Rehearsal Invitations Do or Dont

How many of you did or plan on doing rehearsal dinner invitations? Part of me feels like it’s kind of weird to send an invitation via mail for something that I’ll be calling people up individually to try to plan out a time that works best for everyone. I feel like they might get the invitation in the mail and be like… Umm yeah obviously, lol or might feel like ‘they really didn’t need to send us invitations’ type of thing. But when I look on minted the rehearsal dinner invitations are so cute and I am a sucker for sending invitations!
Opinions????

We're not doing invites for that, I didn't know that was a thing! We're just sending notice by word of mouth, but also including it on our wedding website. You're able to edit which guests see what events on your wedding timeline, so we're just have "The Rehearsal" and allowing only those that need to be there to see it. That way we know for sure that they've seen it because it pops up when the RSVP.
I honestly don't feel like they're worth it. I've seen them on Minted too, but didn't understand why some thought it would be necessary.

It just seems like a waste,no matter how fancy,cute they are IMO.
I agree with Shelby I don't feel like they're worth it but I know where you're coming from. Everyone wanna enjoy some "little pleasures" while planning ...

We just had our rehearsal dinner last night & we didn’t send invitations for it. I’d save the $$$ as people are just going to throw them away.

No. Word of mouth/text only.

We didn't send invites. We just told everyone via word of mouth/text where and when they needed to be somewhere. It worked out perfectly fine for us.

I didn’t do invitations but put an insert in with the invitations with all the details.

My IL's hosted our RD and they sent invites. I think MIL got them on Etsy!

We sent evites for our rehearsal dinner. It was still a relatively semi-formal event (private room of the on-site restaurant at the country club the wedding was to be held at the next day), but it was just easier to communicate the details through evite since we had already sent out of the wedding invitations and I wasn't going to mail another thing.

We included inserts in our invitation suite for those who were invited to the rehearsal dinner. When guests RSVP-ed to the wedding, they also had to RSVP to the rehearsal dinner (and farewell brunch) at the same time. It made things so easy not having to send separate invitations and track down RSVPs for a second (and in our case third) event. I've also known lots of brides to do E-vites for the rehearsal dinner as another option if you don't want to send physical invitations.

It's not necessary hun! You can always send an email out to them as a reminder So, definitely save your money.

We are doing invitations for the rehearsal dinner. We’ll be inviting 43 people from Our guest list and have to have an accurate head count for the venue. I’m having the invitation printed with the wedding invitations and will insert them in the suites of those who are invited. If it’s a small list or even a big one, you could spread the word via text or email, maybe a Facebook group.

We included a card with the rehearsal dinner info (date, time, location) along with the invitation. Like it was just an insert that we stuck in the envelope with the invitation. I feel like even if you have discussed it with people before, it still helps to have a formal invitation so they will have the details written out in front of them. Otherwise you may end up getting a lot of day-before texts saying "wait what time is the dinner again?" lol
