Do I Invite...
Those who are in my bridal party, do I have to send them wedding invitations too? When I was the MoH, I got one. But I'm wondering if it's "proper" to send invites to someone who's going to be IN the wedding...

I sent invites to my BP. Because, I figured they may want to keep them as a memory thing.

I got both a wedding invitation and a rehearsal dinner invite when I was a bridesmaid. I really liked getting both, since I tend to hold on to things like that from close friends' special moments. I think it's a good idea-shows that even though you "know" they'll be there, you still went to the trouble of including them in the formal invitations and such...but that's just me!

For my bro's wedding, we sent it to EVERYONE and required them to RSVP, that way when we're going through the list/cards of returned rsvp's, we'll have an exact head count of people to tell the caterer. Oh and dont forget to add you and FH to the list, my FSIL forgot to add herself to the list

I sent invites to those in the BP as well, though I wasn't a stickler for returning those cards - a verbal RSVP was good enough. Funny moment: at a family gathering, DH's brother (one of the best men) announced "We (he and his wife, who was one of my BM's) are not mailing in the card, but we'll be there."
And my own parents were among the last to send theirs in!

I sent them to my BP... with an RSVP to find out what they wanted to eat.

Ahhh. Ashley, that was a nice idea! Margie, also a great idea, finding out what the BP wanted to chow down - i'll consider that.
I think I'll go ahead and send invites to the BP as well. Thanks, I was a bit confused because if they're IN the wedding, why send the invites???? lol.

I think this is kinda different but I guess it works. I just got the mail and I had a card asking me to be a moh to a cousin/friends wedding. I really didn't even know she was getting married or even seeing any one. She RSVP that she was coming to our wedding but never showed up and we really are not even close as what we use to be. But if you want something different you could do some thing like that. If you are not having a sit down dinner then I wouldn't send them a RSVP asking them what they want to eat.

Oh, I also had some BP member with families. And, I didn't know if the husbands/wives and kids would be coming. So, that's another reason I sent the RSVP to them. And, I figured if I was sending the RSVP, I should send the actual invite. LOL

Mine aren't out yet, but I've planned them for everyone. I know I like to save things like that, especially if it's someone close to me.

I sent one out to everyone. It was partly because they could then keep them if they so desired. It was also because I needed to know what everyone wanted to eat. Then it was a bonus tangible reminder for them as to when and where things were happening.
Unless they are that expensive that it would make a difference in cost, I would send them to everyone.

I sent them out to our BP too, I didn't need their menu choices, I just thought they might like to get one!

Why not?
As some of the others have mentioned most will want to have them for memories or to show people rather than for information. Several invitation places give you extra invites so we say, why not? It can't hurt anything.

I am in the middle of printing mine out. I am sending one to everyone, even BP. That way I can keept track on how many people. Some of the BP have families , so I need a good count.

I think it's a good idea to send them to everyone. That way, you don't forget to include your bridal party in the caterer's head count.
