Rehearsal Dinner - Who to invite

Aside from the obvious: (BP, anyone involved in the wedding, immediate family), who did you have at your rehearsal dinner? My FI parents are paying so I'm trying to make it as small as possible because I have a large extended out of town family.

Ive heard in the past that you should invite all out of town guests, so I was thinking I would invite my Aunts and Uncles, but not my cousins (there will be up to 10 out of town aunts and uncles possibly coming, and probably more than 10 cousins & their families - everyone is older than me and has their own families). My FI said he is pretty sure his 2 out of town cousins and their families will be invited. Since his side of the family is paying should I just not care about that? I really dont have much a problem with it, since I have so much family.

Another pickle, I have two out of town bridesmaids, one of which I know will not want to stay at her parents house in our home town (home town is about an hour from the wedding festivities) , do I invite her BF to the rehearsal dinner?? I feel bad having him eat dinner by himself in a hotel room, but if he is invited, then my other girls should have their husbands/BFs as well. haha these are the things I am unsure about...
