Rehearsal dinner invite wording

We are having a rehearsal at the church and then a dinner at a restaurant.  For some reason I am blocking on the wording.  What did you guys do???  TIA!

  • Well sh!t. You have to have an invite for this too?? Do you send it with their real invitations? Damnit...

  • We're hosting our own RD and used this wording: Please join M... and M... as they celebrate the eve of their marriage with a rehearsal dinner date time location We're inviting all our extended family to the rehearsal dinner, so for the parents and bridal party, we included a separate note with the invitation (we used the extra RSVP cards that came with the invitation set) telling them a time for the wedding rehearsal and where to meet. We also included a direction card and map since everyone's OOT - if all our guests were local a phone call probably would have sufficed!

  • We wanted it to be really laid-back and casual, so it said something like "Please join us for the wedding rehearsal of <Bride> and <Groom>, <time> at <place>.  Then celebrate with us at the rehearsal dinner!  <restaurant name and address>."  PIB of a draft, under Paper Stuffs.
