    My family is Puerto Rican....my bio-dad's side hardly speaks any English at all....the majority of my mother's side is bilingual and only a few on my stepdad's side dont speak English....i'm pretty sure they would get the hint and basic information from an english invite....

    however... do yous think I should do invites/STDs that have both spanish and english on them? (like you know, english with the spanish translation in smaller font underneath)

    or... should i just sort out the guests who only speak spanish and make serparate spanish invites/STDs for them only??

    and one more question, should i just send save the dates to only out of town guests to save on cost??

    p.s. both invitations and save the dates are going to be DIY projects....and i have to send stds asap since we just pushed the wedding up to this year...

    Why not send the same English invitation to everyone and then add a Spanish insert (maybe designed in the traditional/typical Puerto Rican style) for those who don't know a lot of English? This way they get to appreciate your main invitation and understand the important information.

    I think making them in Spanish & English would be a cool way to showcase both of your cultures on the invitation.

    I would love to see a bilingual invitation in the mail! Even if I didn't understand the 2nd language, I think it'd be a nice touch.

    I like either suggestion. I think it would be fun for some of your English speaking friends who have an interest in Spanish to look through a bilingual invite, but designing an entirely Spanish invitation would be fun and you could just insert it into the invites that you think would need it.

    I've gotten a bilingual invitation before and I thought it was super fun and sweet. It was English/Chinese (not than I could even remotely read the Chinese!) and I thought it was a great way to show off their cultures. Not to mention, it will probably be cheaper for you to print one invite design as opposed to two.

    I like bilingual.  Here is a link from a friend's wedding that was featured on Style me Pretty.  Peep the invite:
