Best way to notify guest of a change

Honestly this should be done by you and it should be done ASAP. Send something along the lines of “we can’t wait to celebrate with you. We had to change venues for the rehearsal dinner on April 12th. It will now be at (new address). See you then”

What is the reason for waiting? I would go ahead and have her reach out to all potential rehearsal dinner guests, and say something like "due to unforeseen circumstances, the rehearsal dinner has been moved to a different location. *Insert place/time/address.* The B&G are getting very excited, and can't wait to see everyone!"

I agree with Sarah. I think you should just do this yourself, and I don't see the benefit of waiting until two days before. Most people know not to flood you with questions around the wedding anyway, but if someone asks you something that is answered on the website, you can kindly direct them there.

If you have already told the bridal party, how many others do you need to tell as I feel like the bridal party is the majority of the people at a rehearsal dinner. I would not delegate this to a bridesmaid as it’s really not her responsibility, she didn’t change the venue, you did.

Thank you all for the kind responses, to answer a few questions. I have fifty people coming to the rehearsal dinner . Unfortunately, people tend to take any opportunity to ask additional questions to put you on the spot even a week before . (I know it’s says no kids , but what about my kids . Are you really going to start at 4:30, where should I stay, do you ) I just figured it it was someone they didn’t know, they would be discouraged from asking . The reason I was considering waiting two days in advance is because if I sent it out sooner it gives less time to ask questions, however I do like the idea of sending it sooner just in case there are any cancellations . Thank you ladies .

View Quoted Comment I still think you should be the one to ask. I know you don’t want 50 questions, but you’re the host.
”Hi, just reaching out to let you know the rehearsal dinner venue has been changed. It will now take place at [insert venue name and address], looking forward to seeing you there!”
