What is Proper Invitation

 

Etiquette?

 

Tidbit Tuesday! This week we are going to talk about proper etiquette for invitations for different wedding events.

When it comes to making a guest list, you have to look at the full picture. Engagement party. bridal shower, rehearsal, and wedding. Weddings are such a beautiful and intimate moment that you want to share with your closest family and friends but is it proper to invite guests to one event, like the bridal shower, and not the wedding? 

The answer is no. Ideally, whoever you invite to celebrate in your big day, gets an invite to the proper events leading up to your big day. The only exception is if you are aware that a guest can't make it to your big day, but still wants to help you celebrate your milestones. 

I always tell my clients, that it is your day! You get final say in who you want there, how your event is ran, how it is decorated and so on. If you want a small wedding, do it! If you want a bigger wedding, invite everyone you know! Have the party of your life! Don't do something that you don't want to do though to please others. 
Below is the link to an article from Martha Stewart's website that explains things in depth.
