Who's sending wedding invitations to their bridal party/parents?...

Who's sending wedding invitations to their bridal party/parents? According to etiquette it's the thing to do but surely it's an unnecessary expense? They obviously know they are invited...

I'd send to family and bridal party and email everyone else! Lol. Family are more likely to keep them.

Our parents will only get one if we have any left spare. They are so expensive I can't see the point.

Yeah as we are getting married abroad so they need to know where and when. Also a nice keepsake x

Ok. Thank everyone. I hadn't really thought about it being a keepsake. I just thought about framing one did ourselves lol. Good point though x

My daughter is getting married they have sent us an invite

My ex in-laws didn't come to my wedding as they said they didn't get an invite. I would have thought one wasn't necessary. But having one as a keepsake is a lovely idea

UKbride Administrator
UKbride Administrator 13 Jun 2017

I am but I know plenty of people that don't. I think my parents are the ones most likely to keep the invite, so they'll definitely be getting one. I didn't give all my family Save the Dates though.

I wasn't going to but the chap said we should 😂 my daughter keeps bugging me to write out a couple of invatations so I'm going to let her do them. I brought packs of pretty but standard invites from card factory so cost wasn't an issue xx

My mum has helped me make them and I am still sending one to her and my dad! She also made them for my sister's wedding last September and she has kept the one they sent her

My mum said she wanted one as a keepsake and my dad won't see anything wedding related until it's "time" (he wants the surprise) so invited them along with everyone else MIL/FIL and bridesmaid the only bridal party member that didn't get one was my 3 year old daughter

I did but only as they wanted them as keepsakes also! It was only a small extra expense.

I am just because it is nice for them to have that to remember the day.

Yes we are giving invites to all the bridal party. Our children can then keep them in their memory boxes. I am printing my own, so no big expense and not doing RSVP cards, just bridal email and phone number.

I have sent them, only because it's a small wedding and I made the invites myself. You do whatever you feel is right but it's something they can keep
