Should you wear a slip under a long and very full wedding dress
You can substitue it by wearing some legging...
If the prom dresses 2011  has a lot of layers, I dont think a slip is necessary. It might even  get in the way when you are dancing. Why dont you ask the salespeople at  your bridal shop for their opinion
A slip would be a good idea, but  you really dont have to if the dress is already long and very full. No can do. It is not proper etiquette to invite people to an engagement  party when they are not invited to the wedding also.  Best thing to do  Have a housewarming party after the wedding. Invite your friends then.  Or wait until a holiday post wedding.. Make it a holiday open house.  It  would be proper to have a informal party or gathering AFTER the wedding  and invite all at that time.  Engagement parties are only for family  and very close friends . . . people who will definitely be invited to  the wedding.
Could you have a second reception for the friends and  family that can not make it to the wedding My sister wanted to get  married out of state at a vacation spot and not everyone was able to  travel so they came home after the wedding and had a 2nd reception a few  weeks later for those that couldnt be there for the wedding. Good luck.
You  cannot invite friends to an engagement party and not invite them to the  wedding. It is insulting, and it looks like gift fishing. Close friends  who understand the circumstances will send your son and his new bride a  gift, anyway. And if they do not, so be it.  If money is the reason you  cannot invite the cocktail dresses uk you wish to, offer to pay for them.
