The weddings at noon The reception is from 12:30-5:30 We are setting up a large tent in my moms back yard with alcohol and also having some food catered for afterwards I will also be having a limo to take people between their hotel rooms and my moms so no one has to worry about drinking and driving
MY QUESTION IS:
Do I include the invite to my moms for the after party with the invitation for the wedding or do I hand them out at the reception?

I guess I would vote for with the invites. People should probably know before hand so that they can make arrangements. Ie, if anyone wanted to attend the after-party, that might mean staying over night (especially if there's alcohol involved) so they might want to book a hotel in advance.
That's so nice of your mom--it's going to be so much fun! The party will go on and on!

i would include it. this way, people can plan and you can get a better idea of how much food you will need for the after party.

So you would put an extra RSVP in the envelope just for the afterparty? Same responce envelope but 2 RSVP's?

I think with the wedding invitation. If you give them more notice, they will be more likely to come.

Are your invites printed yet? Can you include a 'check this box if you plan to attend after-party' kind of thing? Are you inviting everyone to the after-party, or just a select few? You can ask people to call in RSVP's to your mom, or ask them to indicate on response card...

I would include an insert with the invitation to let everyone know about the after party.
It sounds like it will be a great time!

Re: What should I do?
I have a similar situation , but with a between party, instead of an after party. Its not reserved yet, but we will probably run a bar tab in one of the rooms in the Milleridge Inn btwn the church & reception.
I was thinking of putting of putting it on the directions card if I make my own instead of ususing the provided ones. I guess you could put it on the reception card. I don't knoe what to do about RSVps thoguh. I think we might skip that ,since it doesn't really matter for us, but if you are having food, your mom will want to know.
If you are making a separate card, you could just put : All are welcomed to continute the celebration with an after-hours party at Mom (& dad, if its the case) Somebody's house adress Please indicate on the rsvp card if you'll be able to join us.
