Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

I like the evite idea since you need entree choices. That way it can formulate the responses for you and you dont have to keep up with people's choices just print them at the end.

Save the money. You don't need them. Don't know why or how this trend started. Everyone going to the rehearsal dinner probably already knows they need to go, they just need the details. Word or mouth (or text or e-mail) is fine. Your mom isn't outdated or nuts. Plus it saves some trees.

My FMIL is doing an eVite - Solid compromise!

For my friends wedding, she did rehearsal invites, but it's open to all guests of the wedding. It was included in the invitation. If it's just for bridal party and SO's, I would do an evite or word of mouth!

Thank you for posting this. I've never received a paper invite for a RD, but it popped up on my WW checklist. I wasn't sure if RD paper invites were common. It is unlikely that we will do the paper invites, given our small wedding party (and the fact that neither of us have received paper invites for RDs). Evites seem like a good compromise (as noted by Angela).

I think you can go either way on this. If the restaurant is asking for entree selections in advance, I would be more inclined to to either an invite or an e-vite just so you have the information in more than one place. I would probably forget who wanted what if I took entree choices by word of mouth.

We are sending invites, but I think either way is acceptable.

They're not necessary, but if you want to send them, go for it. I've received a physical invite for every RD I've been invited to.

Since we already have our Rehearsal and Rehearsal Dinner scheduled, I was thinking about slipping an enclosure card into the invites for the wedding party that details the events of that evening, etc. Not sure if this goes along with standard etiquette for this type of thing, but my WP is really chill and it'll save us the extra postage of sending a separate invite.

I sent out a separate invite since about 1/2of those attending ate from out of state. They cost 50 cents a piece on vistaprint and will hopefully help me avoid having to text everyone the time and address on the day of when they're undoubtably all texting me about it since you know they won't remember

I've never gotten a physical invite to a RD before personally. It's always just been a phone call or text saying when and where. Personally I wouldn't bother with the added expense unless it was a huge black tie affair with a ton of people coming or something like that.
