Our invitations are going.
As I was addressing the invitations, I was surprised to see just how far away some of them are headed. Since both Mr. Dahlia and I grew up in Ohio and currently live in Michigan, I figured that the vast majority of our invitations were headed to those states.
And they are. But they are also going to a lot of other places: 58 cities in 19 states in 3 countries. Closest place is to our home (we addressed one to ourselves!); farthest away is in Ulm, Germany.
Was anyone else surprised to see the places their invitations were going? What’s the farthest place your wedding invitations are going?
what a great post! Its amazing to see how far your invites are going, Miss D! Our farthest invites are going to Thailand. In the states, we surprisingly only have a few…California, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, and Arizona!
I was mostly surprised that my fiance’s entire extended family all lives in the exact same place… and they never see each other, or talk. 95% of his invitations are all within a 20 minute drive of Philadelphia. My parents invitations, on the other hand, are totally spread out between Boston down to Florida, and a few in the midwest — no more than 2 couples per city. And our friends are all over the country, since everyone moved around after undergrad.
Our closest invitation is going to a friend in my Ph.D. program who lives 2 buildings down (in Washington, DC) and the furthest is headed to Alaska.
We have ones going to our home (New York), too, but then also Florida, Connecticut, DC, Indiana, Massachusetts, Amsterdam, England, India and Italy. It’s definitely interesting.
we have invites going to new zealand, australia, south africa, korea, england, france, canada, china, singapore and NEPAL(!)
England. And I loved getting the reply card back, it was so cool. Were you able to pre-postage your invite to Germany?
I have a similar spread. With a total of 90 people on our guest list we are really have a several different locations —-RI, MA, NY, NJ, DC, MD, VA, KY, OH, SC, GA, FL, TN, CO, NV, CA and Sweden.
To bad no one is close enough to help me stuff and address them. 
I was actually surprised when I counted it just now. lol
33 cities in 15 states in 3 countries
Sadly, I did not pre-postage the response card for Germany (or Canada). I figured that my friend and Mr. D’s aunt can cover the cost of the response envelope.
Closest was going around the corner to our friends that live a mile away…
But our invites were mailed from our parents house, not ours. So it did have the make the trek from Upstate NY back to GA
Furthest? Austraila. Or Israel - not sure which is farther. We had a few to Canada too!
We’re sending one to Australia, a few to Canada, and the rest all over the country from New Jersey to Nevada, and Virginia to Illinois to California. The majority are going to Tennessee and Texas though.
Our furthest invites are going to Pakistan and Singapore, then Germany, then all across the U.S. Closest ones are in NY and NJ.
We live abroad so now we have lots of international friends. One of my best friends from the UK moved to Rwanda, so his is going there! Otherwise, lots in the UK, France, and ALL over the states (literally coast to coast).
Hi folks ~ Anyone know the going rate for postage on a normal invite? Also, anybody know when postage goes up? Thanks! http://www.thegroomstruth.com
we have one going to germany too!!
Our furthest are going to Taiwan and Hong Kong… none to Europe, unfortunately! Closest went across the hallway - to my coworkers.
Japan! Never thought about the response card postage thing for that - thanks Miss. LB (would’ve just slapped on a 42 cent-er without thinking!)

We have two going to Europe (one to London, England and one to Salzburg, Austria — where my BFF/MOH lives!) and the furthest will go to my old college roommate in Australia. She won’t be able to make it to the wedding, but the two European couples will!
We have friends that live in Moscow so that’ll be our furthest invite!

About Me: I enjoy cooking, dancing and swimming. I am a geek and apply game theory to my everyday life. Winter is my favorite time of year, especially when spent curled up with good coffee and a book by Madeleine L'Engle.
The closest ours are going is Chicago. The farthest is India. We also have invites going to California, Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, New York, Florida, New Jersey, Georgia, Tennessee, Arizona, Texas, Michigan, Washington DC, as well as England, Pakistan, and India.
It’s kind of crazy to think about!
