Do you send an invitation to everyone in the wedding party?

Question

I am in the process of mailing out invitations. Do you send an invitation to the people in the wedding party? Also, do you send out rehersal invitations? We are having a very casual wedding, but I want to make sure everyone gets an invitation that is suppose too. Thanks ahead of time!

Answer 1

I would say yes; You're attendants would want a souvenir and it just seems like the polite thing to do.

Answer 3

I sent out invitations to the wedding party. There were usually spouses involved so I felt like I needed to.  And I never sent out rehearsal invitations.  I just called everyone on the phone and told them about it.  That was 10 years ago though- I guess you would email them now!  :)

Answer 4

Yes, you DO send invitations to all the members of your wedding party. This way, they know if they can bring guests - and it's just a nice gesture. It's also important so that you can keep track of your RSVPs - it would be lousy if (in the stress of wedding planning) you forget to order dinner for the wedding party because you didn't have them marked on your RSVP list!

You do not have to send formal invitations for the rehearsal dinner, but do make sure your party knows (either by phone, email, or whatever), where they need to be and when.

Answer 5

You should send an invitation to everyone you want to be at the wedding, including those you know cannot make it but are still invited (such as out of town family/friends who you know will not come, should still get an invitation).  And yes, send one to your wedding party people!  Yes, rehearsal invitations are a must.   Not everyone needs to go to the rehearsal though.  Just immediate family, and anyone who's "in" the wedding or has a special job.  

Answer 6

Yes, the wedding party gets an invite, no, you do not send out rehearsal invites. A simple phone call would suffice.  

Answer 7

We are sending out one invitation per family and they dont all have to come to the rehearsal just the main party i.e. brides father or the person who is giving her away, bridesmaids with maid/matron of honoour and the best man. Not forgetting the bride and groom.

Answer 8

Yes on both questions.  

Answer 9

Congratulations! This is a special event in your life. You want to take the time to learn the formal customs. You have one shot to make a good impression, do it right! It might be helpful to perchance a book that can help guide you.

Here is my advice; "It is always customary to send out formal invitations to everyone who you are planning to attend the wedding".

The invitation does two things:

1) It shows you care about their presence at your special occasion. Most people won't show up without a formal invite.

2) The invitation and following response cards help you to plan on the number attending. This will help in knowing how to plan your attendance interest, seating and expenses.

Good Luck!
