Free Rehearsal Dinner Invitations for Your Special Event!
Rehearsal Dinner Invitations are the best way to make sure everyone knows when and where to go for the wedding rehearsal, as well as what to expect after all of their hard work. Because of the costs associated with the rest of the wedding, you'll want to choose Invitations Wedding Rehearsal Dinner that are inexpensive. Below are some other important points to remember when preparing your rehearsal dinner wedding invitations.
Wedding Rehearsal Invitations: Who Makes the List?
When preparing rehearsal dinners invites, you first need to know who is invited. That's actually the easy part. Etiquette recommends keeping the guest list relatively small so your meal can be a more intimate event. Obviously, everyone in the wedding party is going to be invited because they must attend. The parents of the bride and groom should also be invited. If the parents are divorced and/or remarried, the rehearsal dinner cards should go out to all the parents. However, if the parent paying for the meal feels uncomfortable with the other parent being in attendance, exceptions can be made. Other close family members, such as grandparents or siblings, can also be invited.
The list should be created in advance because you'll want to get the rehearsal dinner wedding invitations in the mail about two weeks before the event so people can make arrangements for attending. Your bridal shower should be held a couple of months before the wedding, and the Bridal Shower Invitations should be mailed six to eight weeks before the party.
Wedding Rehearsal Dinner: What to Serve and Where to Go?
Decisions about the wedding rehearsal event should be made primarily by the person paying the bill. Traditionally, the responsibility for paying for this part of the wedding has fallen on the parents of the groom. Whoever pays for the food also covers the costs of the rehearsal dinner invites and their mailing. There are no set rules about the meal. A formal, catered meal is one option. However, this type of meal will be the most costly. You may be able to work out a discount if you use the same catering company for this event and the wedding reception. It never hurts to ask so you'll know all of your options. Many families opt for a nice restaurant, possibly reserving a party room or section of the restaurant in advance. The cost is usually less, but you may want to specify that alcohol costs would be paid by the individuals. Otherwise, your bill could end up very bloated. Some very casual families will do cookouts instead of a more traditional bridal invitations, but this can be difficult since most take place in the evening after the completion of the wedding practice itself.
Planning the Rehearsal Dinner Toasts
Because everyone is usually exhausted and anxious at the meal, there is no reason to schedule any entertainment. In fact, the entertainment is usually the responsibility of the bride and groom who typically offer a toast at the meal. Make sure you speak to the couple before the meal so they are aware of this option and will be prepared to say a few words. Otherwise the rehearsal dinner invitations won't be the only thing memorable about the event.
