Welcome to Blog of the Sierra Nevada's Greatest Wedding Getaway

Here is a meeting place for those in love and planning their own "greatest celebration"; a haven for our magisterial couples of years past whose memories should always be a couple keystrokes away; and a warm welcome for those recently inaugurated into the living dream of their Forest House wedding.

Invitations Part II: Wording





                        Hello my Bride’s & Grooms! So last Post we talked about Invitations. We covered mostly the look of the invitation and the content, However I want to give you some samples from our fabulous legacy Brides & Grooms of the direct invite wording. I have been dealing with this lately in my own planning adventures and I was able to pull from the famous Forest House “Idea Box” and thought you might like to as well. 


Form & Function


When wording your invitations you want to capture your personalities as well as the overall theme of the wedding and then wrap it all in blanket of elegance. Our legacy couples definitely pulled this off. Let’s learn from them shall we?

There are many other options too. You may have a poem you would like to insert or you may want to include the parent’s names. Just make sure that no matter what you do it is truly yours. Don’t forget directions! Here is a very simple way to guide them;

Directions From Sacramento
Take I80 East to exit #121 Foresthill/Auburn Ravine Road in Auburn
Turn Right onto Foresthill Road and go 17.4 Scenic miles to historic Foresthill
Destination will be on the right;

Well, this information has certainly proved helpful for me; I hope it has done the same for you. Thank you to the Brides & Grooms that left us these wonderful examples! If you have any other questions regarding Invitations or any other planning matters please feel free to ask!

With love and care,
