Sending Invitations.

I'm working on my guest list, and trying to get it as prepared as I can with the addresses and everthing to make it easier for when it comes time to address them... I know I don't need to send my parents an invitation because they are the ones paying for it.  I don't know if I need to send his parents one, or if I have to send the members of the bridal party one... I have been told I don't, but I have no idea...

Re: Sending Invitations.

  • Yes. Send them an invitation. You may know they are going....they may know they are going, but it's still a nice gesture to send them an invitation. Not to mention, I bet they would still like to receive one regardless.

  • I would send both sets of parents and the bridal party invites. Some people enjoying getting them and some even like to save them (his parents, possibly?)
  • You should send invitations to your parents, his parents, and your wedding party.  They're all guests, and I'm sure they'd love to recieve them officially just like everyone else.

  • Send them all invites. They are guests too. Plus, this way you can get everyone's entree choices, names/correct spellings of BP guests, etc. And I know my parents enjoyed getting an invitation so they could save it as a keepsake.

  • We gave our parents invitations.  We thought they might like the keepsake.
  • ohemgee - my mom was THRILLED to have an invite.  She obviously didn't need to open it, but she kept it in the inner envelope, all wrapped up.

    We didn't put stamps on our parents rsvp cards, though.

  • Oh and YES send invites to the BP.  Although I'm sure you've told them when and where, they probably forgot (I always did) and it's nice to have a hard copy of stuff.
