Blessing and rehearsal dinner

I've asked a relative to say the blessing at our reception. He put a lot of thought and work into and wrote something beautiful. Should I invite him to the rehearsal dinner?
He's not doing anything at the ceremony so he doesn't need to "rehearse". But he is speaking, albeit at the reception. Thanks!

    It's not necessary if he's not required to rehearse, but it would be a nice gesture. I'd include him and his S/O if applicable. It's just two extra people and it sounds like this person is important to you.

    I wouldn't.   You can if you want to, but you don't have to, and it might be a little bit weird if your RD is ONLY people in the ceremony, and then this guy and his wife/SO.

    I think you could go either way with this.  If you want to invite him I think it's fine to.  If not, he doesn't need to rehearse so you're fine not inviting him too.  We invited family that wasn't in the wedding to the RD.  We gave them an approximate time and they met us at the restaurant.
