Officially on spring break and LOTS of Qs....

So I'm on spring break the rest of this week and all of next week.  I have been SEVERLY lagging on anything wedding, but plan to do TONS of it before I have to go back to school/work.  Prepare to see me being a post whore and please be patient with me ridiculous questions (they are ridiculous because most of them are things I should know since I've been on this MB for almost 2 years now *face palm*).

Now that I got all of that out, my first question is about the rehearsal dinner.  My FI's mother is planning and paying (thank you momma helen).  She asked me to write a list so she had a general number.  I wrote down everyone involved in the wedding, but didn't write down my priest.  Apparently the priest is not there for the rehearsal, the people the run through it with us is our sponsor couple from our FOCCUS meetings.  Do we invite them since they will be rehearsing with us, or can I kinda skip over that since we don't really know them and they don't know any of us?  I don't want to be rude, I just don't know....

    I don't think you need to invite them...especially since you don't know them that well. I am still trying to figure out our RD because we are paying for it and there will be over 30 people....plus our wedding and honeymoon

    I would personally invite them, to be polite. If you don't know them well then maybe they will decline.

    i would invite them out of courtesy.  usually, they wont attend.  we invited out officiants to our wedding.. .and of course they declined... it is just a courtesy. 

    if they do accept... it's only 2 more people.

    I would have said no if you didn't know them before, but given they were your sponsor couple I think I would out of courtesy as well.  They prob won't come anyway...

    I would vote to invite them as well. And actually - if I were them, I might attend. I'm not sure what a "sponsor couple" even is - but if they are the sponsor couple, even though you don't know them all that well, they are a (semi?) important part of your wedding? And if that is true, then they would be included.

    So - invite. They may come, they may not. I'm not sure what your future mother in law is planning for your rehearsal dinner, but if it is catered/at a home, the two additional people will not really matter in the grand scheme of things.  If it is a sit down dinner, they might like to just be "a part of your wedding" and be thrilled that you included them.

    Happy break!
