Planning a Post-Wedding Brunch? Here's What You Need to Know
Whoever wants the brunch should pay for it.
As with all wedding events, there are no set rules (anymore) on who funds what. If you're cool with skipping brunch, but your parents aren't, it falls on them to come up with the cash for it. It's fine if brunch is in their home instead of a restaurant or hall, but they have to provide enough food to feed the folks who are attending.
You don't have to invite the whole wedding guest list.
If brunch is in someone's house, and their home isn't the size of the Playboy Mansion, then it's not feasible to include all 150 or so of your wedding reception guests. In that case, refer to rehearsal dinner invite rules: wedding party and dates, immediate family, and out-of-town guests. But even that's a general guideline--you can really invite whomever you want. Just don't put the info up on your wedding Web site if you're excluding some wedding guests (or password protect that section so only those who are invited can get the details).
