  I included it in the invitations.  Mainly because my wedding is July 3rd and everyone is traveling and I wanted to make sure they knew they were welcome to hang out with us after the wedding to celebrate the the Fourth.  I just put the events that everyone is invited to and we'd be hosting; rehearsal/welcome dinner, wedding, and the Fourth of July activities.

  I want to send out a schedule of events to our guest as they RSVP. Is it proper? Those who attended we want to join us in our rehearsal dinner and activities (we're doing a Team Bride vs Team Groom Field Day) and a morning after brunch. Should we send it out to those who RSVP, as an inclosure card with the wedding invitation, or just inform them in their welcome bags? We would just like to give them enough advanced notice to plan their travels accordingly. Thank you in advance for your help!!!

  Are all guests invited to everything or just some to these? I would just tread lightly as you don't want to make anyone feel second class. if it's everyone, just put it in the invitation. 

  
  

  As for your bride vs. groom field day- I'm 24 and in great shape and I would absolutely not want to do anything like that, so please don't pressure people to do this.

  I would include in the invitation because it probably won't add to your postage costs. Then you don't have to worry about people getting a mailed after the RSVP notice in time for the wedding. Getting it with the invite will allow guests to plan for events they might want to participate in and more importantly for any OOT guests, to pack the approriate items for those events & plan time for them. For local guests with kids, it gives them plenty of time to arrange for sitters if they want.

  For any hosted event I would send a separate invitation, like for the rehearsal dinner. Or include a spot on your response card for them to indicate if they'll be attending that as well.
  
  As for the field day, I would just put something on your website or word of mouth. The first thing that comes to mind is all the wedding movies where they do the big family competitions and well, they never seem that popular. Though I suppose it's a know your crowd thing. But yeah, I wouldn't do a formal invite for that as it's a more casual thing.

  After 6 years and 2 boys, finally tying the knot on October 27th, 2013!

  I would include a schedule with the invitations. I would probably change my travel plans if I knew there were other events happening for the weekend and I would like to know that information before I sent back my RSVP.

  Thank you everyone for responding. We are inviting everyone to all the things we are putting on since everyone except he and I need to travel to be there. As for our idea about the completion both our families hold them every year at reunions so we thought it would be a fun way for both sides to get to know one another. Thank you again for your fast responses.
  
  Best wishes to you all!

  Stuck in box:

  You know your circle best if this is the type of thing they would like (mine would NOT be interested and would seriously roll their eyes. They also wouldn't really care about 'getting to know' the other side of the family since when will they actually ever meet again?), but make sure no one nags people to play. Nothing pisses me off more than people egging other people on to do something they don't want to.
