Who gets invited to the Rehearsal Dinner?

Do the dates of the wedding party get invited?

Re: Who gets invited to the Rehearsal Dinner?

  • We're including dates/families of bridal party members.  I think sometimes out of town family members are invited, too.
  • Yes, dates of the wedding party should be invited. Other than that, it's pretty much up to you to decide if you want to include OOT family, etc.

    Anyone who is participating in the rehearsal should be invited. It is nice if you also invite their significant others/spouses. From there it varies, some people invite ALL of their OOT guests, some just their OOT family, etc.

    We are just doing bridal party, immediate families, and officiant with their respective significant others. It will probably be about 25 people.

  • I'm inviting all of the rehearsal participants (including the officiant, but not the organist), plus their spouses and children. Total count is about 28 or 30.
  • I've never been to a rehearsal dinner where significant other's of the bridal party were invited, so perhaps it depends on location.  It has always been parents, wedding party, and the officiant if participating in rehearsal.  I have heard you can invite OOT guests so they have something to do.  If you have the budget, you could consider letting your wedding party bring their significant others.  We're sending out evites and allowing the bridal party to have +1, so they can decide if they want to bring their spouses.

  • We are inviting the significant others to ours. Our officiant (who is a friend that became ordained), parents and thats it. Every guest is an OOTer so inviting them all would be like hositng a pre-wedding.

  • We're only inviting the bridal part/parents/officiant.  Think that'll be a total of 12 people.  Everyone will be OOT though so they will be welcome to come since my family seems to always be around each other.
