I've been hearing from people that I need to include rehearsal dinner invites in the actual wedding invitiatons for the bridal party with RSVP cards.. can't I just verbally or via e mail tell ppl about the rehearsal? I'm not tryin to spend anymore money on printing and invitations them I already have to

    Yes, you can verbally tell people. That's all we did. There's no need for extra inserts, invitations, etc.
    What did you think would happen if you walked up to a group of internet strangers and told them to get shoehorned by their lady doc?~StageManager14

    We didn't do invites.  Either verbal invites or e-mail so they have it in writing should be sufficient.  That said, if you need a firm number for the restaurant, paper invitations would give you the benefit of specifying who is invited to the rehearsal dinner.

    I emailed my wedding party because I also needed to include day-of time information, like when to be at the venue for photos and things of that nature.

    I have never received a RD invitation.

    I did invites (but just found some in craft store w/template) so bridal party would have something to stick on fridge as a reminder and also have address of locations to take into car w/them to enter into GPS. Also I did have them RSVP because I wasn't sure who's spouses were going to be able to make it or not and I needed to give the resturant a head count. I also had about 6 OOT guests that I wanted to invite who's emails I didn't have.

    I will admit, I tend to be old fashion & send out invites in the mail when e-vites would probably work out just fine too.

    We did an evite so that our out of town guests could see the link to the restaurant. I think a telephone call would be enough, though.

    I am the paperless post monitor for my cousin, and that's been pretty successful so far. The invite takes everyone to a form where they fill in their RSVP information, which goes into a google doc spreadsheet. When the date passes, I'll use the sum function to get the totals, which I'll send to the relevant party hosts so they have a headcount. We won't have to make too many calls, either, because most people are responding.

    If you do send out rehearsal invitations, I wouldn't send them with the wedding invitation. If you don't do invitations, I'd spread it via word of mouth, email, etc.

    I've always received printed invitations, but often they've been as simple as the info printed on fancy paper on a home printer, or handwritten in a card.  I think only once I received it via email.
