    Last night, we started the process of printing the envelopes for the invitations and I realized that our guests are coming from all over the place.

    Overall, we are sending invitations to 22 different states including Puerto Rico. We are also sending invites to guests in Canada and Brasil.

    Let see how many can make it.

    How geographical diverse is your guest list?

    Not really diverse, here. Our farthest though is New Zealand. Other than that everyone that is coming is from WI except one from Minnesota, Illinois, Arizona, Oregon, Florida. I think that is it :)

    I'd say my guest list was really diverse: many states in the US: Florida, Chicago, California, Texas, New Jersey, Colorado, Massachusetts and some countries: Canada, Spain and Peru!

    Wow!  You have an extensive list!  I can only claim about five so you need to get yourself a little trophy or something!  That's quite a feat to have so many people spread across the nation.  I'm sure each and everyone of them will be thrilled to get your invite :)

    I'm American, my fiance is Zimbabwean, we met in South Africa and we're now living in China.

    We have guests coming from 6 US states, 3 African countries, 2 European countries, China, Canada and Australia. We're both SO grateful that people from different times and places in our lives will be there to celebrate with us.

    Ours isn't too diverse Southern New Jersey, Southeast Pennsylvania and a few folks from Florida, Virginia, Maryland and Massachusetts.  A few of our "no"s were from more of a distance -- Maine and Georgia.

    Ours was pretty nutty.  We actually had a hard time deciding where to have the wedding!  It was between NY, Florida (most of my family) and Wisconsin (most of his family).  Our invitations were sent to the following locations:

    NY, NJ, PA, DE, FL, WI, NC

    Dominican Republic and Spain

    Hmm...  Good question!  Let's see, domestically we sent them to: Wyoming, Colorado, California, Texas, Georgia, Delaware, Illinois, Nebraska, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, North Carolina and New Mexico.

    Internationally: Spain, France, Poland, Switzerland, Air Force station in Kuwait and would have sent one to Brazil if my dad had ever gotten the address to me.  (Poland is the only international invite who is actually coming though.)

    Me and my husband are both military so they were sent EVERYWHERE... let's see: Indiana, Virginia, Maryland, South Carolina, Arkansas, Texas, California, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Ohio, Nevada, Michigan... OH and a bunch were sent to all our friends that are currently on deployment in the Gulf of Oman, although they couldn't come and we knew that, we didn't want them to feel left out.

    thecolorteale    June 5, 2010 ...yeah we changed it a 3rd & final time.   Chattanooga, TN

    lol my guest list is boring. Everyone's here. My aunt will have to drive about an hour...maybe hour and a half. My grampa is the only person traveling, he'll have about a 7 hour drive from NC. But that's it. Now depending on if an old friend comes...she'll be coming from Kill Devil Hills in NC but that's the farthest. :)
