* Whether some guests are going to a wedding or not it is etiquette to send them a wedding invitation as some people are sentimental and will keep the invitation.
No, it is not proper etiquette to send weddinginvitations by email if it is a large wedding. If you are having a small wedding and it's casual then you could send a card invitation by email.
Bring a card or small token gift.
Yes it is etiquette to have a bridal shower for a second wedding.
I have not seen the phrase used in a wedding invitation, but in newspaper wedding announcements and in wedding programs (church bulletins). -Emee Wedding Consultant Portland, OR
yes i think why?
If you have not been invited to the wedding then you should not send a gift.
Put BYOB [bring your own bottle, or booze ] on the invitation.
If you wedding invitation mention 'guest' then you can bring your date to the wedding. Sometimes there is a line where you can put '2' by it to let the future bride and her family know you are bringing a guest. Once at the wedding you should introduce your date to friends and don't leave them sitting alone for an hour or so which is rude as they may feel out of place. If there is a Receiving Line at the Wedding then introduce your date.
It is proper etiquette to only invite people to the shower who will also be invited to the wedding. If the couple is having a private ceremony with only family, then only invite family to the shower. If they are eloping and not inviting anyone, it would be safest not to have a shower because those at the shower would be expecting a wedding invitation.
Of course, silly goose!
Etiquette has it that the person who pays for the majority of the wedding is listed first. So if the brides parents are paying, put their names first. It shows who is "hosting" the party. However, although proper order is this, there are many variations of how to list parent's names that can match the style of the bride and groom.
