Online Rsvp: send wedding and rehearsal invites together or separate?

91419bride, on May 23, 2019 at 3:27 PM Posted in Etiquette and Advice 0 5

Hi Everyone! We are using the Knot for RSVPs for both the wedding and for the rehearsal. For both the wedding and rehearsal, each person will also have to pick an entree when they RSVP online.

We have separate wedding and rehearsal dinner invitations to send out. Should they be sent together or separate?

On the knot, when you have two RSVPs set up, you can either turn on one or both. If we just turn on the wedding one when we send out the wedding invites, some guests may RSVP immediately. Then they'll have to go back online when they get the rehearsal dinner invitation and when we turn on the RSVP function for the rehearsal dinner. The rehearsal dinner RSVP only shows up for those who are invited.
OR we could send both invitations together, and turn on both RSVPs together. When this happens, you can go in to RSVP and it guides you through both immediately, so it's one and done. But I don't want people to get confused when receiving two invites, about timing or who is included in the wedding invite vs the rehearsal, etc.

What do you think? Is it classier to send them separate? Is it more clear to send them separate? More convenient to send them together?

Thanks in advance!

    We sent our rehearsal dinner invites with our wedding invites!

    We sent ours at the same time, for ease of RSVPing for both at once, and also so out of town guests would know that we wanted them to be at the dinner the night before as well (so they would make sure they arrived in time for the rehearsal dinner).

    Our rehearsal dinner "invite" was just a little insert card that we sent along with the invitations to the appropriate people. It just said like "The night before, please join us for a rehearsal dinner" and then had the time and address.

    We sent ours at the same time, it made the most sense for us! It was the same size/style as our details card so it matched the suite.

    We also used the knot and just sent our rehearsal dinner invites in the same envelope at the same time. I don't see the need to send it separately and in my opinion I don't find it any less formal. Ours matched the rest of our stuff so it looked fine.

    It is more clear to recipients, to do them separately. If someone other than you is doing the RD, the invitations would be from the hostess, not you. But either way, classier to do them completely separately.
