YAWT: Proper etiquette on inviting groomsmen?

[IndyColtsFan]

i don't have a wedding planner. i AM the wedding planner. it's actually a lot better now that I took control

Yikes, I'm getting old! I didn't see the "self" after wedding planner in your OP.

just had them over and asked them, no big deal. for far away i called.

My friend who is soon to be married asked me to be a groomsmen over text which I thought was 100% appropriate. You should be okay with this route as long as your groomsmen aren't women.

It's really the best answer, then, send the paper invites because that's likely expected of you.

My wedding planner self says "send a proper paper invitation"

Yeah - OK.

Just take the mother fuckers out for some drinks and ask them to be part of the party.

I would not text. But, in a pinch, I would indeed call and talk to them about it. Let them know whats up, etc. Details on:
- they will have to spend $$$ for a suit
- be part of the bachelor party (and possibly chip in/contribute)
- standing during the ceremony and posing for many pictures

Definitely tell them about the suit thing. My buddy failed to mention this to me and we all had to drop $200 to rent a tux to match.
