Invite Wedding Party’s Guest?

Danielle, on November 8, 2020 at 9:42 AM Posted in Wedding Ceremony 0 10
I am having a private ceremony of just immediate family, but everyone is invited to the reception afterwards. My question is, I have 3 (2 groomsmen & 1 bridesmaid) who are bringing a date to the wedding, do I invite them to the ceremony or just have them come to the reception? They would have to sit without their date that is in my wedding, and basically wouldnt see them because they will be getting ready with us all day. TIA

    I personally would invite them to the ceremony if you're planning to invite them to the reception.

    Yes. Of course invite them to the ceremony too. Otherwise where would their dates be waiting until the ceremony ended? Would it require that they drive separately?

    Significant others (regardless of the time together) are an automatic invite and invited to both ceremony and reception. Why would they have to sit separately?

    Hi Tía,


    As covid-19 brides! You invite them to both and most likely they will go to Reception only. Worry about you and your FH enjoying your big day. Congratulations
    I postponed my wedding from October 2020 to March 2021. Many are cancelling on me but for second invites I worked on my B list. I still don’t have a dress.
    Let’s continue our sanity

    Invite them to both. If they feel out of place because everyone else is family, they will decline. At meal time / reception seat them with their dates. As people from the same household
    they can sit close together, at a 8 ft or more space from others . Due to covid, you will not want the whole bridal party and dates with you, since everyone in the place will come to see you, and your wedding party does not need strangers walking close while they have masks off to eat.

    At the reception they’d be sitting together, but at the ceremony the significant other would be sitting without their date since they are in the wedding

    They would drive themselves to the ceremony/reception. They have to drive themself to whichever one they go to anyways, since our wedding parties are riding to the venue together to get ready
