Sunday brunch wording?

Sara, on September 1, 2022 at 2:04 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 3

My wedding is next weekend and we have a fun weekend planned.

We have invited (and are paying for) everyone's dinner/drinks on Friday as well as Saturday.

The idea was thrown around within my family for a casual Sunday lunch where we go somewhere and every family can pay their own way.. come and go as they please, etc. Sounds great. But, I'm now having other guests ask me if I'm available to meet up for drinks on Sunday before they head out of town. How do I tactfully invite them, but indicate that they're paying their own way? Or, will they just assume this (I would totally assume this!!!). Should I add to my wedding website and just open it up to everyone or does that imply we are paying? I'm thinking I just tell people who want to meet up on Sunday?

    Maybe just say something along the lines of I ll be at this place from these times with my family you are welcome to meet me there for a drink. Or just say you have plans with your family. Have so much fun!

    I would spread news of the brunch via word of mouth. In my family and social circle, if a morning-after brunch is listed on the couple's wedding website, then it is a given that the couple is footing the bill for said brunch. If you spread it via word of mouth (i.e. "hey, we're having brunch here at this time, feel free to join us if you'd like," then you can get away with having people pay their own way. In my experience, if it's on the wedding website, then this definitely implies that you will be paying. But if it's spread via word of mouth, then the implication is that everyone pays their own way

    Word of mouth definitely. If you put it in the website, it will appear as a formal event you are hosting and paying for. Rosebud and Hanna put it well: “We will be here at this time. Feel free to join us.”
