Why not just send invites, with specifics, and do two types. One to the evening and one all day? Xxx

Even better, why not just have one reception rather than two?

Probably because they want a sit down meal and it would cost to much.

There is, of course, another solution.;)

Evening invites should be BANNED!

You can tell I do not like them at all.....

Either I am invited to the full gig or I am going elsewhere, sorry babes.

Anyway, since I am on the thread, I would just text/watsapp the Full Day Guests with the date and looking forward to seeing you at our wedding kind of message. No cards, too expensive.

Forget about anything to do with the afterbirth crowd. Eight weeks is enough for them to decline.

Sorry.... I am being such a biatch.

But TBH I absolutely HATE weddings. I only go to family ones now, and one advantage of getting a bit older is the close family is nearly all wedded off by now, happy days!

Yep, good idea. Our posts crossed where I said same thing.

the last few weddings I have been to.. and my own.. were later on.. with a 'sit down' reception and then became an evening party.. by which point the children were exhausted, most people utterly ratted and behaved like twerps ... My wedding.. I went home by myself at 7pm and left my guests to it.. I was in bed by 10pm and admitted to hospital the next day lol.

My sister had her wedding at 5pm, the last registry office window on the day.

Then we went to a hotel for dinner, and she and new husband disappeared and left us all to it.

They did say goodnight though!

Best thing ever. No stress for her and husband, and we just ate and drank and drifted home eventually!

She died shortly after the wedding though, so I am still in bits. Sorry.

My cousin's son invited us to their evening do we got a save the evening a few months before. My DD sent out save the dates to day guests only each to their own no wrong or right way I think.

I wouldn't send them to anyone. You tell your immediate family so that if they wish they can plan around it. Invitations are not a summons.
