Rehearsal dinner invitations wording

I would send a seperate invite for the rehersal dinner

I think i have recieve dthis one time out of the weddings i have been in.. I am not planning on doing it. I figure everyone will know they are to be available for the evening and will have all info regarding it as soon as I do. so..?

p.s. I dont think it is bad to do them, but I also dont feel them necessary.

Check out this website..it shows 11 different examples of rehearsal dinner invites. hope it helps.

This is what I used for mine.

Chad popped the question, and Jamie

said "Yes"

All the planning is over from the hall to

the dress

Only one thing remains for this day to be

great

"Practice makes Perfect"

April 30th is the date

We'll practice the ceremony,

and iron out the kinks

Then it's off to the Bill Bateman’s

for some dinner and drinks!

Please join the bride and groom to be

at 6:00pm, Wesley Freedom

United Methodist Church

Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!

great feed back...;-)

Jamie your invite was so cool! I love it!

I would suggest putting the rehearsal time on the invite, with the dinner to follow information. Clear communication makes for happy events!

Jamie's that is sooo cute, think I'm going to steal it!

But do you have to MAIL them seperatly?

I did a simple one:

Please join us for a rehearsal dinner honoring

{couple's name}

time and date of dinner, and include info on the rehearsal.

Nika, you are right! i don't want them to show up at the dinner and miss the rehearsal...;-)

Goskell, I like your simple idea too. I'll think we fiance will prefer something like that.

MrsJoseph, I don't know if you HAVE to send the separate but we just finalized the rehearsal dinner details and we sent the invites long ago... For the out of town guests I'll include their rehearsal's invite in the welcome bag that I'll leave at their hotels.

Great resolution Paula D.

Have a great time and Good Luck!

I am hoping that my daughters FMIL actually plans the dinner. Oy! This has been a lesson in patience as both side are from different backgrounds. They are not used to formal events and we are actually afraid that she may not have actually made reservations (at a very busy, less than stellar, eatery.) Yes, yes, I am a food snob LOL! Doesn't have to be spendy, but does need to be good...and the place she chose is not good. The view is great...the food, atmosphere and health reports, not so much. But, we will keep our mouths shut, eat a bit and be happy that we are paying for the reception. ;-)
