A rehearsal dinner isn't a formally defined event. The best thing to do is invite close family and anyone who you feel should be there and of course the wedding party.
Often the wedding planner is not invited to the rehearsal dinner, but if the couple want to invite the wedding planner they should also invite his or her's spouse.
Never. That is inappropriate to invite a guest somewhere and make them pay
idk the the answer though
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.
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.
Will have been pleased to invite you to dinner.
Traditionally it is the Groom's family who will pay for the rehearsal dinner.
immediate family as well as anyone playing an actuall role in the wedding. If you are having the rehearsal dinner the night before the wedding, it is also traditional and appropriate to invite out-of-town guests. This is a good show of hospitality, and keeps your guests from having to sit around their hotel room or wander around a strange town looking for somewhere to eat/something to do.
The dinner generally follows an afternoon rehearsal, so no separate invitation is needed. Just notify them of the rehearsal time and date with the addition of " Dinner to follow at [ time]PM [ and place] The Chart House.[EX].
The groom's family pays for this, so you have to go with their wishes. If it was me, I'd invite everyone...if it is too much expense, then choose a less expensive restaurant.
To host a budget wedding rehearsal, you will need to get the entire wedding party on board. Then you can rent a small hall and have a potluck dinner.
