Another Rehearsal Dinner?

For budget reasons we need to keep the RD small.  We are inviting only the wedding party and their spouse, people involved in helping with the wedding ceremony itself, and the officiant. FI's grandfather is a musician and is traveling from many states away to sing a song he wrote for us. He and his grandmother will be invited but do I have to invite our other grandparents? I don't think they'd even know he was invited and they weren't. I think he goes along with the WP since he's actually involved in the ceremony but my mom thinks I need to invite all the grandparents. We are paying for our rehearsal dinner ourselves.

  • I would just feel really, really badly if I didn't invite my grandparents.

  • Ditto Fische.  To me, grandparents are like parents so they were included in everything.
  • Grandparents are generally invited to the RD. I'd feel awful not inviting mine - I consider them immediate family. And yes, definitely if you invite one set, invite the other. You never know that Grandma A won't say to Grandma B "we missed you last night." That'd be really bad.
