Rehearsal Dinner invitations

irishmilla02

After just spending a bunch of money and time addressing a ton of invitations, I am trying to figure out the most economical, time-saving way to send out the rehearsal dinner invitations while not seeming too tacky.  Are e-invitations too tacky?  I mean, it's mainly just my family and the out of town guests.  What about the type of party invitations that you fill in all your own information?  Any suggestions ladies?P.S. - I realize that traditionally this is the groom's parents responsibility but I have taken on this task as well.

My MIL took care of this. I gave her names/addresses and she sent out the invites and took care of RSVPs. Thinking about it now, I don't even know what the invitation looked like. I didn't really care. It was just more of a formality since we already included the info on our wedding website and invitation (in one of the pocketfold inserts) I personally think you shouldn't spend a lot on this. You can just make your own. You can buy paper at Papersource or something and design/print on your own.

I wouldn't worry too much about it either.  I would be perfectly happy with an Evite :pBut if you wanted a more formal invite, you can always get one of those "just print and go" invite packets from Staples, Target or wherever.

we're just verbally telling people - I agree, I am I done making invitations.  Is your RD really formal? If not, I don't see a problem doing a casual invite format.

I bought some small blank note cards with pink and green flowers on the front and wrote them out by hand.  I stuck them in the welcome bags for those who were invited to the rehearsal dinner, just family and bridal party only. :-)  Oh, I also included a little 'poem' that I found on the internet to make it fun..

I just received an Evite for this - and couldn't have cared less!!  Saving the environment one Evite at a time

I concur.  Skip the paper and go the e-vite route.  I think it is simpler for you AND simpler for the recipient.

Haha!  We didn't even send out a formal invitation for this!We pretty much just put it on our website and welcome letter as part of the schedule of events and mainly by word of mouth.  Then again, we didn't have a formal dinner for the RD.BTW Cristin, I responded to your post about jewelry below.  Dunno if you saw it since it got pushed down the board.

I didn't know you were supposed to do invitations. I have been to a bunch of rehearsal dinners and never once got an invitation. Save the $$$

**jumping in**I have a cheap alternative to you.. it's halfway in between sending an e-invite, and a paper invite. I have a etsy site where I sell digital files (save the dates, invites, etc) and you can have them printed at your local kodak/walmart/target/or even vistaprint for extremely inexpensive. Most photo sites only charge you 15cents per print! Here is my etsy site:www.JulieHoogdesigns.etsy.comThanksJulie
