Is it ok to post about Rehersal Dinner location/details on wedding website?

We've been really into blogging about our upcoming wedding, but I was wondering, is it appropriate to post about the Rehersal Dinner Location/details on our wedding website? And then just tell those who are invited (via in person/phone/email) where to find that info?

We're not doing invitations for the Rehersal Dinner...so I thought our website might be a good place for people to find those details.

Any advice is appreciated. Thanks

I'm not sure how that would work if you aren't doing invites for the RD.  Say I had your website info because I'm going to the wedding.  If I saw the RD info up there how would I know if I needed that or not? 
If I am a family member that "should" be invited, do expect me to keep checking the website?  If I don't know that I should be invited (say an OOT guest), how would I even know that I needed to keep checking the website?

I think you still need some type of invite for it, even if its just a generic pack of cards for $3 where you fill out the info. Like amrs said, I wouldn't know to keep checking the website to get the info or whether or not you expected me to attend.

If you're trying to save money, I would do an evite or something. That way, people who are invited, know they are invited, and people who aren't won't have the information to be confused with!

I posted it on my website and said something like "Dinner for wedding party and out-of-town guests to be held at __."  But I also did invitations.

I thought about this, but I'm not going to.  I think its kind of rude to list "exclusive" events on the website....

The wedding website is created by the bride/bride's parents to share information about the wedding.

The RD is hosted by the groom's parents, and, at least in the region of the country where I live, the groom's parents are very tight about the only event they are hosting in a whole weekend of wedding events.  The groom's parents take great care in food-testing various venues, picking one and working out the contract details, and then designing/sending the RD invitations, etc.  I know one bride who sent her FMIL three sample RD invitation designs, and the FMIL snapped back that SHE certainly had hosted MANY dinner parties before and certainly SHE knew how to invite people to a dinner SHE was hosting.  You really don't want to start off with a pissedoff FMIL.  Let the groom's parents have their event.  Don't go posting their event details mixed in with the details of other events being hosted by other people.

Don't unless you are inviting everyone to the RD.

Kristin789, I don't see where the OP said that the RD is being hosted by the groom's parents.  My FI and I are hosting the RD dinner ourselves.  Maybe the OP is doing the same?

OP- I just think it would cause more confusion to have the rehearsal dinner info on the website, especially if not everyone is invited. I just think you open yourself up to having people assume they are invited when they might not be, or end up with hurt feelings or extra guests that you felt obligated to say yes to.

I would leave it off, do some inexpensive invitations or an evite, and leave it at that.

Also, Kristin, I think your statement is way too limiting to one point of view, because I lived in the same region you do, and I never have any idea what you are talking about.
