Inviting to rehearsal dinner

Yes, partners/spouses should be invited to the rehearsal dinner

Couples are a social unit and should be invited to events as such.

To me, all significant others should be included. I'd feel super weird being invited to a rehearsal dinner and not my husband. I probably just wouldn't go.

Couples come as a package so yes, spouses should be included for the rehearsal dinner.

Yes, your bridal party and their significant others should both be invited to your rehearsal dinner. As well as your family and your fiance's family (as well as their significant others).

Yes I’m inviting my bridal parties spouses. I have two girls who I’m giving plus ones to at the wedding but inviting solo to the dinner.

Any out of town guests should be invited. Whether they decide to join or not is up to them.

We invited bridal party and SOs (though only 4 of our bridal party members have SOs, and only 1 of them ended up coming to the dinner—and i consider him my friend too at this point, since my bridesmaid has been dating him 5 years lol), plus our immediate families (parents, siblings, grandparents) and out of town relatives.



The reason we expanded to “out of town relatives” was because those were the people we specifically wanted to make sure we got to spend extra time with. 3 of my uncles, 1 of my cousins (all live across the country and I rarely see them), and then my husband’s uncle who flew in from Spain. Like, we weren’t about to tell my husband’s uncle who flew in from another country that he couldn’t join us for dinner 😂 we wanted to spend extra time with those people so it was our pleasure to have them there.

But if we expanded it to “all family” we would’ve had like 50 people, and if we expanded it to “all out of town guests” it would’ve been half the wedding lmao. So the way we did it made sense for us.
