Are facebook wedding dance invites tacky??

Shioban, on March 16, 2018 at 1:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 10
It's currently 3 months until my wedding. The ceremony and dinner are at a church, and We have a separate dance/open bar part at a local venue. Is it tacky to send invitations to the dance through Facebook? We've already sent out formal paper invites for the ceremony, and some paper invites to family for the dance.

    I would find that to be tacky, but more so inviting people to the dance only and not the ceremony is worse in my book. That's considered a tiered reception and it's rude.

    I'm confused... wouldn't the dance be a reception? Isn't everybody you invited to the ceremony invited to the reception?

    Everyone should be invited to everything. The only time this is okay is if you’re having a ceremony with immediate family only (parents, siblings, grandparents). But everyone coming to the reception should still be provided dinner.

    I wouldn't.

    You can use online sites such as Greenvelope.com (we used this for ALL our invites). They look more formal, and are extremely convenient. They track your RSVPs and update you with each new RSVP.

    Why didn't you just include everything on the invitation?

    Yes, it isn't tacky to do invitations by Facebook, and then to only be invited for the dance portion. Everyone invited to the ceremony and reception is invited to then dance portion. Tiered weddings are not kind.

    This only works if you are in parts of Europe.

    I agree with the above posters, either invite people to everything or nothing at all. It tends to make people feel like they’re not good enough to witness the wedding, and in this case to be fed, but just good enough to party with.
