Having a sense of humor about your wedding plans is a good thing. It reduces your stress level and helps put small problems and conflicts into perspective. That is why when thinking about who to send your wedding invitations to, you should feel free to be inventive. Go out on a limb and invite some people you would love to have attend, even if you are pretty sure they will not respond. At the very least, it will make for a funny story and memory for years to come.

I recently met a bride that invited the Obamas to their wedding. I had never heard of someone inviting the president to their ceremony, but I had to applaud the cleverness of that idea.

While I am nearly certain the presidential family had to decline, I am sure in their response letter they sent happy wishes for the couple to be.

If you want to mail an invitation to The White House and see what the Obamas say, make sure to do it well in advance (about 6 weeks):

The Honorable Barack Obama and Michelle Obama

The White House

Greetings Office Room 39

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue

Washington, DC 20500

If you send an invite to the White House you’ll get a personal response signed by the president and first lady.  On the off chance that they accept, how amazing would that be.

Good luck!
