i think it's fine to let everyone know that you'll be hanging out and having brunch and you'd love for people to be able to join you, as long as you're clear that you're not paying.
I think people refer to these as "non-hosted" events (unhosted? not sure). I think I remember Mrs. Cowboy Boot having a non-hosted welcome dinner, maybe check out her blogs on it. I think it would be okay to have it in the invitation so that people can plan their weekends, but just trying to figure out the wording is complicated.
I think if you are very careful about the wording (or even do it word of mouth) you should be ok.

Hi Bees! So we really want to have a (very) informal morning-after brunch near the hotel where everyone is staying. The thing is, we can't really afford to pay for the brunch. We don't so much want to treat this as a "party" with decor and all that stuff... it's more like we just want to let people know that a bunch of people from the wedding will be meeting at a particular place to grab brunch, relax, chat, etc.
Is it really bad form to initiate the morning-after brunch but expect people to foot their own bill? Of course I wouldn't send invites for such a thing, but would it be ok to include info about it in the OOT bags, as long as it's not phrased like an invite?
Please give me some insight -- and let me have it if this is the rudest thing ever!! It won't hurt my feelings :)
