I'm getting myself in a right mess over invites. We have guests who are coming all day, guests who are coming to the ceremony and evening and some evening only guests. Do I need 3 different sets of invites or am I missing something huge ???? I'm not feeling well and I've got builders in making a racket so i think I'm just a bit overwhelmed ???? help!

If u got guests coming all day, would that be the same as ceremony and evening. If that's the case, u only need two different invites. Hope that helps and congratulations xx

Do you mean some guests are not having the wedding breakfast? Then it would be 3 different invites, evening only, ceremony and evening (state that they will have to make arrangements for their own meal and possibly put some local restaurant info in them) and one for the whole day, including dietary information for guests.

It sounds like you have 3 groups so yes you'll need one "our ceremony starts at X o'clock followed by wedding breakfast and reception", one "our evening reception starts at X o'clock" and one "our evening reception starts at X o'clock but if you'd like to join us for the ceremony it starts at..." I think it's over complicated to have people at ceremony but not the breakfast though, simpler if all day is all day

Yes you need 3 if some of your day guests aren't invited to the wedding breakfast.
I would assume that if I was invited to the ceremony then I would be invited to the wedding breakfast

Nope just 2 - anyone can come & see you get married, especially if it's a church as that's a publuc building, it's only the reception afterwards & the evening reception that the invites go out for. Anyone coming to see you married & then the evening only receive an evening invite as they should discreetly leave after the ceremony

I did 2 invites one for all day, and one for evening only. Happy to help

Surely you need 2 one for the all day guests and one for the evening guests?

I had two invites one for all day and one for evening and then I put an insert in a few a saying whilst numbers are small.for the meal we would love for you to share our joy and love whilst we say our vows or something like that x

Ours is slightly odd in that i have more capacity for the wedding breakfast than the ceremony. So planning on having some guests arrive directly after the ceremony for the reception and breakfast etc. No idea how to word that for invited 😂

I'd suggest having the 3 sets of invites so you don't get yourself confused then you can have the different lists for each event :)
