I am such an idiot!

So, I have my invites all done. I have my RSVP cards all done. I just had a thought pop in my head...I remembered to put that its a backyard picnic so people would (hopefully) dress accordingly. I remembered to put adults only please. I remembered address, dates, times, blah blah blah...

No where did I remember to put that it's dinner and cocktails! UGH!! Do you think it's plain enough to have 'backyard picnic' on there?

Thoughts? I do not want to redo this stuff!!! They already needed to be in the mail yesterday.

I do still have to print up directions tomorrow. Should I somehow put a note on there to expect dinner? Or should I just rely on word of mouth? It is a very small wedding. Only 40 or so people.

Help ladies!

What time of day is your wedding? I think that if it's at a normal eating time plus the fact that you mentioned it was a picnic, people will expect to eat. I don't think it's necessary to specifically mention that you'll be serving dinner. I always assume there will be food at any wedding I go to (whether it's a full meal or not), and so I don't eat beforehand.

Maybe you could include a "packet" including directions, type of reception, appropriate dress, a website (where you could also put the type of dinner) but generally i think its okay to assume a backyard picinc is dinner :)

If I got invited to any picnic and they didn't have food, I'd be totally floored. That's the exact definition of the word "picnic".

I wouldn't fret too much about it, honestly. If people know what a picnic is, they'll expect to eat and be outside. :happy:

If you have put on there that it is a picinic.... people really should be smart enough to know that that means food! I wouldn't expect to go to a backyard picinic and not eat.... plus, just about any wedding I go to, unless specified otherwise, I expect there to be food.... I think you are just fine... you don't need to spell it out to them.... especially if is a small wedding, word of mouth is fine for thsoe who don't understand. It's fine... take a deeeeep breath, and get em' in the mail! :)

I think by saying it is a picnic it implies that you will be feeding your guests! Most weddings they have food!

I don't think most people write that dinner will be served, they say...reception following! I really only think you need to put if you are NOT feeding them!

Thanks! Looking back, I think I had a *slight* panic moment! :sweatdrop: Thanks for the reassurance! I'm sure it will be good. Plus, it IS so small that it should be fine.
