Are you or are you not doing Rehersal Dinner Invites?

tiffk10 · January 2012

Not. I'm thinking we will do some kind of lunch with family and special OOT guests before we decorate the church and then do a dinner with the WP after the rehersal. I'm thinking it'll be optional/causal so I don't want to put in the time to do invites lol.

cas6868 · January 2012

Yes. I didn't do them, but my FIs parents wanted to send them out since his family and my family don't talk much and they wanted everyone to know the plans.

JCWhitey · January 2012

Nope! But we're also not having a rehearsal or a rehearsal dinner.

cmac3504 · January 2012

Yes... we're including a note with the RD invite thanking the WP for being a part of our day, Fri-Sun schedule (Fri rehearsal to Sun brunch), and list of key contacts/ phone numbers.

FI has been in several weddings and I've always felt frustrated with the "flying by the seat of our pants" plans. My feeling is you can never give too much information (relatively speaking) to your wedding party & their guests.

I'm leaving everything RD up to my FILs...so I guess my answer is I'm not sure

I wish I could have trusted FILs!!! Seriously, there was no way.

elidellio · January 2012

Not a formal invite, no. I'm going to send something informal (maybe an e-mail?) to everyone to make sure they have the details, though.

amberr110 · January 2012

Yes, I will be sending RD invites. I saw some cute ones with chairs that said Mr. and Mrs. that I wanted and now I can't find them again. . .I guess that really wasn't part of the question though.

Yup, this. It's the only thing (RD) that I delegated and haven't tried to mircomanage anyway. I trust them.

jml1981 · January 2012

I'm not sure about this. Since it's DW we are probably just going to have the wedding party only at a dinner. FI's parents are coming down until the day of and everyone of our guests is OOT. I didn't want to have two full receptions to pay for. I may just send an email to the wedding party or do it by word of mouth.

lisa&sean · January 2012

We did, but with the wedding invitation since everyone was invited to the rehearsal dinner. There was an additional insert card in our invite that went along the lines of "Before they say I do, let's raise a glass or two!" and it had information about location and time.

We also included a spot on the RSVP card to check if they would be attending the rehearsal dinner so we didn't need a seperate invite!

brittandjp · January 2012

I would love to, but my FILs are planning the whole thing. I don't know if they plan on doing them or not. My guess is no since they haven't asked for addresses. They did ask for a guest list, which I gave to them, but not addresses. If they don't, I might end up sending little handwritten notes to each of the RD guests, thanking them, inviting them, giving them the details, etc. We'll see..

jbrook12 · January 2012

No, we are just going to tell everyone that is involved where to be and when.

[Deleted User] · January 2012

I've given the bridal party a verbal heads up on the timing for the rehearsal so that they can plan to be in town in time. I'll probably put together a detailed email itinerary and get that out a week or so in advance. it will just be the wedding party , my family, and FIs family at our rehearsal dinner, which is also FIs birthday

mrsmustard12 · January 2012

Knowing my FILs I will be the one to end up doing these. In fact, I should probably get started very soon...

rachel801231 · January 2012

I wasn't but now I'm considering it. Becuse my mom and I are pretty much doing the wedding ourselves, and are going to be so busy doing the rehearsal and setting up the night before, FMIL has graciously agreed to have the dinner on thursday. So I may send out invites just so everyone knows exactly what to do and where to show up.

This is what I'm doing too...

adrienne0925 · January 2012

No. I will most likely just send an Evite with the details but nothing formal!
