Why you want to keep it? Just do as informed in your ceremony invitation letter.

If you got PR via the EU route, as appears to be the case following RoR, then no, you do not have to return as you don't lose the PR right in the same way as ILR under the UK immigration rules.

They may need to have the BRP to hand if they have a young child who is
not yet British. Luckily, since they went via the EEA-route, they have the option of keeping their biometric data without facing a £1000 fine.

But the OP said he/she is non-EU family member. Doesn't mean his/her partner is EU member.

You are not required to return your PR card as you are a family member of an EEA national
