Rehearsal dinner invites??

Okay, I am new to all this, and I am not sure about exactly who to invite to the rehearsal dinner.  My fiance's parents are footing the bill and want a list of who to invite. I have heard that etiquette suggests that all out of town guests should be invited, but since they are paying, I am not going to give them a ginormous list and expect them to pay for everyone.  I know basics...wedding party and their spouses/guests, parents, pastor and his spouse....grandparents?

    Yup.  You're right on.

    Wedding party and spouses/guests, parents, siblings, grandparents, officiant and spouse, and anyone else involved in the rehearsal (readers, candle lighters, whatever).

    Okay, so out of town aunts & uncles, cousins, etc. are not required to invite?  That's good because I know they cannot spend an arm and a leg on everyone, but I also didn't want to leave someone out that I didn't know I was supposed to invite! Thanks for your quick reply J&K! :)

    Nope, not a requirement.  Common in some circles, but it's definitely something extra that's nice to do if you can swing it, but isn't required and shouldn't be expected.

    You're good!

    Half of our guests are going to be OOT. If we were having a rehearsal dinner, I can't begin to imagine how much it would cost.
