Rehearsal Dinner

Who exactly should be invited to the rehearsal dinner?

Since we are getting married on a Friday afternoon, and the wedding party consists of 4 people; do we really need to have one?

Anyone at the rehearsal should be invited to the rehearsal dinner, so anyone involved in your wedding. It does not have to be anything fancy.  It can be pizza or subs at your house.   If you are doing gifts for your parents/ bridal party they are usually given out at the RD.

I dont think it, is necessary, if you do not want to have it, if you do not want to.
 
We are just having who is in the wedding, bridal party, their Husbands, significate others, parents, family participants

A rehearsal dinner is not necessary at all. Like PP mentioned, it can also be very informal. Just make sure you invite your WP's SOs also.

Usually you invite the WP, their spouses or SOs, your parents, his parents, the officiant (and anyone else who needs to be at the rehearsal - ie readers, musicians) and sometimes OOT guests. It doensn't have to be a fancy or expensive affair - we're doing pizza and wings in the church basement.

We are having the wedding party and SO's, parents, my grandmother, flower girl & parents, and an aunt and uncle that have been very important in my life.
