Bundling Invitations

Hello fellow bridesmaids/bridesmen/bridespeople,

*I apologize if you saw this on another location of the forum, I didn't realize there was a specific invitations discussion.*

I am looking for some advice. I'm the MOH for my best friend and in the early stages of planning the different bridal party events - like we've got time on our sides. So I'm trying to sort a lot out now so that we are not overwhelmed as the days draw closer.

There are three of us bridesmaids in total, two bridal showers, and one bachelorette. The guest lists for both showers are HUGE to say the least. 

Would it be rude for those that are invited to both the bridal shower and bachelorette to include two invites in the same envelope (save a little on some stamps)? The costs are adding up very quickly due to how many people are on the guest list and this has become a slightly daunting experience for myself. 

Thank you so much in advance for any advice!

A fellow MOH

    It's fine to include two invitations to two events in one mailer, as long as the dates and lead time still make sense.

    That said, I've never seen anyone mail an invitation to a bach party. Those are typically an evite or even just a group chat, and were even 20 years ago. It sounds like you're stretched as far as budget anyway, perhaps skipping a formal printed invitation would be an easy place to save a little.

    Also, for showers, remember that the majority of people shouldn't be invited to more than one shower. You can make an exception for WP and moms, but you shouldn't have much overlap there.

    Hello @MyNameIsNot thank you! So I guess I did not know about the not needing a formal invitation for the bachelorette. These are all of the bride's friends and she only provided addresses. I'll see if I can obtain email addresses as that would make it easier to also communicate with everyone invited to the bachelorette. I don't have the typical social media so I can't reach out to them/communicate that way.

    There is almost no overlap between the two bridal showers unfortunately. The overlap includes myself, one bridesmaid, and the couple's mothers. She has family in one state and the groom has family in the state they live in.

    I've also never received a formal invite for a bach party. It's usually all done over email or group texts/chats.

    It is fine to bundle those invitations if you have an overlap but I'll echo that I've never seen a formal invitation for a bachelorette.  They often go w/ an evite  and seem to be conversational.

    I think you could put a note/invite in the shower invites for the the bachelorette. If you don’t have their phone numbers or you don’t use social media much I think that’s a fine option.

    I think you can bundle the invitations for overlapping guests.

    I received a printed invitation for a bachelorette once, for the now wife of my cousin. The event itself was apparently casual, because the invitation was casual in tone. But I wasn't able to attend it.

    I like this idea. This will help resolve a few issues. Thank you!
