Tips for Sending Rehearsal Dinner Invitations

Wedding invitations are a big deal. Along with the photo album and video, the invitations are keepsakes that last a life time. They also set the stage for the wedding by giving invited guests a feel for the overall class and production of the occasion. Because the rehearsal dinner is such a key part of the wedding, the rehearsal dinner invitations also hold a special meaning. Keep in mind too that years later, this invitation will be something the bride will proudly show her children and even their potential spouses.

The recipient list is very important in the scheme of things. That isn’t hard. Wedding rehearsal dinner etiquette requires that anyone who has had a hand in making the wedding happen should receive invitations to the rehearsal dinner. This includes the parents of the bride and groom, as well as the bridal party, and any other family and friends who the bride and groom think should attend. Don’t forget the priest, minister or official who oversees the ceremony. Keep the list relatively small, limited only to those who have responsibilities during the wedding.

The design and printing of these invitations is important. Many people opt to have the people who create the wedding invitation create these as well. It’s probably the best way. The fewer service providers with a hand in the wedding the better. This will also mean a consistent look between all the invitations. It’s a lot easier this way to create invitations that highlight the same elements as the main invitations. And don’t forget the possibility of saving money. The vendor may offer a discount if all the work is given to them. However it’s the groom’s parents who usually oversee the reception dinner. They may feel more involved and important if they can come up with something unique. A slightly different design might also add some variety and spice to the wedding.

The rehearsal dinner is important in the overall scheme of the wedding. It’s almost like a free throw in basketball. The wedding benefits from quality rehearsal dinner invitations, while bad ones can set a negative tone.
