Like it is the case in everything we do, etiquette is a crucial thing to bear in mind when planning your beach wedding. You will agree that it sounds complicated at first since it is a little more complicated for beach weddings. One area that calls for proper etiquette is the beach wedding invitation, right from the time you choose who to have at your wedding to how you send the invites.
Our beach wedding experts took the time to answer some of the most frequently asked questions on invites. These will help you understand the best way to handle it.
Who should I invite to my beach wedding?
Destination weddings, unlike the traditional weddings, are a more intimate affair. For this reason, most couples choose to keep the crowd small with only close family and a few friends. On the other hand, it is not unusual for couples to invite many friends and extended families. This would depend on the type of wedding they want to have. A key thing to note is that it would be rude to leave out anyone who attended the bridal shower.
How soon should you send out the beach wedding invitations?
Since most beach weddings, if not all, are more of a getaway thing; it is proper etiquette to send out your invitations way in advance. How in advance? No less than ten weeks before the wedding day. This is designed to give your guests adequate time to prepare.
What should you include in your beach wedding invitation?
Okay, so, you have made al the plans and want to send out the invitations, what should you include apart from the venue? The first thing to know is that beach weddings are about fun and fewer formalities than it is the case for the traditional weddings in the church. Don’t forget to be creative and introduce the theme of your wedding in the invitations.
Another important thing you may want to consider including in the invitation is the dressing code. Among the things to note about dressing is the need to wear light beach wedding attire – assuming the weather is expected to be warm and pleasant.

Is it proper etiquette to send the “Save the Date” with the invitation?
A “Save the Date” notification is usually sent earlier than the invitation and is aimed at giving the guests a heads up to make any necessary plans. The best time to send a “Save the Date” is immediately you set a date for the beach wedding after choosing the venue and coming up with the final list of invites.
