    I know this is probably a silly question, but are we supposed to send a STD and an invite to our parents?  and what about the bridal party?  Thanks for helping...I'm on etiquette overload atm and can't remember.

    even though you know they are coming, its still a nice gesture and much appreciated by parents and bridal party members.  not sure about the STD, but i would definitely give an invite to parents and the bridal party.

    If your STD has a bunch of information on it, it wouldn't hurt to send them one. It's nice to have all the info in one place.

    Send 'em!  That is the kind of thing that parents and bridal party members love to see.  :)

    Definately send them.  I don't think anyone was more excited to get the invitations than our parents.  And as far as the bridal party - there are posts all over these boards from people who were asked to participate somehow in a wedding and then didn't receive an invitation and are now upset and confused about what is going on.  Your bridal party are still guests - just guests who participate - as opposed to being some kind of staff.  Not only do they deserve an invitation, they are probably the only people (besides your immediate family) who will save them.

    Oh man, I sent everything to everyone! My mom will probably have our STD on the fridge for like another 10 years.
