Send new additions a save the date?
I am getting married in 3.5 months. I sent save the dates out about 9 months before my wedding date, but have not yet sent formal invitations. I planned on inviting a bunch of family who live overseas, and after talking to them it seems that almost all of them are not coming. In light of this, I have decided to invite some other extended family who were not on the original list. I know that I could send them an invitation to the wedding and no one would be the wiser.
However, I also would like to invite some of them to my bridal shower, which is being held 6 weeks prior to my wedding, and invites have already been sent out for it.
Would it be strange to send a bridal shower invitation to those who have not received a save the date (and may not even know the wedding date/ location) prior to sending them a wedding invitation?
Should I send them a save the date asap, then send a shower invite, and send a wedding invite afterwards? (they would get them all within about a 6 week time span of each other)
or send those people their wedding invitation early and send a shower invite after that?
What is the proper etiquette?
Thanks!
