Stores in Vegas

Vegas wedding; want a note in invites (150) that even tho all cant attend we wanted them to know. What to say?

I am sending invitations, as if I were having the wedding in my hometown. I just don't want anyone to feel obligated or left out, because the wedding is not in my hometown.

1. How about organising a small get together when you get home for those who can't attend the wedding? It doesn't have to be a grand occasion, even just drinks at a favourite local bar ( have a small bar tab and serve some nibbles) or even a BBQ in your backyard. That way guests who can't make it to Vegas still have the opportunity to wish you well and hang out with you. If you and your husband feel like it you could even wear the outfits you got married in again.
2. C and B are happy to announce their upcoming nuptials. The ceremony will take place in Nevada on 12-12-09. If you are able to join us we would love to see you there. If this is not possible knowing we have your love and blessings will be the next best thing.
3. Will your Vegas wedding have the option of broadcasting via webcam? If so, you could go that route and include something like, "For those near and dear to us who are unable to attend the ceremony but would still like to watch us take our vows, the ceremony will be webcast at www..." Otherwise I don't think anything is necessary. Your guests will know that you don't expect everyone to be able to spend the money to go to Vegas, and the invitation itself lets them know you're getting married and wanted to include them.
4. You don't need to speak to that in your wedding invitation. Just print all of the information on the invite as if you were having it at home. People will respond accordingly with their RSVP. If you want people to attend and make it convenient for your guest, be sure to get a block of rooms at the hotel's best group rate for your wedding, and go the extra mile if people have to fly to provide airline information and tips on ticketing. It's best to buy airline tickets at midnight and 2 pm on Tuesdays (or, I think ... also Thursdays) because the airlines release seats/new prices at that time. Also include directions to your venue(s). It's not necessary to print anything extra--keep the invite clean and simple.
5. it should read like a regular invite. Once the rsvp come in, you want to call them and tell them you undestand etc.
6. Do you actually want all the people you are inviting to come to the wedding? If so, then just do it like you normally would. People will come if they can. If you "just want to let them know," then send a wedding announcement.
