Is it usual to send out a formal invitation (from the bride's parents) to the bridegroom's parents, the ushers and the bridgesmaids? Or is it taken as read that they will be attending? Thanks in advance

Hello

Not sure what the "proper" etiquette is, but we sent invites to both sets of parents and bridesmaids (didn't have ushers). I guess it's nice for them to have a formal invitation and they can keep it afterwards as a reminder of the day.

Hope that helps.

Theoretically the Brides parents are inviting everybody, although of course, nowadays it is quite often sorted out by the couple (as it was with us). So, the Brides parents don't get an invite (as they would be asking themselves), but they should invite the Grooms parents. The Bride and Groom don't get an invite, as it is assumed they will be there anyway!! Don't know the proper ettiquette for Bridesmaids/Best Man/Pages/Ushers, but we sent them an invite as usually you are asking the rest of their family as well.

Thank you both for taking the trouble to answer. We will send them all an invitation.
Yes I did exactly the same as karen for saving and thought it was nice. We organised our own wedding to so the brides parents etc. stuff wasnt relevent anyway. We invited everyone.
