Morning After Brunch Invitations?

  I guess it depends on who you are inviting. We just basically did ours at the hotel we were staying and invited anyone who was staying at the hotel to come eat breakfast (we paid). Because we did it that way, we just did Word of mouth and put in information in the hotel gift bag. IT worked great. We didn't want a ton of people, so that worked best for us

  I think it's fine to have separate invitations to the brunch. It's a separate event hosted by separate people.

  I'm guessing your reasoning for separate invites is that you aren't inviting everyone to brunch. It might be a little overwhelming for some people but I don't think it's "wrong" to do. Just keep in mind that you might have people talking about it at the reception and you could still end up with those hurt feelings.

  Oh no, we're inviting everyone to the brunch that was invited to the wedding.

  Stuck in the mother freaking box again:

  
  

  If that's the case I'd just stick an insert in the wedding invites and save yourself some hassle and postage.

  I'm guessing you want to do it as a separate invite so that the set of parents paying for/hosting it can be recognized? I don't necessarily think there's anything wrong with it, but I think given that it's the last in the sequence and coming at the same time, you're pretty likely to have people just not look at it. I'd put the insert in the wedding invitation and still note who's hosting it (if that is in fact the issue). For some people on your list, that's literally the fourth invite in the same month.

   I'm not going to go into too many details, just trust me when I say that turning the morning after brunch into a separate event, with separate invitations and everything could help us to avoid some hurt feelings.  (Rehearsal dinner would be hosted by one set of parents, reception by us, and this brunch by the other set of parents)

  
  

  But is it too much to have a separate invitation for the morning after brunch?  

  
  

  So far the guests will be receiving:

  Save the Dates (already sent)

  Wedding Invitations

  Bridal Shower (Some of the guests)

  Rehearsal Dinner (Wedding party and immediate family only)

  ?Morning After Brunch?

  
  

  Apart from the Save the Dates, most of these invitations would be received around the same time, within the same month for certain.  

  
  

  What do you think?

  I get it. Someone different is hosting each event. Separate invites, separate RSVPs.

  If you haven't printed your wedding invites yet, and since everyone is invited to the brunch, you could consider putting it on the RSVP. We did this for our welcome reception, and it worked out perfect. We had an info/activity card insert that gave the details of the welcome reception along with other tidbits. Then on the RSVP card, the most room was taken up by the wedding ceremony/reception yes/no RSVP, but we included a line at the bottom that said, "Will you join us on Friday, x/x for welcome drinks...yes/no" You could do a similar thing with, "Will you join us for brunch on Sunday, x/x yes/no?"
