Facebook Event Title?!

What do you mean "people you missed"? Do you mean some people have formal invitations and others just he FB event? I'm confused.

But why???

I did wix.com for my engagement party invites but for those you missed I wouldn't do facebook invites.

View Quoted Comment Its an open house reception party, I wanted to send it out to anyone I didn’t have addresses for or even just to have as a reminder. I’ve seen it done a few times and I like the idea, what do you think?

If they aren't close enough to either of you such that you can remember their name,or ask for their address, and send them a proper invitation, why would you invite them to the reception?

Girl, your wedding is in under two weeks. If they haven't received an invitation by now, they'll know they were an afterthought.

I've received Facebook invites to weddings when I know others received paper invitations long before or when I'm added to the Facebook event really close to the wedding. I think two things when this happens. One, that I'm being b-listed and you're only inviting me because others aren't coming (which is incredibly rude). Two, that I wish you had given me a little more notice because if I had been invited 6-8 weeks beforehand as is normal for wedding invitations, I might have been available to attend. My husband thinks one thing when this has happened: that he'd appreciate adequate notice that he's invite so he can budget for the couple's wedding gift. Please don't invite people after you already sent invitations to those that mattered enough to you to get invited on time. Please don't put people in a situation where they think they're being b-listed or that you don't respect their time.

I think it sounds like a B-list gift grab.

Haha good point 😅 So I’ve had 3 sent to me this year, one of them sent me both a formal invite and the evite over FB.. it was just nice to have a reminder! However, if it’s not something everyone does, maybe it’s just a local thing?? Okay then it sounds like you don’t think I should do it at all?

A reminder really isn't necessary. I absolutely wouldn't invite anyone now that didn't already get invited with a paper invitation.

If I didn't get a formal invite and then you send me something on Facebook, I'm definitely going to think you're looking for extra gifts.

If you sent me a formal invite, I'm not forgetting your wedding.

Also I hope your ceremony is just immediate family or this is opening a whole other can of etiquette related worms

View Quoted Comment Well at least I’m safe there! Ceremony is very private, the party is casual. Y’all are right, engagement was super short so things have been rushed and last minute, BUT I definitely see why this could be taken wrong- So no FB all together!

View Quoted Comment I think that is a really good idea, you don't want the wrong people to show up.

I would not do this.

My fiance's ex girlfriend did this to us a few days before the wedding Seriously.

To me that says, you aren't worth feeding (it was to the dance only) but we want a gift.

If you did this how would you ensure you had enough seats and meals for your guests?
