Should the names of bridesmaids & groomsmen, etc be included in wedding invitation?

I wanted to create my own wedding invitation. Should I include the names of the bridesmaids and groomsmen, flower girls, maid of honor and the best man? Thanks.

Should the names of bridesmaids %26amp; groomsmen, etc be included in wedding invitation?
that might make the invite a little too long. it would be easier to include them on a wedding program. just stick to your name, the grooms, and your parents.
Reply:No because if one of them craps out you will have to reprint the invitation.. Better off publishing the name of local divorce attorney or er at the nearest mental hospital so you will have it for future reference...
Reply:If you want to.





We only put our names on the invitation.





We are putting the attendants on the programs though.
Reply:Its usually not done but it would be fine
Reply:No, it's a waste of space. Put them in the program instead.
Reply:No. That listing can go in the program you give out at the church.
Reply:No, and if you want to create your own invite, look at websites to see what a typical one says. people have short extension spans so don't bore them with an excessively long invitation. Check out this website, and read what they typical invitation says.
Reply:No, but they should be sent an invitation. You can include them in the program, but not on that actual invitation.
Reply:No, it's an invite to your wedding, not theirs, it is not necessary to put them on there, some people have loads of attendants and their invites would be huge if that was the done thing.
Reply:No just on the Programs is enough
Reply:It is up to you. You can do it either way. People usually don't list the bridesmaids, groomsmen, flower girls, etc on the invitations because it is going to be way too long. You want to make it short, simple, and beautiful. But since it is your wedding I think you should do what your heart desires.
Reply:NOPE. if you wish to print their names on the programs for the wedding ceremony that is where they would go. There is no place for them on the wedding invite.
Reply:Oh my no! That is not where there names go. The only names even required to have printed in the invitation are yours and the grooms! Here...try this:

Reply:That's a great idea to create your own invitations,but it is not appropriate to put everyone that's in the wedding on them.A nice wedding program and dedications is where you would put their names on them.Another good idea that i did for my daughters wedding is put some fun photo's of everyone in the wedding party on a poster board at the Reception Hall and everyone got a kick out of it.That's a good way to show them how much the both of you appreciates them all.Good Luck!!!!!!!
Reply:No, but if you choose to that is your decision. But that is why most people make programs to let everyone know the names of the attendants and their roles.
Reply:why would u do that?
Reply:No. The bridesmaids, groomsmen, etc. are neither hosting the event or the subject of the event.





The bride and groom's names must go on the invitation, and it is traditional for the parents of the bride to be named because traditionally they host the event. It's also perfectly acceptable for the bride and groom to be the only names (either writing 'together with their parents' or without any mention of parents if circumstances make that necessary or preferable [deceased parents, parents disapproval, the bride and groom are middle-aged and their parents aren't involved, etc.]) or to list Bride: daughter of x and x, and Groom: son of x and x.





But unless the flower girl is hosting the event, her name doesn't need to appear. ; )
Reply:No! That goes on the program at the ceremony.
Reply:My friend designed a web site with all the info and it included the wedding party with some funny things to say about the party.
