you need any assistance with anything else, let me know.
All the best!

Dear July 4th Brides -
I'm getting married on July 4th of this year and booking vendors was not a problem for me. Most of them are willing to work with you not to mention the fact that they know that they will have to work on most holidays. I do however suggest that you book the vendors as far in advance as possible, like at the 1 year to 9 months mark. If you have any questions about booking vendors or which vendors I used, feel free to contact me at [email protected]
Best of luck to all!

I actually had an image in my head of what I wanted and found it by accident in Kinkos of all places! It is a thinner card stock then most invites I guess, but I am not looking for ultra formal anyway. It is 5 1/2 X 8 1/2 (regular invite size) with all fireworks, the border is almost black with the fireworks in VERY vivid colors, the center portion is very light with the fireworks. Kinkos will charge a set up fee and it will cost me about $120 for 100 invites. I will do my own response cards (they match but are 1/2 the size and they are sold in the 4up style, so I will print and cut them)and envelopes. Found silver lined ones in Staples, and I think I will forgo an inner envelope.
