Is it rude to not put the venue address on the invitation?

Ok I know this may sound off, but I was wondering if it would be rude to not put the address of the location we will have our wedding at. Our worry that people will not RSVP and will end up showing up to the wedding and we are on such a small budget but have a large family.

I was thinking about putting the city that the venue will be in and then once they RSVP then send them the address and directions. What do you think?

Many blessings to all Smile

    Don't do your second option. That's kind of rude. Put the address. When people don't rsvp, you need to get in touch with them to find out if they're coming or not so you'll have your answer.

    Yeah, that sounds like a bad plan.  If people forget to RSVP, you have to track them down and get an answer.  Your guests will probably just assume that either you screwed up the invites or the printer did with leaving off the address.
    This is a neglected planning bio.

    Sometimes I feel like people think that brides are delicate little flower princesses who get all dressed up and pretty for one special moment of their dreams, when really they're just normal people who just happen to be getting married. Things shouldn't have to be sugar-coated for grown-ass women. -mstar284

    If they don't RSVP then you call them to find out.  Don't withhold the address to encourage people to RSVP.

    Besides, I could probably find the address on my own.  I would just be annoyed that you didn't include it.

    Formal invites will often only list the city and name of the venue. Like:

    First Baptist Church
    Peoria, Illinois

    I think it is assumed that most people are local and will know where that is.

    So it is up to you. If you go without listing the address, don't call or mail people and give it to them. Put an insert in the invitation with "directions" and the full address.

    With Mapquest and Google maps... how are is it really to find out what the address is?  Or what about them just called the venue or another invitee.

    Point is not having the address will not stop non-RSVP'ers from just showing up.








    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.

    We're putting the venue address on the 'information' card, and on our wedding website, as well.  That will also have more specific directions on it, as well as accomodation info, places in the area to visit, registry info, etc.
