my future MIL wants to host a in-formal post-wedding brunsh at their house. Should I make a not of it in the invitations, or should we just invite people by word-of-mouth?

    I would invite folks via word of mouth, or maybe an e-mail. If it's meant to be informal, keeping the invitation informal is helpful.

    We included postcard invites from VP in our out of town bags for each guest, but we were also a DW, so I am not sure if that would work in your situation.  You could do a word of mouth type thing and then give a reminder at the rehearsal dinner if you'd like.

    WOM. My cousin did this, and had the MC announce it at the reception, as well as she put it on her wedding website.

    Is the brunch for everyone invited to the wedding?  Or does she have a different guest list in mind?  Since it is informal I would invite people by word of mouth or postcard but I would check with your FMIL on number of people and who she would specifically like to invite.

    If the brunch is for everyone invited to the wedding, then I think it's fine to include something about it in the invitation.  If not everyone is invited, I would either do separate invitations or just invite people verbally.

    I think word of mouth and a note in the OOT bag (if you do one) is good, plus list it on your website if you have one. Ours needed a head count so we sent actualy invitations. It is nice to let people, espcially out of towners, know in advance so they can plan their travel accordingly.

    I would just do word of mouth. Since it's informal, an invitation isn't necessary.

    We did next day trolley ride around chicago instead of a brunch since it was a city wedding and many guests traveled. We were on a budget so we made ur invitations on the computer and they came out great...check them out on this website http://www.celebrationideasonline.com/post-wedding-brunch.html
