Normally the Maid of Honor hosts the rehearsal dinner and if you have a planner or officiant they will conduct the rehearsal of the ceremony. That way the rehearsal dinner is more personalized.

What to do if brides parents are not coming to rehearsal and dinner after the rehearsal?
If the brides parents have a good excuse for not being able to attend the rehearsal dinner it isn't the end of the world and you can still have the rehearsal dinner. If there was a disagreement and the bride's parents refuse to come it is up to the bride to be to let her parents know that it is going to be one of the happiest days of her life and they are ruining the fun by not attending the rehearsal dinner. If they still decline then have fun with the ones that will be attending the rehearsal dinner.

As long as the mother of the groom is not there and the groom agrees then there is nothing wrong with the father bringing his girlfriend to the rehearsal dinner and wedding as long as the bride also agrees. It is up to the bride and groom. Most times the bride just wants her parents there so the mother and father should try to get along for their daughter's wedding.Wedding, yes. Rehearsal dinner no, unless the mother is not present. This sort of thing should be guided by the feelings of all involved...the girlfriend last.

The mother of the bride goes to the church rehearsal where the wedding party practices what they should do and say and then there is generally a Wedding Rehearsal Dinner after which all members of the wedding party (including the parents of the bride and groom.) There is no dress rehearsal for most brides or wedding party, but the bride and her brides maids would have to go into the wedding shop where the wedding dress and brides maids dresses were purchased to be sure no extra alterations have to be made on any of the dress and the mother may attend this if she asks the bride (which is generally not a problem.)

Is there a seating protocol for a wedding rehearsal dinner?
If you are asking what the meal is, this can be either casual to formal; it follows the rehearsal and is also called the grooms dinner. The wedding party attends this and is the last time these individuals are together before the ceremony when everyone is 'on' and has other responsibilities. It is a time to toast each other and each family to bond before the big day. Some have a BBQ and keep it relaxed others go all out in a favorite restaurant. Just try not to overdo this if it is the night before....
Can groom family just give a simple get together to introduce his bride to the groom's family only?
Of course they can, if they want to. It would probably be regarded as rude if they did so in lieu of holding a rehearsal dinner, but if they wanted to do this in addition to the rehearsal dinner, I doubt anyone with a right to an opinion would be offended (read that as: some of the bride's family might object, but too bad; it's not their choice).
Who should host the rehearsal dinner for a wedding?
The best and cheapest place to host a rehearsal dinner would be to have it at right at home. Guests can be much more relaxed and comfortable at a home and gives everyone the opportunity to get to know one another and hang out.
