    Have any of you ladies, sent STD and invites etc to yours and H2B parents? I'm not sure whether or not we should. What did you do?

    I will send to my parents to show how good (or bad) I am at cardmaking and cause my mum is so far away and loves receiving cards from me, and to my h2b parents as well as MOG is kinda saying I am too early to do things and I am sure her boyfriend/husband will make a snide comment about it (I don't think he likes me) but to make them realize its becoming true :)

    I think it might be nice for them to get even if they are involved! If they're involved alot like paying for it and they receive an invite through the post without warning they may think you're being ungrateful and just inviting them like any other guest so maybe in that case either give it to them face to face or let them know one's in the post, I know my mum's quite sentimental and that's something she would keep in her memory box so would be upset if she didn't get to have one even if she already knew all the info and was paying! Maybe they'd like to have one to keep = ) x

    We see our parents all the time and all live really local to each other and have close relationships with our parents, but we still gave them a std when they came as they are pretty fridge magnets and they wanted one as well.

    And we have one on our fridge too :D

    I think its a nice keepsake but when i sent a invite to h2b mum (first wedding) she kicked off saying how dare my parents invite her to her own sons wedding.
    Because of this iv not done any invites this time...i sent emails and did phone calls.

    We are doing Save the dates, and even though we know both sets of parents are well aware of the date, we are still sending to everyone. My mum who lives 5 mins away (his don't) and is very helpful with the wedding wants to keep one as a keep sake.

    We aren't doing STDs, as many of our guests are coming from abroad we have done it electronically tbh (need early confirms for those requiring rooms etc). We are giving/sending out invites (which my sister is making) to everyone.

    We are giving invites to our parents that are slightly different from everyone elses to make them feel extra special.
