Hello!
So my lovely BMs are throwing me a combination shower/bachelorette party back home in CO. Both events are taking place on the same day b/c several people are travelling in from OOT, myself included. They are sending a regular invitation for the shower, and adding an insert card about the b-party.
One of them just called me to ask about the wording for the insert card. Here's the dillio:
The shower is a hosted brunch at a nice restaurant. The BMs are paying for everyone who attends.
The b-party is going to kick off with dinner, but the dinner is not hosted, b/c my BMs cannot afford to feed 20 people twice in one day.
I wouldn't expect that as a guest, but they want to word the insert so people know that dinner is at their own expense.
Is there a polite way to word that? "The celebration continues at a non-hosted dinner at Whatever Restaurant, 1234 Main Street" is kind of what they have now.
Thoughts?
Please and thank you!
