Welcome letter itinerary help

My mom is insistent that we include a schedule of events for the weekend in our welcome letter but not everyone is invited to all events (family and bridal party are invited to the rehearsal dinner whereas our friends are invited to a welcome party later). Does anyone have any suggestions for crafting a welcome letter so that guests will have the information they need without people knowing about events they aren’t invited to or causing confusion by listing an event they haven’t heard about before that day? I’m hoping to avoid creating multiple letters and putting names on welcome bags because I feel like there’s no way that will get executed correctly but it looks like that’s where we’re headed. Any suggestions are welcome!

We didn’t do a welcome letter but we did create a weekend itinerary. This helped because we had it mapped out by day. However, we only had a handful of people who were not invited to the rehearsal dinner, but they were invited to the bachelorette party and had all the details they needed. Maybe if you all do two different itineraries it could help.

I would only put the events that everyone is invited to in the welcome bag itinerary. Is everyone who will be receiving a welcome bag invited to the welcome party? If so, definitely list the details for that, and the wedding details, and any other related events that everyone is invited to.

I would put the itinerary in all the welcome bags and then create a group text with the bridal party and family members you’re inviting to the rehearsal dinner and tell them you didn’t include the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner in the schedule. Then I would state in a following text the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner schedule, and ask people in the group chat to respond a confirmation that they got the info. The morning of rehearsal I’d send out another reminder to the group chat. It’s a lot of steps I wrote but it’s minimal effort and not time consuming! If anyone is older or not tech savvy you can always call them too, and have them write it down.
