Las Vegas Wedding

[needaring]

Hi Everyone,

I was hoping to get some advice from all of you.

My fiancé and I finally found a convenient time to have a wedding. We are looking around June – July and planning on going to Vegas (We are coming from Florida). We saw many packages at some of the hotels that we feel will be lovely and fit with our intimate wedding that we had in mind.

Since we are coming all the way from FL, we do not anticipate a lot of co-workers and friends to attend. Should we still invite everyone that like we would if we were having an wedding in Florida? What about gift registration? Do we still send this to everyone also? Also, when should we send out wedding invitations? How much time do we need to give everyone?

Like I said, I don’t anticipate a large crowd since we are flying out there. I would expect less than 20 and most of that number will be family. Should we have another reception when we get back home? Since there will not be a whole lot of people in Vegas, I envision a big dinner while in Vegas, or something of the sort. What do you think? Do we need to do something for people back home when we get back?

Anyway, we both just finished school and have started our careers so taking too much time off will not work right now. We decided on Vegas since it is easier and will work for close family and friends, and also financially.

Thanks everyone and I look forward to hearing from you.

Posted this on your thread in Rocky Talk. Just in case you don't see it there.

Just a tidbit of info to help you in your planning.

May 30-June 3, 2004, JCK International Jewelry Show, Sands Expo, Las Vegas, NV.

I saw June/July and thought of the big Jewelry Show that takes place in Vegas every year.

Congratulations!

Just wanted to say my husband and I renewed our wedding vows in Vegas in November at the Aladdin Hotel Wedding Chapel and would HIGHLY recommend it to anyone. The chapel is veryyyy beautiful and intimate enough for the size group you are expecting. I think in total we had 23ish and it was perfect. We also made arrangements with PF Changs which is in the Aladdin for dinner in a private room they have for up to 27 people. It was PERFECT. Everyone that came out for the event said it was the best wedding they had ever been to. The chapel offers a deal on the pricing on the 1300 sq ft Panorama Suites which are AWESOME. We rented one and after dinner had everyone come up to the room for cocktails and dessert. FABULOUS view of Bellagios Water Show and Paris's Tower. FUN FUN FUN. Attached is a link to a few pictures of us in the chapel to help you get an idea. Oh and also, the Aladdin is a great hotel if you are looking for a place to go that isn't HUGE like most of the resorts are now. The Dining areas and salon and chapel are on one level away from the casino which makes it very nice and less "Vegasy" if you know what I mean.

Also, I know alot of people who get married in Vegas and just have a small reception back home. Nothing fancy is needed. A few others that I know just sent out announcements stating they were married and the details...it really is up to you guys what you would like. Just remeber to keep it stressless! Hugs.

PS- We went with the cheesey Elvis theme just because it was our renewal, but their regular weddings there are just as fun and beautiful as well.
