Groom's dinner invitations

Travis&Cari

FMIL has decided to invite all the out of towners to the groom's dinner.  Should the invitations for the grooms dinner go out with or around the same time as the wedding invite?  Or should we wait to see which out of town people RSVP yes to the wedding and then send the grooms dinner invite?  Which makes more sense?

The Rehearsal Dinner? Wait for RSVP's and send out the RD invites a couple weeks before.

What's a groom's dinner?

Travis&Cari

yes, rehearsal dinner.  Except we aren't having a rehearsal so they are calling it a groom's dinner.

We are doing a grooms dinner as well (no rehearsal until the day of) and we are sending invites with the wedding invitations.  We're only inviting wedding party to the grooms dinner though so in their invitations we will stick an invite for the GD.  We're also making an extra space on the RSVP for the grooms dinner.

We're sending ours out right after the invitations. I'm hoping people will adjust travel plans accordingly if they want to attend the RD, and it may be too late for some of our guests if they don't know about it close to the time of the invitation.

Premature button pushing...if you wanted to wait on the OOTers until they RSVP, I think that would be fine. I wouldn't wait for people you really want to be there though (WP, immediate family) We're not inviting OOT guests, so that didn't apply for me.

Andress that's a great idea.I think I will just tell her mail them out a few days after the invitations go out.  You're right, I don't want people to not know about it and then mess up their travel plans.
