    The night before my wedding we are hosting a welcome bbq for out out of towners and family and then my FMIL is hosting a day after brunch. We need to have a number for how many people is attending each.  The brunch is at the hotel where our block of rooms is and we are going to be providing transportation to the welcome bbq from the hotel.

    Should we assume that everyone who was invitied to those parties and are coming to the wedding will be going to those? Or is it ok to put on the RSVP postcard a spot to indicate if they will be attending those events too?

    I definitely wouldn't assume that everyone will be coming to the "extra" parties - especially the day-after brunch. Some people may need to travel to get home, etc.

    I would say that you could put a spot on the RSVP, but the concern is that, unless you are making your own RSVP cards, some people will get a response space when they aren't actually invited to the party. Also, some people may be unfamiliar with the day-after brunch concept, so they may not know what it is you are asking them to RSVP to.

    I know it my be extra work, but my best suggestion would be to send an additional invite to the rehearsal dinner & brunch to those guests that are invited (they dont' have to be as nice as the wedding invite e.g. my FMIL is using the ones you can print from Michaels) and have them RSVP by phone (to save you postage, extra response cards, etc.) Alternatively, you could make (or have printed) an additional insert in your invitation set letting them know all the info. This way, the people who aren't invited to the extras will never know it, and the people that are will have the info they need to know.

    Hope this helps!

    are you sending invitations for the bbq and brunch? if so, i would add the line "regrets only" and your phone number.

    I would definitely send out some sort of RSVP, even if it's just an email for them to respond to!
