Out of town pre-wedding gathering

We're having a beach wedding in which all of our guests will be from out of town and we want to meet up with everyone for some drinks the night before the wedding.  The RD will be earlier that night and only for the bridal party and immediate families.   How should we tell everyone about this casual gathering? Our website and/or in welcome letter?  Also, is it expected that the bride/groom (or a host) pay?Thanks!

    If you formally invite them, you need to pay.  You could put a note in the welcome letter "please join us for welcome drinks and dessert at X beginning at 9:00" or something.  If you don't want to host (pay), spread it by word of mouth, and say something like "the wedding party and OOT guests are meeting up for drinks at X after the RD, you are welcome to join."

    If you send invites or write " you are invited" in tehwelcome letter you are the hosts  and must pay. If you write bride and groom will be at xyz bar and would love if you come too you are not the host and people can pay for themselves but it would still be nice if you hosted.
