invitation etiquette

if you have an announcement made at church regarding your wedding, do you also have to give invitations to individual members?

Re: invitation etiquette

I was curious about the same thing. I don't want people to think I'm being funny by giving some invitations and some not, but there are some folks at the church who are invited to the reception and some that are not. So I'm thinking that those that are invited to the reception will get individual invitations.

Re: invitation etiquette

Just because they announce your wedding at the church does not automatically mean that the entire church is invited, unless it was said that they were.

We all know how expensive weddings can be, and as a Wedding Planner who's also getting married, I would say to give invitations to those at the church you must (ie friends, church elders, etc...), but as for the rest, I wouldn't think twice about it. I was worried about the same thing myself last month. I've just done my future brother-in-law's wedding. I was worried that when they introduced them in the church, that the entire church would feel like they were invited as well. Some members of the church were there just to help out with decorations and serving the food, but only the Pastor, Deacon and their wives were actually at the reception,

Re: invitation etiquette

well that is a good idea Ginoue...I did speak to my coordinator and she pretty much said the same thing so that is 1 less thing for me to worry about!
