Are God-parents invited to rehearsal dinner?

Answer 1

Anyone can be invited to the rehearsal dinner. The correct social form use to be just the parents of bride, groom, the bridesmaids, maid of honor, ushers, but now it quite acceptable to have friends at the rehearsal dinner. If you are trying to save money it is a nice gesture to invite the Godparents as 'extras' and leave friends who are not in the wedding party or aunts, uncles out. Just in case you didn't know, the formality years ago for being a Godparent was actually a 'guardian' status. You or your parents chose people whom you or your parents trusted to look after your/their children should something happen to you and your partner or to your parents. Today God parenting has lost the true meaning and is confusing.
