Rehearsal dinner
Are Invites Necessary?
Is it necessary to send out formal invitations for the rehearsal dinner or can it be done by word of mouth? We are trying to cut costs and think this may be a good way to do that.

I have asked some dear friends to help set up for my wedding. Although they are not in the wedding party, should I still invite them to the rehearsal dinner?

Must Distant Relatives Be Invited?
I just found out that my three half-sisters are travelling quite a distance to come to my wedding. They are not part of the wedding party — I’ve only seen each of them five times in 25 years and they are not my favourite people! They’ll be in town in time for the rehearsal dinner,…

How Large A Meal Is Expected?
My aunt and uncle are generously paying for my rehearsal dinner, so I want to keep it affordable for them. One restaurant we like can do a menu of appetisers and light bites that works with our budget. Is it okay to serve that or will everyone be expecting more of a “meal”?

Who is invited to the rehearsal dinner? My fiancé says family, everyone in the wedding, and all the out of town guests. I personally don’t want to include all the out-of-towners.

Must Parents Attend If They Won’t Pay?
My fiancé’s family either has no idea they are supposed to host a rehearsal dinner or they just don’t care! My parents can’t afford to host (they are already shelling out big bucks for me, so I won’t ask for more), but they suggested I have everyone come to my house and have it catered…

Must We Have One?
My fiancé and I just bought a house and have our hands full paying for that and the wedding; thus, we can’t afford to have a rehearsal dinner too. Neither of us has parents, so asking for financial help is not an option. My sister suggested we have a gathering of the wedding party and…
