Rehearsal dinner - invitations

Hi everyone.  Is it typical to send invitations to everyone who is invited to the rehearsal and rehearsal dinner?  I was thinking of just sending an email, but also wondering if a casual invitation was more appropriate?

Thanks!

Re: Rehearsal dinner - invitations

  • I guess it depends on the formality of your RD.

    My ILs hosted our RD and I just relayed the information of where and what time through my email I sent to all our wedding party participants about the rehearsal (time, place, etc).

    If you are having something very formal I would suggest mailed invites, but if you are doing something casual I would just send an email or you could even relay the information in person or over the phone.

  • I sent small cards with the wedding  invitations to those who were invited to the rehearsal. It worked really well. My cousin just did word of mouth, I have recieved emails, and seperate invites. All work. Just depends how fancy or casual your rehearsal will be.
  • We had the rehearsal dinner at H's parents' house, and since we had a small wedding party, we invited everyone in person or via phone. Granted, only about 12 people were invited as this covered our wedding party and immediate family plus SOs. I would say it depends on the venue and the formality of the event. Also, if someone besides you and your FI are hosting, then get their input as well.

  • We are including all out of town family for our rehearsal dinner so we are sending invitations. We'll call our wedding party to let them know when to be at the rehearsal.
