Do we need to send invitations to our parents and those in our bridal party?  Obviously we know that they'll be there...!

    I did not send one to my parents because they were the hosts.  but I did send them to my WP and my MIL.

     edit: my mom actually sent out the invites from her home  It would have been a little silly.






    What differentiates an average host and a great host is anticipating unexpressed needs and wants of their guests.  Just because the want/need is not expressed, doesn't mean it wouldn't be appreciated.

    I would. Especially if you need them to RSVP with their menu choice before the wedding.

    Your parents will probably want one as a keepsake...  Well, your moms will at least ;)

    We sent invites to everyone, including our parents.  Like ExPat said, some parents like them for keepsakes.  I've also received invitations when I've been a BM.

    We did. Our parents' invites were the first ones sent simply to test how long it would take to get through the mail and what they'd look like upon arrival.

    Dresses may be easier to take in than let out, but guest lists are not. -- kate51485

    We sent invites to each of our parents and the bridal party. Even though they are in the wedding sometimes people need a reminder of when and where things are to plan their time in advance.

    We did. I was a bridesmaid once in a wedding where the bride ran out of invitations, so I didn't get one in the mail or otherwise. I understood of course and wouldn't expect her to order more just for me, but honestly I was kind of really sad. I wanted to keep one :)
    Leo says hi. He's...special.
