Wedding Question - Please Help

Question

My hairdresser is driving to the wedding site (about twenty min. or so) to do mine and my two bridesmaids hair. Am I supposed to invite her to the wedding? I feel kinda rude telling her to leave after she does my hair. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

what i did was send a general invitaion to the hair place. I just put the name of the hair salon on the outter envelope.

i went TO the place to get my hair done but she did not end up coming to the wedding. Since she's cut my hair for a good number of years i felt that i had to invite her. Also my mom took in some wedding photos afterward next time she got her hair cut to show her. that's not necessary but is a nice gesture. esp. if you don't really know her. i wouldn't really expect her to come but inviting her would be polite.  

Answer 2

you could always ask her to stay if she wants to.  but i don't think she is expected to stay.

Answer 3

i understand how you feel i worry about these things too so if shes just a random stranger and not a family friend or your regular hairstylist i would tell myself is if shes nice enough to say hey dont worry about paying me its on the house then shes being kind thinking of you as a bride so then after she refuses payment say would you like to stay say its free food and drinks and if she does want money then shes obviously not feeling guilty or bad about taking  your money shes just doing her job so you shouldnt feel bad about not inviting her shes there doing her job congratulations :)

Answer 4

As far as I know, you don't generally "invite" your vendors to the wedding; some of them have to be present at the wedding (the photographer, the DJ), others don't (the hairdresser, the make up artist). However, if you have a very personal relationship with your hairdresser, you might want to invite her to the wedding - not because she's your hairdresser, but because she's your friend.

Answer 5

If you think of her as a friend and would invite her if she wasn't your hairdresser then by all means invite her. If you're only wanting to invite her because she is doing the hair, that is not necessary. Give her a big tip (since she is travelingto you) and she'll probably just be anxious to get home anyway. I've been in 6 weddings and not once was the hairdresser invited.  

Answer 6

I don't think she even expects an invite.  She is there to perform a job. Just tip her well, since she drove to the wedding site.  After the wedding, send her a photo and a thank you note.  Just so she knows that you appreciate her.

Answer 7

Send her an invitation at her place of business.  That way, you are keeping it on a business level by not sending the invite to her house.    You are only talking about one person.  It would be nice to include her.  If she doesn't want to come, she can turn down the invite in the RSVP card.  Chances are, if you are getting married on a Saturday, she will need to go back to work for the rest of the day.  Or, if it's an evening wedding, she may want to attend.  If you invite her, you won't feel awkward about it, and she can decide for herself wether to attend or not.  

Answer 8

She is doing a job for you, so she should not expect more than payment for her services.

Answer 9

you are paying her for a service. if you do not know her/ enjoy her friendship why would you feel the need to invite her. I wouldn't worry about it.  

Answer 10

I don't think she expects to be invited.

Answer 11

no, she's not expecting an invite.  Do send her a thank you card with a photo, though.

Answer 12

Don't forget to tip her.
