My FI and I are getting married in October and my mother and I have different views on who should come to the rehearsal dinner. I think that it should be the bridal party and their spouces and my grandparents (his grandfather wont come). My mother has heard from my grandma that we should invite out of town guests b/c it is "polite". I understand that people are coming from far away to celebrate with us but, isnt that what the 4 hour reception is for???? I cannot seem to get to through my moms head that I dont feel that they all need to be invited, she thinks that it is all about $$ for my FMIL but its not, I want it intimate and special for the bridal party.
Any suggestions!???
Re: HELP!
Our RD was the BP (which includes readers and ushers) and their SOs/dates plus parents and grandparents and that was it. That was already pretty large, I can't imagine having tried to inlude OOT guests too, it would have been gigantic...
