I'm not getting married anytime soon, but a friend wondered and got me wondering too...
How "correct" or "incorrect" is it to send out a mass invitation to a group? For instance, one invitation to invite the entire staff of the clinic where I work. Obviously you'd have to keep in mind the number of people you're inviting, and though its less personal, no one feels excluded and you save money. I'm sure every case is different, but is there a yes or no answer to this?

In the social standard it is incorrect, however, I'm sure that the group would understand if you sent them only one invitation. I sent a group invitation to my college softball team when I got married. I say go for it.

This would be a no. First, it breaks the rules of ettiquette...if a person is important enough to be invited to the wedding, they deserve a personal invitation.
Second, it doesn't make sense logistically. With only one invitation, how would they RSVP? How would other people in the office know that they aren't included? How would they know if their families are included? If an invitation is presented this way, the couple might be unpleasantly surprised to find that everyone shows up with their families, without responding.

People where I work usually post a "blanket invitation" for the whole group on the bulletin board at work. Special friends are sent personal invitations at home. That way the casual friends can go or not (and purchase a gift) at their discretion. I don't know if Emily Post would agree but it works for us.

I work in a factory and people have said they want to attend.. One said he would like to see a fairy tale wedding ceremony and was not interested in the reception. I plan on making my ceremony open and will put up the time and location of my ceremony only. Then those who want to come can. But I think it is a good idea. Do it. This is your day and should be done your way. Congrats!!!!

Sounds tacky to me. Plus I think people would want their own invitation if for no other reason than to have the date, time and place information provided to them on something they could take home from the office with them.

I think it would be ok to hang up one invitation in the break room if you wanted to invite the whole office. But if you only wanted to invite a few people I would give them each individual invitations.

who cares what is the correct or incorrect way to send out invite. Your guests should be happy you invited them in the first place. Plus your consern should be what your pocket can afford.

I feel this would be inappropriate. Every guest should be made to feel as a guest - special and unique. A wedding is a special day and it should be well thought out whom you would like to share this day with other than your spouse.

I think it sounds fine. You could put reply cards on the board too (if you have them).
