How to invite guests to the after-party?

Futuremrst, on February 21, 2019 at 3:10 PM Posted in Parties and Events 0 6
My FH’s aunt is throwing an after party at her house after our reception, and I’m trying to figure out how to invite people to it. Should I put it on the wedding website, on the detail card, on the back of the actual wedding invite, or a combo of any of these? Or could it be its own separate card in the invite suite? I don’t want to leave it as just word of mouth because not everyone knows where she lives & would need the address. I’m printing my invites myself (but have an invitation suite & template) so I can tweak plans for the invites if need be.

    Is your aunt ok with every single person coming to her house afterwards? If yes then have a details card in with the invites.

    Agree with this. If she's okay with everyone coming, print them and mail. If she's not, then how will you handle someone at the reception mentioning they are going to an after party they were invited to..but the other guest wasn't invited?

    She is okay with everyone coming, we’re having a small wedding (85 people if everyone RSVPs yes) and the party will be both inside & outside.

    That’s what I was concerned about at first, but she’s okay with everyone coming since there’ll be plenty of room!

    I don't know what the proper etiquette is on this, but if you're planning to invite every single guest, I would make a separate detail card and include it in the invitation. Maybe you could use an online RSVP option on your website since the after party is less formal? I'm sure that she wants at least somewhat of a head count, but having two RSVP cards in the invitation could get confusing.

    On the details card! I'd put it under "wedding related events" like you would if you were having a goodbye brunch or welcome dinner or rehearsal dinner.
