Post Wedding Beach Party

I'm doing the same for my wedding in Mexico in December! I worded it like this "Come hang with the bride and groom at the pool and enjoy a fun day in the sun." I didn't collect RSVPs for it. I'm not sure if people think we are hosting or not, but I really didn't want to write "no host."

View Quoted Comment Awesome.. it’s on your paper invites? I’m thinking of putting Beach Party and the location / time and “ The newlyweds will be hanging out beachside for any guests that would like to informally join us! ”

I did online RSVPs on Zola and I put it as an event on there, with the time and location. No RSVP's I thought meant no host, but my mom has other ideas lol.

I recently attended a wedding in Cancun and they did a similar event- we were informed by word of mouth and seemed to work well that way people don't feel obligated to stay if they can't

I think for that, I would leave it word of mouth, or put it on the wedding website. I think I would suggest leaving it out of the formal invitations, unless you're hosting it.

Word of mouth works fine. I'm attending a small wedding next month at Disney World, and they told us verbally that in lieu of a traditional reception they will be eating and drinking around the world at Epcot and anyone who wants to can join at their own expense (meaning we'd be responsible for both park ticket and food/beverages) which we had no issues with, and I was glad to know far enough in advance to plan accordingly.

View Quoted Comment Thanks for your input! The only reason why I wanted to put in on the invites was so people could make the decision in advance if they want to book their flights/hotels longer in order to attend. But perhaps just putting it on the website will suffice.

I’m doing this at my Disney wedding. Our farewell brunch is right next to Epcot, so we have an “unofficial after party” tab on our wedding website. We kept the language casual (we’ll be walking over after brunch, and anyone who wants is welcome to join us!) and put instructions for purchasing park tickets so it’s hopefully very clear that we won’t be covering the cost. We also have references to it elsewhere on our website, so we’re pretty sure everyone will know it exists as an option. We did not include it on our schedule on the homepage to make it clear this is not part of the hosted events. We haven’t done the invitations yet, but we won’t include that or ask for RSVPs. We will probably include it on our details card in case any of our guests haven’t kept up with the website.
