Nicole *** and Carlos Rolondo ***
Will be Wed

As we approach our wedding date, we wanted to tell you how much we hope you will come to our wedding to witness our becoming one. Please know how grateful we are to have your love and support throughout the years. We truly hope you will join us in our celebration.

The wedding will take place on beautiful Long Island, New York. Since it will be Fourth of July weekend, we encourage you to make this trip a great vacation, especially if you haven’t been to New York lately. If you are planning to extend your visit to see a Broadway show or to tour Manhattan, please keep in mind all wedding activities will take place on Long Island, which is approximately 40 miles from New York City. In addition, there are many activities on Long Island which you may enjoy, such as the very popular wineries.

If you have any questions please feel free to email Carlos or Nicole.
Carlos- ****
Nicole- ****

You can also find many helpful details regarding our wedding at our website.
It can be found at theknot.com

Don’t forget to put the magnet on your fridge, to remind you when the big day is!

Love,

Nicole & Carlos

I like the note I think it is very personal and it shows that you care about who you're inviting and really want to get the most out of their weekend. I'd say send the note along!

I think the note is a REALLY cute, personal touch. I would definetely include it and especially since it's 4th of July weekend and I believe it's far from where you currently live (CT right?). I would include with it some hotel information and a brochure of Long Island since you are suggesting making a vacation out of it (people will wanna know attractions and such so they can decide if they will make a vacation out of it or not)...

I like it and say go for it!!!

We have a lot of people from out of state... some of my family, many/most friends and all of fh's family...so i think it is a good idea... i got some help from a LIW bride who has reworked a sentence or two in the letter...and fh doesnt want middle name in there anymore...and i am going to add the hotel information too... but cut out some of the rhetoric in there somewhere,so that it all fits on one page and i can still have the wineries map... i bought nice wedding paper and it should look nice...

and i was able to speak to save the date lady/company and she is adding for the wedding of... so that makes me happy too! i just need to okay it when she sends me a sample, i hope it doesnt look too crowded

Hey...great minds must think alike I am also going to send out of little personal note to my OOTers. I know if I was invited to an OOT wedding, I would greatly appreciate the extra personal effort in making me feel welcome and giving me options of what to do and where to stay. I know that New York scares a lot of my OOT family members and friends and I want to do everything I can to make them feel comfortable with coming. It is amazing how scary New York can be for people. I think that any personal touch will be appreciated.
