Post-wedding celebration etiquette

Maria, on December 30, 2018 at 4:20 PM Posted in Planning 0 7
Hi!

My future in-laws are trying to host a Post-Wedding party for us (we're having a destination wedding) and future MIL asked us to gather phone # and emails from our guest list so she could send an e-vite. I have most of my guests emails but my fiancè still has to gather the ones from his co-workers. He is now trying to go through a loophole by creating a FB private invite to send it to his coworkers and our guests.

I was okay with it till I realized the original invite had our registry information. If we do the FB group invite, we would be sending out the invite & would show up as co-hosts of this party in, which case, I feel is very tacky to add the registry. I say it should come from his mom exclusively due to the fact she wants to add our registry information.

Any suggestions?

Thanks!

    I wouldn’t add registry info to either invitation.

    How would guests know then? His parents don't know all our friends and co-workers to be able to spread the word

    I think if she’s hosting you a party your fiancé should do as she asks and provide her the emails

    Registry info never goes on the invitation. If your guests want to bring a gift and care about where you might be registered then they will ask. I personally wouldn't create a Facebook invite though because most people I know, me included, never even check the events on Facebook. For his coworkers could he just use their work email?

    If you have a wedding website it can go on there. But registry info never goes on a wedding invitation. The only invitation it can go on is a shower invitation. If someone wants to give you a gift they will reach out and ask where you’re registered. But to include it with the wedding invite comes across as gift grabby.

    Most weddings I have been to include registry information on the invitation if there is no website. They put it on the website if they have one.

    Kelly, this is NOT the wedding invite. Is a Post-wedding celebration party that his parents are hosting for those who couldn't attend the wedding.
