We never told anyone til the morning of our wedding.
We posted invites to close family who recieved them the morning of the wedding,so they only had a few hours notice as we got married at 12pm.
On the invite we stated no suits or fancy clothes, come casual please!
After the wedding we went to a local pub for drinks then back to my house where we had a garden party.
Everyone agreed it was the best wedding they'd been to, no fuss just fun
