Rehearsal dinner question

Typically the invitation only has the dinner location listed because there are often times other people invited who don’t need the rehearsal details. The ceremony venue should be on your regular wedding invitation. You can tell those involved in the rehearsal via word of mouth that it’s at the ceremony venue.

You can always get separate rehearsal dinner invitations - that way you can list the address there. Or as PP said, word of mouth should work fine!

Typically you would only send invites for the dinner itself. Then simply tell the people involved in the actual rehearsal where and when to be for that part.

I just did a quick head count and it looks like we will have around 40 people.

If I do rehearsal dinner invite and on the back have a quick note that wedding rehearsal will be at 4pm at location A and dinner will be at 6pm at location B would that work?

We all have such busy schedules and there’s family from out of state, I dont know if word of mouth is the best option.

But im also worried about the etiquette around all that.

Not everyone invited to the dinner is usually or necessarily part of the rehearsal itself. Those that go to the rehearsal are only those involved in the ceremony. Those that you’re inviting to the dinner that aren’t actively involved in the ceremony don’t/shouldn’t have to be there for the active rehearsing part. The people that you need to be there for the rehearing should be specifically informed of those details directly. So I think the note on the back is okay, but shouldn’t be the only way those people involved are informed— I would call/text/email anyone you need to rehearse directly to confirm the specific details of the rehearsal.

I would either do a separate invite for the rehearsal dinner or spread by word of mouth. We are not sending invites for ours. We will either do a Facebook group message or text everyone the details separately.
