rehearsal dinner + brunch RSVP info w/ wedding invite?

About 30% of our guests are coming from out of town & will be invited to rehearsal dinner (night before) and brunch (day after) along with the wedding party.

My mother-in-law to be would like a RSVP to the rehearsal dinner included with the wedding invitation.

Since our ceremony & reception are in the same place, I thought I could use the separate reception card for the rehearsal dinner invite instead.

To simplify, we'd probably want the RSVP to the wedding and rehearsal dinner on the same RSVP card. Right? But now I'm thinking...what about the brunch? 

Yikes! If I could do it all in one without be confusing, that would be ideal.

I think it would be easier to do a completely separate invitation/RSVP card for the dinner and brunch as opposed to putting it all in with the wedding invitation. You might be able to include them all in the same envelope, but if you try to put anything extra on the wedding RSVP, it could get crowded. Also, you would need different RSVP cards for the different guests....one kind for the locals, the other kind for the OOTers...and knowing my luck, I would accidentally put the wrong card in the person's envelope and confuse people or invite extra people to the dinner or brunch. So I thiink it would be easier if the dinner and brunch had their own card, and you could just mail those separately or drop it in extra for the OOTers in the invitation envelope.

Limit the invitation to the ceremony, and have an insert for the reception or put "reception to follow."

Don't try to include other info with your invitations.  It's too much, and as Addie says, it's too easy for things to get mixed up.  Let your FMIL send her own invitations to the rehearsal dinner separately, and I'd just invite to the brunch by word of mouth.
