Question
My daughter will be married in NY, but all our family and friends are in MI.
We will be having a party the following week after the wedding in MI. for
those that would like to attend, but unable to travel to NY. Should I send out
2 invites or would it be okay to include the party information with the
wedding invite? Some guest I know will attend both.
Thanks
Patti
Patti:
A wedding invitation should not be sent to anyone that is not welcome to attend the wedding.
Those that will be invited to the event in MI should be sent an invitation just for the reception. It should be worded something along the lines of:
Please join us in a wedding celebration for
<Brides maiden name>
and
<Grooms name>
who will be married on <wedding date>
For those that will be able to attend both events, they should receive separately mailed invitations to both.
I hope this helps!
