I think adding another card would be ok. Back home in our traditional weddings we have three events so one envelope has three cards.
I added extra invites for other events. I think it's a smart idea because they get all the information at once and can plan for it!
Personally, I would send the BBQ invitations at the same time, but separately from the wedding invitations. I wouldn't want the guests to assume that everyone was invited to the BBQ and cause awkwardness if it came up in conversation. Not a big deal though, I think an insert into the invitation itself could work out just fine.
Okay, one of my bridesmaids pointed something out to me - That's I'm iniviting KIDS to the BBQ but NOT THE WEDDING. So, I'm of the mindset now that perhaps I need to mail these out separately - Addressing the entire family on the BBQ invites and the adults invited to the wedding on the others. Correct?

Create the honeymoon of your dreams.
Our timeline for the wedding is this:
Because some important OOT guests will see so little of us and are also flying in or traveling from afar, we decided to leave on Sunday for our honeymoon and host at our home an "OOT and Family BBQ" the day after our wedding. I'm having my bridal party arrange a lot of this (two of the girls are my neighbors on the same street) along with help from both his and my mothers as far as food and prep work.
The question is about invitations. I'd like to invite those people in the actual wedding invitations to the BBQ also. I'm afraid that some will make the assumption that we are leavign right away for the trip so they will not plan to be there for a second night. I don't want to post it on the wedding website because its not going to be open to everyone.
Is it a bad idea to slide an additional, smaller envelope and notecard into the wedding invites when they go out to invite people to this separate next day event? Or is there another, better way to do this?
