more invitations!
(( Dated just after Henry sends out his half of the invitations. ))
Invitations go out, identical save for the addressee's name, all of them hand-written (not by a Dictaquill; heaven forbid!) on a heavy smooth parchment, the wizarding equivalent of good stationery.
The following are the recipients:
Yoda
John Preston
Simkin
Bella Swan
Lestat de Lioncourt
Willow Rosenberg
Shaun Riley
Dean Winchester and Stephanie Brown (jointly, because Camilla still thinks they are a couple, but the invitation still says they can bring guests ...)
Robin Goodfellow
Geoffrey Tennant
Dear [recipient's name here],
I'm very happy to say that Henry and I have decided finally to marry. The ceremony will be Tuesday the sixth of November, at four pm, in the Room of Requirement. We'll have a little reception and dinner afterward in the same place.
Because it's such short notice, attire will only be semi-formal, and you really shouldn't go to any trouble on our behalf. Your presence will be gift enough. Please feel free to bring a guest or two if you'd like.
Best,
Camilla
Separate notes are sent out to a smaller group of people, to whom various additional allowances or apologies or explanations are owed:
Silas,
Have you spoken with Catelyn Stark lately?
Love,
Camilla
Dear Susan,
I guess you probably saw this coming -- we're getting married, Henry and I. On Tuesday, I'm afraid. It's very sudden. Would you be maid of honor? It wouldn't really entail anything unusually rigorous. You'd just have to wear that dress we already bought you for what's his name's wedding, and look pretty. Please say you'll do it. Frankly I'm at my wit's end with all this.
Love,
Camilla
Dear Francis,
Henry's already sent you the invitation, I imagine. Are you mad at me? Please don't be mad. You know it's impossible to tell Henry no, and he did so want it to be Tuesday. We're just going to have it be semi-formal so people can wear what they've already got.
Love,
Camilla
Dear Richard,
Henry's already sent you the invitation to our wedding, I think. You don't have to attend if you don't want to. I promise I won't be upset if you don't. But it would be ever so nice to have everyone together. Henry's always thought very highly of you, you know, and so have I. And Charles would be glad of the company, too, I'm sure.
Love,
Camilla
I saw Henry was going to send you the invitation. Tuesday isn't too soon for you, I hope? I'm so happy you'll be there. It's only going to be semi-formal because it's such short notice for everyone, but if you need anything, let me know. Or if you just want to talk. Or anything.
Love,
your sister.
