Wedding invitations etiquette?
December 14, 2009
My best friend is my maid of honor in my wedding. Her boyfriend/soon-to-be fiance is a good friend of my fiance and I. Do I send an invitation to him or do I just assume that he will be there as my maid of honor’s date?
Everyone who is invited should receive an invitation – This includes your maid of honour’s boyfriend. In fact, your maid of honour (and the rest of the bridal party) should also receive invitations. Finally, don’t overlook your parents – They should also be receiving invites.

Everyone on your guest list should get an invitation. Many people create scrap books and would like to use an invitation as a keep sake.
As a wedding planner, I have seen brides have a table at the entrance of their venue which holds stationery products such as programs, guest book, and a basket with extra invitations. If you have extra invitations you guests may want an extra for scrapbooking or memory books.

you send an invite to everyone, including your bridesmaids
yeah they are going to be there as your bridesmaids but they may want to keep the invite as a keepsake

I’m sending invites to the bridal party so that we know if they are bringing a guest. I’d rather get the RSVP with guest count in writing rather than them just telling us over the phone. It’s much easier to track on paper.

Your maid of honor should still receive an invitation! They both should!
Congratulations and good luck

Could you send 1 invite addressed to the two of them?
Before my fiance & I lived together, things were sent to him with "& my name" at his home address.
Its always simpler if the couple lives together, but that isn’t the case. But by naming them, I think it is nicer than "MOH & Guest" when you know who her guest would be.

It should be sent to your MOH and include his name on the invitation.

send the maid of honor one with his name on it as well. That way you are recognizing them as a couple.
