Who gets one?

Do you send the wedding party invitations? Would it be rude to send them different invites that say something like, "Thanks for being there every step of the way! See you on...."??
TIA

Yes you should send them one. I was a bridesmaid once where I didn't receive an invitation because the bride ran out, and I was kind of really sad because I wanted to keep one I mean I understood and didnt' complain or anything, but I just wish I could have gotten one.

I think it would be kind of weird to give them a completely different invitation, but you could always send them a normal one with a little note inside if you want. I guess we gave them all thank you notes along with their thank you gifts at the rehearsal dinner, so I didn't think I had to thank them again with the invites.

I assume they would get regular invitations, especially if you are inviting them with a significant other or +1`.

yes, they are still guests.

Send regular invites. If you really want to say something extra you could always put a little note in with the invite.

I vote for send them the same one and add a nice handwritten not saying "Thanks for being there, blah blah blah...".  That's my plan at least.  We want to offer to pay for our WP's travel expenses if we can, and that seems like it would be the best way to get that across to them

Send them invites. I sent my WP invites and didn't receive a single RSVP from them - they just assumed I knew that they'd be there (and I did), but I still wanted them to have an invite.

Aaw, I would send them invites! Those are so cute to save, especially with any seperate cards thanking them for being in the WP. And a picture from the wedding with them in it.

My SIL (future at the time) didn't send me a wedding invite.  I had to ask her the week of the wedding what time it was and all of that.  I was annoyed, my feelings were sort of hurt, and I felt like she was doing a half a$$ planning job.  I didn't get an invite to the wedding shower, or even most recently the baby shower either.  I guess apparently she thinks I have ESP.  For the baby shower she even talked about how she was trying to have proper etiquette while sending out the thank you notes.  Now come to think of it I haven't gotten a thank you note for the wedding or the baby shower either.
